My guitar teacher has a JEM like Vai's and he has the same pickups as vai is using too. I played once and its got good treble i remember and is a really really light guitar.
By virtue of their electrical properties, tubes generate a special waveform when they're saturated, which is why tube engineering has tremendous tonal advantages over solid state or DSP solutions, particularly for crunch and lead sounds. Tubes enter the saturation zone gradually or softly, which lends tube-driven tone its trademark yet totally unique character.
