This guitar has it all.Playability is like none other guitar we have in our studio including our Ibanez RG 550, RG 652, PRS Core Custom 24, Les Paul Standard, Fender Am Strat,Tele.The list is a collection of amazing guitars and they all sound and play great, so whatmakes this guitar fit into this league of champions?This guitar doesn’t have Satch or anything written anywhere it’s just JS....so that’s coolThe neck is the smoothest and just the right balance with an asymmetrical carve.The 6105 frets are tall and thin...very much like the new Fender Pro Strats...The fretwork is smooth and crowned... as good as it gets.The guitar is very ergonomic and fairly light and not a problem doing a 2 hour gig.Sonically it’s neck pickup is a balanced and smooth with new harsh tones.The neck pickup sounds thick, rich and clear with a little bite ...really greatThe sustainiac adds a additional thickness with clarity.Build quality is Perfection.We highly recommend the investment in this world class instrumentAgain zZounds bends over backwards to help all of us musicians to find the gear that we love

I have owned a ton of guitars, including most of the S series, 470,770 etc, and then Jem Jr and Jem. They were all awesome players and incredible sounding, yet, this one goes a notch over the top somehow.I am not a big guy, 5'6" and a 1/4 (dont take away my 1/4) , so the small body really works for me. the detail on the rounded body makes it easy to tuck in and play. The enck is fast, I missed frets and went zooming by the first couple of days..........but how does it sound ?This one you can really utilize the volume knob to roll back distortion, and you can change the sound to very distinctive sounds with the tone knob, it really is a do everything, but lets be truthful, you want to know about the sustaniac.Okay, it can be cool if you know how to use a volume knob, or how to kill sounds with your hands, it is a little gimicky, but I have been using it by hitting the nnotes then changing the selector switch to make it go from sustain to squeal.The reality is, it sounds great, the single coil is not top of the line sound, but still great, the humbucker is awesome, and it makes me want to play it, I get excited jamming on it, and it looks cool.If you can pony up some cash and use the financing, you wont regret it. I of course bought it here, thanks guys for the great deal..................but come on, expensive guitar, send a zZounds shirt for us to rep....lol, or start placing zZounds picks in the shipping, beat the S water at their own game

I’ve been playing Ibanez and Jackson guitars since the early 2000s I have a couple of Ibanez prestige’s models ,Rg550 reissues a old 2000 jem7v ,89 universe 7 string and for a while I had been looking at the new Steve vai pia and also the az models and took a turn to the new js model as well im excited to say that im extremely happy with the js model this one in particular the body is basswood and as it may be a turn down for some let me tell you playing gigs is a lot easier and more comfortable with this guitar , the body resonates with the sustanic ,and the tone is right on point to satch tone , this white model with the white head stock is very sexy trust me ,arpeggios and quick runs are easy peasy ,

I've had this guitar a few months now and it is good company with a Charvel ( Jake E Lee ) , Ibanez JEM and a Strat. I literally haven't touched the other guitars since receiving this. I play every single day about 2 hrs. at a time and have been working my way through Satriani's material. To note ( I had 3 of the San Dimas Charvel from a long time when they had serial numbers in the thousands ) These facts are important in this review showing decades of owning and playing quality instruments. Now here is my review : This guitar is absolutely the best I have ever owned and played. I waited to write this review because It was important to play it hard ,fast and often to find out if anything was going to fail . This thing is a beast and it can handle whatever you throw at it. You can do whatever you want with the tremolo and it stays in tune and the pickups screams on any Satch ,Van Halen, Randy Rhoads tunes. The push /pull is a new thing for me and I was skeptical it would do anything worthwhile. It's not something I use real often but it adds a whole other set of options to your sound which is nice to have when you need it . I really can't say a single negative thing about this guitar. I give it 5 stars across the board which is a first.
