In collaboration with legendary guitarist Steve Vai, Ibanez releases a special, extremely limited-edition version of Vai’s renowned PIA signature model. The PIA77BON2 is a seamless joining of meticulous guitar design and inspired artistic vision — all of Vai’s signature specifications, crowned by a breathtaking lace-like, filigree-style finish hand-painted across the front and back of the instrument in real 24-karat gold by master artisan David Bonvillain. Combined with elegant custom pinstriping, each guitar is a genuinely unique, one-of-a-kind piece of art.
“The breathtaking gold flame finish was created by the gifted artist David Bonvillain, whose work transforms this instrument into something that feels alive with motion and energy. To me, a guitar should feel like a trusted creative companion — something that encourages you to reach beyond what you thought possible.” — Steve Vai
