The Ibanez PIA in Onyx Black is the ultimate expression of Steve Vai’s vision — a world-class performance instrument that blends elite playability, striking design, and uncompromising tone. Finished in deep Onyx Black Satin with gold hardware, it delivers a bold, premium look that’s instantly recognizable on any stage.
A rock-solid 5-piece maple/walnut neck and 25.5" scale provide exceptional clarity, stability, and speed, while the rosewood fingerboard with the iconic PIA Blossom inlay adds refined visual flair. Jumbo stainless steel frets with Prestige fret edge treatment and scalloped frets from 21–24 make high-register bends, legato, and tapping effortless.
The custom DiMarzio UtoPIA pickup set is voiced to Steve Vai’s exact preferences, delivering smooth highs, scooped mids, and a powerful low end that excels from pristine cleans to soaring leads and saturated gain. The Edge tremolo offers legendary tuning stability, while the push/pull high-pass filter keeps your tone clear and articulate at any volume.
Premium features like Luminlay side dots, Gotoh machine heads, the sculpted Petal Grip, and a magnetic trem cavity plate complete this meticulously designed instrument.
If you’re looking for a true flagship guitar with elite feel, limitless expression, and unmistakable style, the Ibanez PIA in Onyx Black delivers inspiration every time you pick it up.
