Description

Joe Satriani is one of the world's most influential guitar virtuosos. Emerging in the '80s as the leading instrumental rock guitarist, Satriani's game-changing technical proficiency and incredible ear for tasteful melody-writing makes him a true, living guitar legend.

Throughout his career, the New York-born musician has rarely been seen wielding anything other than one of his signature Ibanez JS Series guitars. This Japanese-crafted JS3CR "Chrome Boy" pays tribute to one of Joe's most iconic instruments — equipped with powerful DiMarzio PAF Pro/Satchur8 pickups and an Edge locking tremolo.

Key Features

• Basswood Body — Delivers a natural and neutral tone that allows the colossal voice of the pickups to shine through.
• 1-Piece Maple Neck — Gives the guitar rigidity and a snappy note response with a bright tonal character.
• Rosewood Fingerboard — Dark and luxurious material offers a silky touch beneath the fingers.
• Medium Frets with Prestige Edge Treatment — Medium-sized frets provide a vintage/modern feel, giving enough control for wide vibrato and pitch-perfect string bends. Enhanced with the smooth Prestige edge treatment.
• DiMarzio Pickups — The PAF Pro neck pickup produces an open and clean low-end with a carefully-tweaked treble side that helps cut through the mix, while the DiMarzio Satchur8 bridge pickup fully supports Joe's versatile playing style and massive sound.
• High-Pass Filter & Coil-Tap Switches — A high-pass filter on the push/pull volume pot maintains the high frequencies at low volumes, while the coil-tap push/pull tone knob adds spanky single-coil tonal variations.
• Edge Tremolo with Ultralite Arm — Stays in tune no matter how extreme your divebombs or flutters might be! 'Ultralite' vibrato arm makes pitch control feel effortless; utilising carbon graphite for the grip.
• Gotoh Machine Heads — Provide superb precision, a smooth feel, and excellent tuning accuracy.
• Included Hardshell Case — Provides robust protection for your beloved instrument.
