Virtuoso signature guitar with Sustainiac and high-performance tremolo
With the Ibanez Joe Satriani JS2480-WH White, Ibanez is sending a particularly chic interpretation of the popular signature guitar of the virtuoso New Yorker string magician into the race, who has not only achieved countless successes as a solo artist, but also as the organiser of the legendary G3 tours and member of the rock supergroup Chickenfoot. With a bright red finish, the usual agile playing characteristics of the slim maple neck and the sustain-rich sounds of the Sustainiac and DiMarzio pickups, the Ibanez JS2480 is the perfect electric guitar for classic rock riffs and accomplished solo playing.
The Ibanez Joe Satriani JS2480-WH White not only impresses with its first-class playing characteristics, but also with its multifaceted sounds and professional hardware equipment.
First-class playing characteristics
The JS2480 WhiteSignature guitar is naturally based on the streamlined radius design, which features subtle modifications inspired by Joe Satriani in key areas. Thanks to the strongly rounded shape, the basswood body sits comfortably against the body both sitting and standing. Wide cutaways and the bevelled neck foot also allow easy access to the high positions of the bolt-on maple bubinga neck, which, with its slim JS profile and the full two-octave range of the 24-fret rosewood fingerboard, offers the best conditions for virtuoso soloing with classical and modern playing techniques.
The DiMarzio Satchur8 humbucker on the bridge and the Sustainiac Driver in the neck position provide an extensive sound palette with almost endless sustain.
Joe Satriani Signature pickups from DiMarzio
A sophisticated pickup setup with a DiMarzio humbucker and a Sustainiac pickup is responsible for the electrical sound conversion of the JS2480 Joe Satriani Signature guitar. By using exceptionally powerful Alnico VIII magnets, the DiMarzio Satchur8 bridge humbucker has enough output to drive any guitar amplifier into saturation and elicit a smooth Distortion with a rich midrange spectrum that is ideal for fluid solo playing. The innovativeSustainiac driver in the neck position, on the other hand, not only impresses with a solid single coil sound, but also extends the sustain for long notes and chords if desired. Ibanez also equips the electric guitar with a switchable high-pass filter, which can be used to reduce the bass for a particularly defined and assertive sound.
Gotoh tuners promise precise tuning of the Ibanez JS2410 Signature guitar.
Professional hardware equipment
Of course, Ibanez completes Joe Satriani's JS2480-WH WhiteSignature guitar with professional hardware equipment that impresses with its outstanding reliability and functionality. The bridge used here is the Ibanez Edge Tremolo with Ultralite trem arm made of carbon. The well-known system not only impresses with its direct response and butter-smooth handling, but also with its unshakeable tuning stability even after the most unrestrained whammy bar actions thanks to the double-locking construction with clamp saddle on the headstock. Gotoh die-cast tuners on the headstock, which is painted to match the rest of the guitar, ensure unrivalled tuning precision.
