Description
If you're searching for an instrument that lives at the intersection of technical mastery and pure inspiration, the Ibanez JS2480 Joe Satriani Signature is built for you. Whether you're a dedicated Satriani follower, a progressive rock shredder, or simply seeking a professional-level guitar that doesn't compromise, this guitar feels instantly personal. Joe Satriani's influence runs deep across generations of guitarists; his quest for limitless expression and precise tone shapes every detail of this stunning signature model.
The JS2480's story is one of relentless innovation and direct artist collaboration. Satriani has spent decades sculpting his voice as a guitarist, teaching legends like Steve Vai and Kirk Hammett, and dazzling audiences both as a solo virtuoso and with rock heavyweights. This signature model embodies that pursuit; it's a faithful translation of Joe's needs on stage and in the studio, right down to the finest detail. If you want authenticity in a modern signature guitar, this is as real as it gets.
Crafted with a lightweight Basswood body and a 3-piece Maple/Bubinga neck, the JS2480 delivers exceptional resonance and sustain. The rosewood fretboard, fitted with medium frets and prestige fret edge treatment, makes for a fast, fluid playing experience-ideal for intricate runs, expressive bends, and precise chord work. At the heart of its sound is the DiMarzio Satchur8 bridge pickup, designed specifically to capture Satriani's expansive tone, from searing leads to glassy cleans. Pair that with the Sustainiac Driver in the neck and you unlock infinite sustain and harmonic textures at your fingertips, making this guitar a playground for sonic exploration. The high-pass filter on the volume pot preserves your top-end clarity even at lower volumes, while the original Edge tremolo delivers both wild pitch effects and rock-solid stability.
The JS2480 was designed with comfort in mind. The JS neck profile is a perfect blend of speed and comfort, while the medium frets and smooth fret edges make technical passages effortless. Tuning is locked down by a precision Edge tremolo system and a rock-solid locking nut, so you can push the limits without worry. Ergonomics are further enhanced by well-balanced hardware and thoughtful contouring throughout.
Visually, the White finish and mother of pearl dot inlays create a classic, elegant vibe that feels right at home in any setting. Every detail-right down to the iconic Ibanez headstock-communicates that this is a player's instrument, ready to inspire.
The JS2480 Joe Satriani Signature isn't just another artist model; it's a finely tuned instrument with a spirit all its own. From technical fireworks to soaring melodies, it empowers you to find your own voice. At Cream City Music, we're genuinely excited to offer a guitar that delivers both legacy and limitless creative potential. This JS2480 could be the instrument that shapes your own story.
