Ibanez JS2480 Joe Satriani Signature Guitar in Muscle Car Red with Hardcase

The Ibanez JS2480 is a signature electric guitar developed in collaboration with virtuoso guitarist Joe Satriani. It is designed as a high-performance instrument that combines distinctive aesthetics with advanced playability and versatile electronics. This model represents one of the latest iterations in the long-standing partnership between the artist and the brand, aimed at delivering both stage presence and studio-ready tonal flexibility. The guitar features a Basswood body, chosen for its lightweight and ergonomic properties, which contributes to a balanced and flat acoustic response ideal for tone shaping. The neck is constructed from a three-piece Maple and Bubinga combination, offering enhanced durability and a smooth playing feel, paired with a Rosewood fretboard that adds warmth to the sound. Key hardware includes the JS/Edge tremolo system, 24 medium frets, and a 25.5-inch scale length for precise intonation. The electronics are particularly notable, featuring a DiMarzio Satchur8 humbucker pickup at the bridge for a full, fat tone across all frequencies, and a Sustainiac driver pickup at the neck for creating infinite sustain and violin-like harmonics, selectable via a three-way switch. This guitar is well-suited for professional musicians and serious enthusiasts who require a versatile instrument capable of handling everything from clean, articulate passages to high-gain lead work. The inclusion of practical features like a high-pass filter integrated into the volume control helps maintain high-end clarity at lower volumes, while the distinctive Muscle Car Red finish ensures it stands out visually. It arrives complete with a protective hardcase, making it ready for both home use and touring.
