Description
The Ibanez JS1GD Joe Satriani Signature "Gold Boy" is designed for advanced players who want both sonic flexibility and stage-ready performance. This is a high-performance instrument built to match the demands of Satriani himself, and it shows in every detail-from the Sustainiac-equipped neck pickup to the stunning gold finish. If you're someone who leans into expressive leads, ambient textures, or extended sustain techniques, this guitar opens that door wide.
The JS1GD features a 3-piece Maple/Bubinga neck, rosewood fretboard, and a lightweight alder body. You're working with a DiMarzio Satchur8 bridge pickup for punchy, articulate tones and a Sustainiac neck system that lets you hold a note as long as you want-great for solos, feedback control, or creating massive soundscapes. The Edge tremolo is ultra-stable, and the hi-pass filter on the volume pot keeps your highs intact even at lower volumes. A 3-way mini switch controls the Sustainiac modes so you can dial in how the sustain behaves-normal, mix, or harmonic.
The neck has a slim, fast feel with Prestige fret edge treatment for smooth playability across all 24 frets. Gotoh tuners and a locking nut keep everything tight, even under aggressive trem use. This one's not just about flash-it's about serious functionality for the studio, the stage, or anywhere you need total control. We've handled a lot of signature guitars over the years, and this one delivers the goods where it matters.
