The newly designed PIA Blossom inlay is gorgeous, prominent, and elegantly imparts Steve Vai's trademark style and artistic vision. Exclusively designed for the PIA, the new Petal Grip offers a balanced, contemporary design aesthetic. It's also meant to symbolize unity, companionship, and interpersonal bonds. Based on Steve's latest tonal preferences, DiMarzio UtoPIA pickups are voiced for smoother highs, more scooped mids, and more pronounced low-end. The pickups incorporate beautiful aesthetics and design elements meant to complement the cosmetic features of the guitar. The Edge tremolo bridge and groundbreaking Lions Claw tremolo cavity allow for rapidly increasing and lowering pitch with dramatic range and an intense voice. The tremolo cavity plate is held in place magnetically, allowing for quick removal and reinstallation when changing strings or adjusting the tremolo system.
