DiMarzio DP-289FSGBK UtoPIA F-Spaced Satin Gold/Black

Designed for the Ibanez PIA guitar, Steve Vai's signature model, the UtoPIA bridge pickup features a custom laser-cut baroque-style cover over a layer with a gold pattern.

Based on the Evolution bridge pickup, the UtoPIA is crafted to enhance the bass response of the guitar while adding body and presence to the treble frequencies. The challenge was to preserve the characteristic harmonics of the Evolution. The mid-high frequencies are also attenuated to achieve a less aggressive attack and greater control. The UtoPIA delivers powerful, defined bass, high output, and rich, full treble tones.
