Description
Renowned for his incredible virtuosity and highly technical playing, Steve Vai has pushed the boundaries of what we once thought was capable for guitarists. The Ibanez PIA3761 Steve Vai Signature was designed in collaboration with Vai himself, and as a result, it's an astounding instrument. From its powerful DiMarzio pickups to its ergonomic design and stunning aesthetic appointments, this axe is one of the most versatile guitars we've ever had in our shop.
Built to offer an impeccable playing experience, this guitar sports one of the fastest necks Ibanez has ever designed. Its 5-piece PIA neck is ultra-slim, allowing you to pull off blazing solos and sweep-style arpeggio runs with ease, but it still has the substance needed to make chording effortless. It also features a Prestige fret-end treatment that precisely rounds off the edges of each fret, making the rosewood fretboard feel remarkably smooth and fluid.
The HSH pickup configuration has long been a favorite for those who desire unparalleled tonal versatility. That's why the PIA3761 Steve Vai Signature has a trio of DiMarzio UtoPIA pickups that can churn out nearly any tone imaginable. The neck humbucker pumps out a rich and warm tone, while the bridge humbucker is bright and snarling. Between the two is a chiming, high-output single-coil pickup that chimes and spanks like nothing you've heard before. Mix these pickups together via the 5-way blade pickup switch, adjust the tone knob, and you'll find that no matter how you set it, this guitar sounds terrific.
Perhaps the coolest feature on the PIA3761 is its super-modern Edge tremolo. This tremolo was designed to give you a lightning-fast response, allowing you to pull off quick flutters and sharp bends without fighting your guitar. It also offers exceptional tuning stability, courtesy of its new and improved stud lock function and Lion's Claw tremolo cavity.
Not only does this Ibanez Steve Vai Signature sound great and play wonderfully, but it looks drop-dead gorgeous. With its shiny hardware, ornate pickup covers, stunning fingerboard inlay, petal grip cutout, and striking Blue Powder finish, this guitar is as much an art piece as it is a premium instrument. If you're in the market for one of the most versatile guitars ever built, you need to check out the Ibanez PIA3761 Steve Vai Signature. It offers the absolute best in sound, performance, and style.
