Inspired and designed by guitar virtuoso Steve Vai, the EP offers warm, lively, and even tones of an acoustic in a thinner package that even the most ardent electric players can feel at home on.
****Product Features****
- Nyatoh neck The 3pc Nyatoh/Maple Neck provides a rich mid-low end.
- Cultured Maple fretboard Cultured Maple is an engineered tonewood made up of Maple and epoxy. By mixing and compressing with epoxy resin, the wood becomes stronger and more stable, and offers a smooth feel and a solid, yet fat, sound with no dead points on the fretboard.
- Solid Engelmann Spruce top Solid Engelmann Spruce features a rich mid-range and a vibrant tonal character with superior articulation.
- Okoume back and sides The Okoume back and sides generate a woody, warm tone when the guitar is played softly or finger-picked and provide punchy high-mids with a clear projection when strummed.
- Fishman® Sonicore pickup The Fishman® Sonicore pickup accurately translates a full guitar sound to whatever amplification system you plug into.
- Ibanez AEQ210TF preamp w/Onboard tuner AEQ210TF preamp provides the extra punch of on-board EQ, and the convenience of an easy-to-read digital tuner.
- Cultured Maple bridge The Cultured Maple bridge transfers string vibration directly to the body, delivering a natural and warm tone.
- Ibanez Advantage™ bridge pins These pins really are an advantage over old-fashioned pins. Advantage™ pins are easier to take out and easier to put in than standard pins. A special bulb-shaped end makes the pin easy to grip and also prevents the pin from being pushed in too far. Best of all, with Advantage™ the pin and string stay put.
