As one of the most spotlight-ready solidbody electric guitars in our Guitar Gallery, the Ibanez Joe Satriani Signature JS1GD strikes gold with a light-catching Gold Boy finish and gleaming gold-plated hardware. This Japanese-built, bullion-emblazoned axe plays like a dream, thanks to its aerodynamic alder body, 3-piece JS Prestige neck, and fast-playing 24-fret rosewood fingerboard. Electronics-wise, the JS1GDs DiMarzio Satchur8 bridge humbucker dishes out smooth, articulate leads and authoritative chord work, while a Sustainiac circuit delivers infinite sustain and thick feedback with the flip of a switch. You also get a built-in highpass filter that helps you cut through the mix when you roll back your volume knob. The JS1GDs high-end complement of shred-sanctioned hardware includes an original Edge double-locking tremolo with an Ultralite trem arm, Gotoh machine heads, and Gotoh knurled metal dome knobs. Indeed, the Ibanez JS1GD offers Satch aficionados a super-colossal souvenir with pliable playability and spellbinding sonic capabilities.
Fast JS Prestige neck
Youll find that the JS Prestige neck on the JS1GD gives you a solid fretting foundation while allowing you to ramp up your playing to maximum warp. The just-right feel provided by this neck encourages lightning-fast runs, arpeggios, and hammer-ons, and its 3-piece maple-and-bubinga construction offers more rigidity and greater vibration transfer than a traditional 1-piece neck. Capping the neck is a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard, loaded with medium-sized nickel-silver frets that offer an amazingly fluid feel. Furthermore, the feel of this neck is enhanced by Ibanezs Prestige fret-edge treatment, an extra step to ensure maximum playing comfort and long-term playability. This process essentially rounds the fret ends much more precisely than is possible by hand filing.
Sonically spellbinding electronics
The Ibanez JS1GDs DiMarzio Satchur8 bridge humbucker produces an endless assortment of tones, from articulate high-gain legato lines to pristinely clean arpeggios ideal for an artist like Joe who regularly runs the tonal gamut. At the neck, a single-coil Sustainiac driver enables you to harness intense, predictable, infinite feedback sustain on demand. A push-pull switch on the JS1GDs tone knob activates the Sustainiac circuit, and you also get a 3-way toggle that selects between Harmonic, Normal, and Mixed sustain modes. To top it off, the volume pots built-in highpass filter cleans up your tone and enables the JS1GD to easily cut through even the busiest of mixes.
Original Edge double-locking tremolo
The JS1GD comes equipped with Ibanezs original Edge tremolo, which many guitarists consider one of the finest locking trems ever built. Numerous guitarists here share the same enthusiasm for the original Edge, which weve been using and abusing since its 1986 unveiling. Regardless of your preferences, were confident that youll find the JS1GDs Edge to be among the most reliable double-locking trems youll ever use. You can pull the bar all the way up, then slam it down to the body as much as you want; follow it up with a rich jazzy chord voicing, and itll stay perfectly in tune. The JS1GD also features Joe Satrianis preferred Ultralite tremolo arm, which has a thicker carbon graphite grip for extra durability and fine-tuned trem control.
