The PIA3761C is a PIA series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2022. It is a signature model of American guitarist Steve Vai. It is produced in Japan by FujiGen.

The PIA3761C features an alder body bolted to a maple and walnut neck with a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with pearl and abalone PIA blossom vine inlays and Luminlay side dots. As with the previous JEM7V, the last four frets are scalloped. Components include new DiMarzio UtoPIA pickups mounted in a pickguard with a pair of humbuckers with decorative covers flanking a single-coil, an Edge double locking tremolo bridge with an UltraLite arm, an angled output jack, Gotoh tuning machines, and a magnetic tremolo cavity plate.

The PIA3761 is a similar model with gold hardware and different finishes.
