Crafting Your Guitar Tone with Steve Vai

Ibanez

collapse expand iconDescription

The Ibanez Steve Vai PIA3761 signature electric guitar is the result of Vai's vision to create an instrument that captures the thrill of his legendary JEM models while incorporating exciting new features. After 33 years of collaboration, Vai and Ibanez have crafted a guitar he calls "the next evolution of the JEM." The PIA3761 offers unparalleled tone and playability for shredding virtuosos and rock guitarists alike.

Revolutionary Petal Grip and PIA Blossom Inlay

The PIA3761 is a work of art, from its sculpted alder body to distinctive gold hardware. Its eye-catching petal grip and PIA blossom inlay, designed by the legendary guitarist himself, represent the synergy between artist and instrument that gives rise to something greater than the sum of its parts. The petal grip offers a balanced, contemporary aesthetic and symbolizes the unity between Vai and Ibanez in realizing this vision.

Blistering Tone From DiMarzio UtoPIA Pickups

The PIA3761 is loaded with a trio of DiMarzio UtoPIA pickups voiced to Vai's specifications, with enhanced lows, scooped mids and smooth highs. The neck humbucker produces a warm, rich tone, while the bridge humbucker snarls with enhanced midrange for searing lead lines. The single-coil middle pickup provides traditional Strat-like spank.

PIA 5-Piece Maple and Walnut Neck

The Steve Vai PIA3761 electric guitar features a 5-piece maple and walnut neck, and rosewood fretboard, for outstanding stability, articulation and sustain. Its Prestige fret edge treatment provides a silky-smooth feel for fluid playing. The slim, flat PIA neck and jumbo frets give the PIA3761 a familiar feel for shredders and effortless playability.

High-Performance Edge Tremolo Bridge

The PIA3761's Edge tremolo bridge was designed for the fast response and radical pitch bends Vai demands. Its stud lock function provides extreme stability for dive bombs and flutters. The Lion's Claw tremolo cavity allows for adjusting the tremolo system and changing strings with ease.

    Now, it's obviously my main guitar. Off the charts in quality. It set up easily to Eb. Full confidence at every note. Best floating tremolo I've ever played.

  • The best guitar on the entire planet!

    Ibanez PIA, it is the best guitar I have played in my life, the guitar plays sensational, it is very versatile, it has an incomparable beauty, no photograph does justice in person. The heroine of this story is Sarah Hance, the best mentor, she has the patience and dedication to guide you. If you buy this guitar you will never regret it, it stays in tune like rock. The only detail that I did not like was its case was damaged and a little uneven, but Sarah responded for the damage.

  • Yes I will again

    I won`t rebuy this guitar only because of the price. It`s an excellent guitar indeed, I couldn`t stop playing it. Even though I struggled a little with mine setting the appropriate tension balance between the strings and the Ibanez Edge tremolo system, eventually the guitar is now able to STAY IN TUNE!!! I personally prefer to tighten the screws from the side of the springs, hence I would need to loosen the strings first, then tune it again later.

    Honestly, this was absolutely worth the wait and I may have to order a white one next, I just did a little look into the case when it arrived and all I was able tk say was omg the design. Picked it up and it just felt oh so perfect in my hands, there are a few cons but nothing too serious

  • Stunning
