Nonsense. Before Steve Vai had an Ibanez, he was shredding on a Fender Strat.
In fact, alot of early Vai material is done on a Fender Strat. It was his first guitar. He played it in Zappa and right up to the Roth albums.
He also played Jacksons.

Yngwie had no problems playing fast on a Fender Strat. Blackmore and Uli ROth also shredded on Fender Strats,

There is no comparison between a 62 Fender Strat and an Ibanez, sorry..it's all in how you set up the guitar.
