Designed in collaboration with legendary guitarist Steve Vai, the Ibanez PIA represents the next evolution of one of the most iconic signature guitars ever created. Rather than replacing the legendary JEM, the PIA refines its foundation with elegant new aesthetics, enhanced ergonomics, and an updated tonal palette. Built in Japan to Prestige standards, it combines flawless craftsmanship, premium materials, and exceptional playability for players who demand uncompromising performance on stage and in the studio.
The lightweight alder body is paired with a fast 5-piece maple and walnut neck, while the rosewood fingerboard features the striking PIA Blossom inlays, luminous side dots, and a scalloped upper register from the 21st to 24th frets for effortless bends and expressive lead playing. Jumbo stainless steel frets with Prestige fret edge treatment provide exceptional durability and a smooth, broken-in feel right out of the case.
At the heart of the PIA is a trio of DiMarzio UtoPIA™ pickups, custom voiced to Steve Vai's latest tonal preferences. They deliver smooth highs, tight lows, and balanced mids, offering everything from shimmering cleans to articulate high-gain leads with outstanding clarity. Combined with the legendary Edge tremolo and innovative Lion's Claw tremolo cavity, the PIA offers remarkable tuning stability and an incredibly wide range of expressive vibrato techniques.
Exclusive appointments such as the elegant Petal Grip, magnetic tremolo cavity cover, premium Gotoh tuning machines, gold hardware, and the lightweight Ultralite Tremolo Arm complete an instrument that is as visually stunning as it is inspiring to play.
Whether you're a Steve Vai fan, a progressive rock guitarist, or simply searching for one of the finest Japanese-made electric guitars available, the Ibanez PIA delivers world-class tone, comfort, and precision in every detail.
