Ibanez Steve Vai Signature Pia Onyx Black

Guitar legend Steve Vai and Ibanez have strived to conceive the ultimate guitar vision together for over 30 years. Vai's signature Jem has gone on to be one of Ibanez's top-selling guitars and has slowly evolved over the years with acute changes and upgrades, but with the Pia, Steve has fully embraced change and has evolved the Jem into a completely new model with a full line up of exclusive features.

PIA Blossom inlay

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

Petal Grip

Exclusively designed for the PIA, the new Petal Grip offers a balanced, contemporary design aesthetic. It’s 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.
