The Ibanez PIA3761 in detail
About Steve Vai
Steve Vai doesn't really need any introduction, he should actually be known to every ambitious electric guitarist. Whether in his legendary stints as Frank Zappa's guitarist for special sounds and solos, in his time alongside Whitesnake and David Lee Roth, through to contributions to various soundtracks and an extremely successful solo career, Steve Vai, born in New York in 1960, has the Redefined the limits of the electric guitar - if there are any limits at all for him. Even today, Steve is still very busy and doesn't shy away from any musical challenges. His collaboration with Ibanez also resulted in some of the most successful signature guitars of all time.
The successor to JEM
The Ibanez PIA3761 is the successor and further development of the popular JEM, which is also a Steve Vai signature model . At first glance, both models look very similar. The PIA adopts the Modern ST body made of alder, the HSH pickup equipment, and the Floyd Rose vibrato system. However, the fine details differ, such as the "carrying strap" inspired by the symbol for ying and yang, the design of the pickups and the PIA Blossom fingerboard inlay inspired by the Tree of Life inlay , or the magnetic backplate that still makes it look like this no other electric guitar has ever given. In the video on the right, Steve himself explains the most important features of his signature guitar.

The Japanese instrument manufacturer Ibanez can look back on a long tradition in guitar and bass building. While Ibanez initially stood out with idiosyncratic copies of traditional models from manufacturers such as Gibson and Fender , independent series gradually came onto the market, such as the Iceman, JEM, Artcore and RG. In the 1980s, the manufacturer made a name for itself, especially in the heavy sector, with its instruments that shone with modern features, individual design and excellent playability. Innovations such as the 7- and 8-string guitars, which emerged from the fruitful collaboration with artists such as Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and Meshuggah, did the rest to establish Ibanez 's good reputation. Today the manufacturer offers an extensive range, ranging from entry-level guitars and basses to unusual custom shop models. Ibanez also knows how to impress when it comes to effects devices and amplifier model , as the classic TS9 Tubescreamer proves. With us you will find a comprehensive selection of guitars, basses, amplifiers, effects and accessories from Ibanez.
