PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
- A Combination of Modern and Classic Playing Features The JS2480 is a modern guitar that provides the versatile and futuristic sounds of Joe Satriani. Alongside the incredibly dexterous instrumental rock style Joe also has a strong blues influence behind his pioneering instrumental sound and his solo music has a delicate nuance at times with subtle bluesy phrasing. Joes work with Chickenfoot also reveals his blues/rock inspiration featuring simple grooves combined with an incredible soloing prowess. As such Joe requires a guitar with a modern yet nuanced tonality alongside a smooth playing-feel with a slightly more vintage-vibe. The JS2480 provides the ideal balance between modern shred guitars and a vintage-inspired playing feel. The JS2480s Sustainiac neck-pickup adds the ability to explore the sound of infinite sustain greatly expanding the potential of this guitar. Playing Feel To create a smooth and effortless playing feel the JS2480 has 24 frets with the Ibanez Prestige Fret-Edge Treatment for an incredibly smooth response. The all-access joint and deep cutaway of the body allows unlimited access to the top-frets and ensures you can perform the most complex of techniques with as few barriers as possible. To create a more classic feel with these specifications the frets are medium sized - unlike the classic super-jumbo sizes of shred/metal guitars. The fingerboard has a 250mm radius creating a relatively flat surface which enables comfortable soloing and chordal work. This radius isnt as flat as other shred guitars and still creates a subtle rounded surface for a more "classic" guitar feel. The neck whilst slim still has a comfortable profile and takes up more room in the hand than Ibanezs Wizard necks
- this provides a more confident hold and enhanced sustain. Balanced and Stable Tonewoods The Basswood body creates a lightweight instrument that is comfortable for use over long periods. Basswood is also tonally versatile with a bright and resonant edge that helps you cut through the mix. The neck is crafted from maple and bubinga in 3 pieces giving enhanced strength and resonance. A rosewood fingerboard enhances low-end articulation and ensures your playing will have a fast pick-attack. Versatile DiMarzio and Sustainiac Pickups The DiMarzio Satchur8 bridge humbucker is Joes go-to pickup and offers a hot output with great clarity and dynamics. It allows harmonics to jump out with ease and creates strong string-separation with great articulation. The Sustainiac neck pickup operates like a classic neck-position coil giving a warm and mellow sound for smooth leads and chords. When you engage the Sustainiac preamp the neck pickup creates infinite sustain and opens the door to a world of sonic potential. The pickup can operate in three different modes letting you achieve standard sustain effects and octave harmonic effects. The pickups are wired with a high-pass filter activated by the push-pull volume control. This filter gives your riffs and solos an extra edge to stand out in the mix. The tone control acts as a push-pull Sustainiac on/off switch so you can access the infinite sustain effect at the push of a button. Quality Hardware The JS2480 is loaded with a time-proven Edge tremolo double locking tremolo system. Joe Satriani is known for his bombastic use of the whammy bar and he needs the ultimate system to give a smooth action and to guarantee accurate tuning. This system is equipped with a light weight tremolo arm for an enhanced feel.
