Description

Ibanez's JS3 is a celebration of both innovation and tradition in electric guitar design, meticulously crafted for those who seek versatility and precision. Designed in collaboration with guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani, this solid body electric guitar is more than just an instrument—it's a statement. The JS3's DiMarzio humbuckers are at the heart of its tonal prowess, with the Satchur8 bridge pickup delivering searing, high-output sounds, while the PAF Pro neck pickup adds a touch of vintage warmth with an open, expressive character. Whether you're shredding solos or laying down intricate riffs, the lightweight basswood body ensures a balanced, mid-forward tone that cuts through any mix.

The JS3's playability is enhanced by its meticulously crafted maple neck featuring the custom JS profile. The 22-fret rosewood fingerboard, treated with Ibanez's Prestige edge, promises smooth transitions and effortless speed. A tilt neck joint further enhances comfort, making it a dream to navigate.

For those who like to push their sound, the JS3 offers a push-pull highpass filter on the volume control, maintaining the clarity of high frequencies even when the volume is dialed down. With an Edge double-locking tremolo system, you can dive-bomb and bend with confidence that your tuning will remain rock-solid throughout. Reliable Gotoh machine heads round out a package that's as robust as it is responsive.

"I have three original Donnie Hunt guitars. Donnie was an artist in the Bay Area who passed away a couple of years ago. He taught art at the Oakland School of Arts and Crafts, and basically painted everything in his environment – his loft, his phone, refrigerator, shoes, jackets, whatever. I had him paint a couple of guitars, then took him to Ibanez, and they basically hired him. I think he painted 300 versions, all incredibly different. Donnie also did a lot of embarrassing clothing from my early career! It was thrift-store stuff – very difficult to clean on the road! I originally had four of them, but my favorite one was stolen."
