Designed by Joe Satriani and Ibanez, this guitar features a very cool sculpted Basswood body that may be the most comfortable guitar you'll ever play. The pickups are IBZ AH1 (neck) & AH2 (bridge) humbuckers, chosen for their searing lead & thick rhythm tonal versatility. Also features a Rosewood fretboard, 1-piece Maple neck, double locking Lo TRS II tremolo, and a coil-tap switch for single coil tones.

The JS100's neck is a 25.5 in. scale with a round, 12 in. radius for good chording in the low register and more comfortable string bending in the upper frets.

Basswood is a comparatively lightweight wood, which makes it very comfortable for extended playing. With a good balance of highs and lows, Basswood is right in between alder and mahogany in sound character. For these reasons, Ibanez chose it for the JS100's body.

The Lo TRS II bridge is a floating, low-profile, locking tremolo.
