Up for sale, a 2020 Ibanez Steve Vai signature model PIA3761 “Paradise in Art” in near-mint condition, finished in Sun Dew Gold (first year only custom color) and complete with the original hardshell case, paperwork, and case candy. Replete with top-tier componentry and premium features designed for maximum playability, this Paradise in Art model continues the legacy of decades of Ibanez/Vai signature models.
Tonewoods include an alder body, five-piece maple/walnut neck, and slab rosewood fretboard. Designed with Vai specifically for the PIA guitars, the high output UtoPIA humbuckers in the bridge and neck position expand on DiMarzio’s Evolution pickups, offering a focused low-end response while adding thickness and body to the top end. All the Evolution’s harmonic content is present, and the upper midrange is dialed back slightly for control and articulation. The UtoPIA Middle single coil is designed to complement the humbuckers (tapped at positions 2 and 4), delivering plenty of sparkle and snap. This PIA3761 weighs 8lbs 6oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, slinky action, and accurate intonation.
