One of the most influential and respected instrumental rock guitarists to emerge in the past three decades, Joe Satriani is that rare "musician's musician" who's crossed over into the mainstream with music sublime and complex, appealing to a wide variety of tastes.
A true master of the six-string, Satriani worked as a guitar teacher in his early career, with a number of his students-among them Steve Vai, Kirk Hammett (Metallica), Larry LaLonde, David Bryson (Counting Crows), Charlie Hunter and more-achieving their own considerable successes.
The Ibanez JS2GD features Maple neck provides stability and bright tonal character. Rosewood fretboard provides a well-balanced solid tone with a focused mid range. The Alder body delivers a well-balanced bright tone, enriched resonance and sustain. The DiMarzio® Satch Track™ is Joe's first single-coil size signature pickup. Combined with FRED®, they offer focused sound and great versatility. Gotoh® machine heads provide super precision, smooth feel, and minimal back lush. The masterpiece Edge bridge offers exceptional tuning stability, precise intonation adjustment, and playing comfort. A high pass filter on the volume pot maintains highs at low volumes. The push/pull coil tap adds sound and tonal variations for pickups. The Ultralite Tremolo Arm™ achieved a significant reduction in weight by utilizing Carbon Graphite for the grip, resulting in less interaction with strings and more sensitive control of the tremolo arm movement.
"With 24 frets, a deeper cutaway, and my Mo' Joe and Satch Track pickup combination, these guitars are liberating to play. I love the new JS models." - Joe Satriani.
