Details
The Ibanez EP5-BP Steve Vai Signature Model features a Nyatoh neck for a rich mid-low end and a Cultured Maple fretboard and bridge that offer enhanced stability, smooth feel, and a fat, consistent tone. Its Solid Engelmann Spruce top delivers a vibrant tonal character with rich mids and superior articulation, while the Okoume back and sides produce warm, woody tones when finger-picked and punchy high-mids with clear projection when strummed. The Fishman® S-Core pickup ensures accurate sound reproduction, and the AEQ21TF preamp adds onboard EQ and a digital tuner. Advantage™ bridge pins provide secure string retention and easy handling.
