Ibanez PIA 3761 Steve Vai Stallion White

"Some guitars are built for performance, some for aesthetic. These instruments are the best of both worlds ... and perhaps the universe!" There is no better way to describe this impressive guitar than with Steve Vai's own words. The "Ibanez Steve Vai PIA3761-SLW Stallion White Signature" is based on the classic JEM model and has been further improved in terms of performance and design in close cooperation with Steve Vai. The result was a top-class signature guitar that Steve gave the name "Paradise In Art" - PIA for short. Coincidence or intent - "Pia" is also the name of his wife Pia Maiocco, who was bassist for the hard rock band "Vixen" in the 80s.

The "Monkey Grip" common on JEM models had to give way to an aesthetic "Petal Grip" in the Yin / Yang style. The pickups received a new design, which is stylishly continued in the floral fretboard inlay. All-round solid Japanese craftsmanship and a successful look that impressively bears Steve Vai's personal signature.

An alder body with a 5-piece maple / walnut PIA neck and a rosewood fingerboard form the exquisite wood ingredients for the "Ibanez PIA 3761 Steve Vai Stallion White". For optimum playability in the high registers, the fretboard was scalloped from the 21st to the 24th fret. Together with the three powerful DiMarzio UtoPIA pickups in an "H-S-H" configuration, this is the basis for a first-class rock and heavy sound that is entirely in keeping with Steve Vai's tonal taste. Soft and transparent highs, pushing mids and warm and rich bass. A push / pull switch integrated in the volume potentiometer can also be used to activate a high-pass filter. The Ibanez "Edge Locking" tremolo system can handle even the wildest dive bombs without a problem and without losing the intonation.
