Designed for Steve Vai’s
signature Ibanez PIA guitar, the UtoPIA Bridge pickup features a
custom, laser cut baroque style cover over a gold patterned layer.
Using
the Evolution Bridge as the basic platform, the UtoPIA Bridge was
designed to focus more on the low-end response of the guitar while
adding thickness and body to the top end. The challenge was to still
deliver the harmonics for which the Evolution is known. Upper midrange
frequencies were also dialed back to produce a less aggressive attack
and provide more control. The UtoPIA Bridge boasts a big, bold low end,
high output, and thick top end.
Available in F-spacing only.
A
perfect choice for bright guitars that favor an upper midrange peak,
the UtoPIA Bridge will level out uneven frequencies. Great for
coil-splitting in combination with the UtoPIA Middle.
