7 string PIA anyone?

[Leviathus]

Few more pics from Steve's site. Description reads "This is the #1 7 String Onyx Pia"...

I want it. And I don’t even like necks that thin.

<3 black + gold

Man. Whatever they did to the upper horn of the Pia’s just really makes these look even better than the normal Jem/UV/RG body. It might just be the way the petal cutaway flows, but the upper horn looks straighter and sleeker. Kind of RGDish.

A subtle change, but it really adds something for me.

So is that MIJ Custom Shop or LACS?

I would have loved it so much WITHOUT the pickup covers...

There are too many good guitars at the minute and they're eating into my house fund

Wanking over this one... that's pure porn!

Nonetheless, I doubt it will ever see production. If so, grab them! They will be limited runs and will become highly collectible items!

If/ when they make this a production model I am all over it. It looks awesome

 

[lurè]

Too much gold hardware on the body for me

 

[DiezelMonster]

If they make a production version it will be $6500 in Canada. Boo

This is fuckin awesome though.

That’s an Ebony board tho. Unless it’s the darkest moistest piece of rosewood ever that’s was then stained/polished.

Edit: NVM I really zoomed in and saw the grain. Just a juicy board then.

I’d buy one of these in the other Pia colors, easily. 10/10, since Ibanez won’t reissue the Universe series.

 

[Sebastian]

That's classy! Would definitely like to play that!

 

[CanserDYI]

I always see PIA as "pain in ass". Lol

Black for the PIA7 would be the smart way to go IMHO, as it would probably appeal to more metal dudes. The Vai guys/collectors will buy any color.

In theory, but most of the Vai guys didn’t even buy the 7V7. I think I’ve seen maybe 3-4 out there on the internet. The black Pia might be more appealing, but it’s still rather elegant in the context of metal.

I actually had a 7V7 and sold it for like $2k. Sheesh. Not sure which is worse. That or selling a Rackmount SLO for $2.5k. Or a C+ for $2.5k right before COVID. I'm so bad at this gear stuff.

I feel the exact opposite way.

The changes to the body shape are why I don’t own a bunch of PIAs to go with my bunch of JEMs. The new colours are amazing, but to me, the guitar now just looks like it melted in the heat

I kind of feel the same, I prefer the edges of the RG/Jem better, but these new cut-outs are nice, aesthetically better than the monkey grip, which I think is lame...
