Designed for Steve Vai’s
signature Ibanez PIA guitar, the UtoPIA Neck pickup features a custom
laser-cut baroque style cover over a gold patterned layer.
Using
the Evolution Neck as the basic platform, the UtoPIA Neck 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 mid-range
frequencies were also dialed back to produce a less aggressive attack
and provide more control. The UtoPIA Neck boasts a big, bold low end
and thick top end.
Available in F-spacing only.
A
perfect choice for bright guitars that favor an upper mid-range peak,
the UtoPIA Neck will level out uneven frequencies. Great for
coil-splitting in combination with the UtoPIA Middle. The UtoPIA Neck
is also a great choice for the bridge position when looking for
something to balance with a lower output neck pickup.
Recommended For: Neck or Bridge position for all solid body guitars.
