Ibanez Steve Vai PIA3761 Electric Guitar – Onyx Black (B-Stock, Made in Japan)

The Ibanez Steve Vai PIA3761 represents the evolution of Steve Vai’s legendary signature line, combining bold aesthetics, flawless Japanese craftsmanship, and uncompromising performance. Finished in striking Onyx Black, this guitar is built for players who demand precision, expression, and stage-ready presence.

This is a B-Stock instrument, meaning it may show minor cosmetic blemishes (please see the last few pictures for the details of the blemishes), but is fully functional and performs to Ibanez’s exacting standards. A hard case is included for maximum protection.

PIA Neck & Alder Body Construction

At the heart of the PIA3761 is a lightning-fast 5-piece Maple/Walnut PIA neck, delivering exceptional stability, smooth response, and rock-solid tuning. The alder body provides a balanced tonal foundation with tight lows, clear mids, and articulate highs—perfect for Vai’s wide dynamic range.

Rosewood Fingerboard with PIA Blossom Inlays

The rosewood fretboard adds warmth and clarity, while the elegant PIA Blossom inlays offer a refined visual signature unique to this model. Equipped with 24 jumbo stainless steel frets and Prestige fret edge treatment, the PIA delivers ultra-smooth playability and long-lasting fret life.

DiMarzio UtoPIA™ Pickup Configuration

A custom DiMarzio UtoPIA™ H-S-H pickup set provides enormous tonal flexibility. From fluid legato leads and harmonically rich solos to tight rhythm tones and shimmering cleans, this pickup configuration is engineered to capture Steve Vai’s expressive voice across every playing style.

Edge Tremolo & Premium Hardware

The iconic Ibanez Edge tremolo bridge offers exceptional tuning stability, smooth action, and precise control for dive bombs, flutters, and subtle vibrato. Finished with elegant gold hardware and a reliable locking nut, the PIA3761 is built for demanding performance situations.
