Ibanez Steve Vai Signature PIA3761 Prestige - Stallion White

The Regal Crown Jewel of Modern High-Performance Virtuosity

The Ibanez PIA3761 in Stallion White is the ultimate aesthetic and performance realization of Steve Vai’s vision, capturing the iconic white-and-gold legacy of the legendary JEM and evolving it into a modern work of art. Master-built in Japan, the PIA features a contoured Alder body offset by Steve’s signature Petal Grip—an organic, balanced body relief that offers effortless handling while making an indelible statement under stage lights.

Driven by custom DiMarzio UtoPIA pickups with gold laser-cut floral covers, the PIA3761 provides surgical dynamic clarity. The ceramic bridge and neck humbuckers deliver a tight low-end, muscular mid-range punch, and singing high-frequency sustain, while the Alnico middle single-coil yields glassy, noise-free clean tones. Equipped with a push/pull high-pass filter on the volume control, your high frequencies remain sparkling and intact even when rolling back volume levels for delicate dynamic passages.

Designed for total expressive freedom, the 5-piece Maple/Walnut PIA neck is topped with a bound Rosewood fingerboard showcasing the elaborate PIA Blossom inlay. Frets 21 through 24 feature custom scalloping for effortless high-register bending, vibrato, and rapid tapping lines. Anchored by gold hardware, the legendary Gotoh Edge tremolo with a carbon fiber arm, and a magnetic rear tremolo cavity cover for rapid setup adjustments, the PIA3761 Stallion White represents the pinnacle of Japanese lutherie.
