Ibanez Steve Vai Signature PIA Electric Guitar in Blue Powder

The Ibanez PIA (Paradise In Art) is a signature electric guitar developed in collaboration with virtuoso guitarist Steve Vai. Representing an evolution of his long-standing JEM series, this instrument is designed as a high-performance tool for creative expression. It features a solid alder body with Vai's signature handhold, a distinctive floral aesthetic, and premium hardware throughout, making it both a visual and functional statement piece for serious players. Key technical features include a versatile H/S/H pickup configuration using specially-voiced DiMarzio UtoPIA humbuckers and a single-coil, which are designed to deliver a smoother treble response and pronounced low-end for modern, articulate tones. The guitar is equipped with Ibanez's reliable Edge locking tremolo system, paired with the innovative 'Lion's Claw' cavity routing for extreme pitch range and stable return to tuning. The neck is a 5-piece construction of maple and walnut with a refined PIA profile and a rosewood fingerboard featuring 24 jumbo stainless steel frets and scalloping on the highest frets for advanced playing techniques. This guitar is ideally suited for professional musicians and dedicated enthusiasts who require a versatile, reliable instrument capable of handling complex technical playing across various genres, from rock and metal to fusion. The inclusion of a push/pull high-pass filter on the volume control adds tonal flexibility, while the Luminlay side dots and Prestige fret edge treatment enhance playability in all lighting conditions. It arrives complete with a hardshell case, factory-fitted with D'Addario EXL120 strings, ready for immediate setup and performance.
