Steve Vai PIA Guitars

The Ibanez PIA (meaning Paradise In Art) is the result of another fruitful collaboration between Ibanez and Steve Vai. 

It's immediately apparent that this ornate instrument is an evolved version of the Vai’s familiar JEM series of instruments. For the PIA, Ibanez have tweaked a number of features to elevate it to new creative heights.

The solid Alder body features a renewed take on Vai’s signature handhold feature, while the Rosewood fretboard boasts a beautiful multi-coloured blossom inlay. 

Arguably the headline feature is an HSH set of new DiMarzio UtoPIA pickups. These have been specially voiced by Vai and DiMarzio to offer a smoother treble response and a more pronounced low-end - pristine modern tones. DiMarzio have also added a distinct finish to the pickups, perfectly complementing the guitar's vibrant aesthetic. 

Ibanez's Edge tremolo bridge is combined with the groundbreaking Lion's Claw tremolo cavity. This allows for rapid vibrato with dramatic pitch range - no limits to your expression. 

The PIA range represents the culmination of a working relationship between Vai and Ibanez that spans over 3 decades - the ultimate Vai signature model, and a first-class performance instrument in every sense.
