Ibanez Acoustic-Electric (Black Pearl) EP5

The Ibanez Steve Vai Euphoria Series EP5 is an electric/acoustic guitar with a special thin EP body and a black pearl high-gloss finish. Its top is constructed out of Englemann spruce, while its back, sides, and 25.6" scale neck are fashioned out of mahogany. A cultured maple fingerboard sports 20 frets and a single Vai signature inlay at the 12th fret. The bridge is also fashioned out of cultured maple. For electronics, this guitar utilizes a Fishman Sonicore pickup and an Ibanez AEQ210TF preamp with tone controls, an onboard tuner, and a phase switch. Gold die-cast tuners with acrylic half-moon knobs adorn the headstock, and Ibanez Advantage bridge pins are used in the bridge.
