Ibanez PIA3761 Steve Vai Signature Stallion White

Description

***EXCLUSIVE AT BLOOR STREET***

The PIA is a new signature guitar coming out of the highly successful collaboration between Steve Vai and Ibanez. The PIA, as Steve explains it, does not replace the GEM, but is essentially an evolution of that guitar. New design features include the PIA blossom inlay, new "Petal" grip, groundbreaking Lion's Claw tremolo cavity, and DiMarzio® UtoPIA™ pickups.

"Some guitars are built for performance, some for aesthetic. These instruments are the best of both worlds... and perhaps the universe!"

PIA Blossom inlay
The newly designed PIA Blossom inlay is gorgeous, prominent, and elegantly imparts Steve Vais trademark style and artistic vision.

Petal grip
Exclusively designed for the PIA, the new Petal Grip offers a balanced, contemporary design aesthetic. Its also meant to symbolize unity, companionship, and interpersonal bonds.

DiMarzio® UtoPIA™ pickups
Based on Steve's latest tonal preferences, DiMarzio® UtoPIA™ pickups are voiced for smoother highs, more scooped mids, and more pronounced low-end. The pickups incorporate beautiful aesthetics and design elements meant to complement the cosmetic features of the guitar.

Edge Tremolo
The Edge tremolo bridge and groundbreaking Lion's Claw tremolo cavity allow for rapidly increasing and lowering pitch with dramatic range and an intense voice.

Magnetic Tremolo Cavity Plate
The tremolo cavity plate is held in place magnetically, allowing for quick removal and reinstallation when changing strings or adjusting the tremolo system.
