EP9 - Steve Vai

"The thing I like the most about the new EP9 is its user-friendly nature. It's built for versatility to accommodate the style preference of most any player. The anti-feedback option and equalization parameters of the Fishman®Aura™ System are truly an evolution in amplified acoustic guitar design. It's quite stunning how well it works, actually. The elements of the solid spruce top, mahogany neck, and the solid mahogany back and sides offer supreme sound quality, but let's not forget the most important thing... it looks as delicious as it sounds and feels."–Steve Vai

Steve Vai named this guitar "Euphoria" for good reason. The EP9 is as enigmatic and expressive as Steve Vai himself, able to morph tones, play like a dream and open the paths of acoustic creativity.

FEATURES CLICK TO ENLARGE


	The unique Fishman® Onboard Aura™ features six selectable Acoustic Sound Images. Each image was created using the EP9 and a different top-shelf microphone so that the great tones of the EP9 can be reproduced in any venue. These sounds can be blended easily with the standard pickup. The Aura also includes a programmable active 3-band EQ, anti-feedback control, onboard tuner and more.

	Ivorex II nut is stronger and more durable than bone and even harder than the original Ivorex. Ivorex II nut allows brilliant highs and more pronounced lows with less mid-range which makes Ivorex II-fitted guitars perfect for amplification.
