The Ibanez Steve Vai Signature PIA 77 Brilliance of Now electric guitar comes 33 years after the release of the iconic Ibanez JEM. Steve Vai describes his Ibanez Signature PIA 77 as “the next evolution of the JEM.” The Ibanez Brilliance of Now electric guitar exceeds all expectations, and Vai has deemed it “paradise in art.”
The Ibanez PIA Steve Vai Signature electric features a 5-piece maple/walnut neck that provides tonal clarity and superior attack. The rosewood fretboard provides a well-balanced solid tone with a focused midrange. The jumbo stainless-steel frets feature the Prestige fret edge treatment that guarantees effortlessly fast playing. Stainless-steel frets boast excellent corrosion resistance. The wide and tall fret-type offers a quick response, good articulation when playing chords, and clear tone when playing single notes. The fingerboard is also scalloped on the 21-24 frets for easier high note bending and tapping.
The Steve Vai Signature PIA 77 is equipped with DiMarzio UtoPIA pickups. Based on Vai's tonal preferences, DiMarzio UtoPIA pickups are voiced for smoother highs, scooped mids and a more pronounced low-end. DiMarzio UtoPIA pickups incorporate beautiful aesthetics and design elements meant to complement the cosmetic features of the guitar. A high pass filter on the volume pot maintains highs at low volumes.
Other features include Gotoh machine heads that provide superior precision, a smooth feel and excellent tuning accuracy. The legendary Lo-Pro Edge tremolo bridge offers maximum playing comfort with its streamlined profile and recessed fine tuners. The Ultralite Tremolo Arm also been significantly reduced in weight by utilizing carbon graphite for the grip, resulting in less interaction with strings and more sensitive control of the tremolo arm movement. Locking studs contribute to tuning stability, and the Luminlay side dot position marks make it easy for players to see fretboard position marks when performing on dark stages.
The Steve Vai Signature PIA 77 also features a Petal Grip — exclusively designed for the PIA. The Petal Grip offers a balanced, contemporary design aesthetic, and is also meant to symbolize unity, companionship, and interpersonal bonds. The tremolo cavity plate is held in place magnetically, allowing for quick removal and reinstallation when changing strings or adjusting the tremolo system.
Ibanez hardshell case is included to provide extreme protection for your instrument.
