Joe Satriani's JS models reach the peak in ultimate playability and jaw-dropping tone. His signature Ibanez JS100 electric guitar captures both of these -- in an attractive and well-balanced basswood body holding a set of AXIS AH1 and AH2 bumbuckers to fuel your ferocious tone. This axe's JS-style maple neck, topped with a rosewood fingerboard of 22 frets, offers incredible action for your fingers to glide across. Your Adjustable Edge III vibrato bridge/tailpiece is flexible for extreme dive bombs and will securely keep your strings in tune. You'll wail like never before with Joe Satriani's signature JS100.

A Well-Balanced and Sleek Basswood Body

This axe's aerofoil-shaped body has an ultra-modern look with its comfortable curves and sleek edges. Basswood is a great choice for a well-balanced and even tone. Darker body woods like mahogany tend to weigh more, while offering a darker sound with more low-end and midrange frequencies. Basswood will give you a brighter, more trebly sound that cuts through a little bit more. A lighter wood also means you'll be able to move around more freely while on stage.

The Unbeatable Action of a JS Neck

Talk about action -- the JS neck on this guitar will make a novice guitarist sound like a pro. Your strings will hug this comfortable and sleek maple neck in unparalleled proximity as your fingers fly up and down its 22 frets. This axe's longer scale length of 25 1/2" will give you a tighter feel that bites a little bit more than… read more shorter scaled guitars like Les Pauls.

Secure and Attractive Chrome Edge III Vibrato Bridge

A large part of Joe Satriani's sound is the immense spectrum of tones he achieves. The Edge III vibrato bridge will drop your strings as low as possible, and your bends can be pushed to their limits without any concern of going out of tune. Your strings lock in securely at the nut so you can staye focused on your playing instead of your intonation.

Coil-Splitting AXIS AH1 and AH2 Humbuckers

To further your JS100's tonal versatility, your AXIS AHI and AH2 humbuckers are wired with coil-splitting settings to give you a more biting single-coil sound. Your bridge AH2 bridge pickup is fitted with an alnico magnet to offset the brightness a little, and your AH1 neck pickup uses a ceramic magnet to brighten up the darker tendencies neck pickups can have.
