All user reviews for the Ibanez JS1000 Joe Satriani Signature

Made in Japan (by the team of luthiers Satriani), 22 frets, Floyd Rose licensed tremolo (Pro-Edge), a volume knob, a knob of Tone and split them both, a selector 3 positions, and bah ... the rest will see the reviews prcedents

UTILIZATION

To begin with, the handle, a "note highway", super fast, nothing wrong, no need to have huge fingers to be a comfortable top and saw the man on which the makers were inspired we can understand why
Access to acute is perfect (the table is Legrant widen the rear of the guitar which added dose of comfort and more.
Before playing on fender strato I t dconcert at the beginning by the size (smaller than a strato) and rounded edges that are a joy when you play standing (a not break your ratings when you play several hours in a row).
The skyscraper is also trslgre, no more pain shoulders!
At obtaining sound is a little scrap at the beginning when we see that there is only one volume knob, but what a knob! Playing with the split pickups and Tone sound has its own, no-brainer!

SOUNDS

I was looking for a versatile guitar, and I had some doubts about the clean sounds (I played on a team of Texas strato special) but miracle! You can really do everything with, from jazz grooosse the distortion through the blues ect rock (and yes I had to go to Providence, that there's no Fender in life
I use a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe and fall to the ground is clean, with lots of super prcis slamming the tone bottom, and super deep, round and sweet tone with 0. Namely, the transition from Tone is extremely rich, so you turn the tone of a little thing, the sound changes a little something too short, super easy to find your sound.
The volume knob is not n'altre same quality and the gain when you drop, super prcis too. The bridge in position grossee disto has something for all shredders rafters)

OVERALL OPINION

I do not use it since trs long (two months) but you just have to give three shots mediator to be aware of the quality of the guitar.
BMOL only, not the color tip-top for me, but achte a scratch for the first .
Nine in its price will put off some (and yes it even when not given), that is why I chose mine to OCCAZ (960 t and has jou e trs that rarely, there was still protective films derrire!).
With experience, I hsiter remake that choice without a second, but the fact remains that if my finances had taken, I though t MODELS tent by the Fender Custom Shop lol. Let's play!

Satriani is a guy who sticks to what he likes. He has been playing Ibanez guitars for years and his model has barely changed. Joe Satriani is one of Steve Vais peers. He is a modern guitar player and uses a lot of modern equipment. He does a ton of session work for people and has won Grammys. He also leads the G3 tour which takes him and 2 other great guitar players around the world. The Satch sig is a pretty cool design. It is kind of based off an S series Ibanez. The guitar features a basswood body in the super smooth JS body shape. The neck is 22 frets with a rosewood fretboard and his own neck profile. Early models had the original Edge tremolo but this was changed later as Ibanez advanced in their tremolo designs. This guitar has two humbuckers and a master volume and tone knob with a 3 way for switching. It has a PAF pro in the neck and a FRED in the bridge. The FRED is one of Satrianis signature pickups.

UTILIZATION

Being based off an an S series Ibanez the guitar retains a lot of the comfort that was built into that original design. The shape of the guitar is designed to fit comfortably against your body. It gets very thin up at the top so its fits well against your body and arm. The smooth contours along the cutaways help with upper fret access because you do not have any hard edges around anywhere. A lot of RG's have hard edges in the cutaway that can make the guitar pretty uncomfortable to play on the high frets. This model being so old has the old style Ibanez neck join which is similar to what you would find on a Fender guitar. While the body is thin at the top it gets nice and thick towards the bottom so the guitar has a thick tone and nice weight to it. It does not feel flimsy like some Ibanez guitars tend to feel. Satriani prefers a more traditional feel to his guitars so the frets are not as big and the radius is that that flat but it still retains all the great Ibanez playability.

SOUNDS

The sound of this guitar is pretty love hate. Satrianis style requires pickups that get a ton of harmonics and this is what you get on this guitar. If you do not play like Satriani this could be a problem for you. With the Satriani designed FRED in the bridge this guitar has a crazy sound that only Satriani can really take advantage of. I am not a huge fan of the Fred pickup. The FRED works well for him though. You can really get crazy harmonics from it and it is super clear. It is kinda like Steve Vais EVO pickups cousin or something. The PAF pro in the neck is a classic tone. With this guitar only having 22 frets you get a classic neck position tone. Satriani only gave this guitar 22 frets for that reason. With the neck pickup that much farther out you get even fatter tones from the position. The further away a pickup is from the bridge the more beefy it sounds and this is as far as you can get it. This beefy sound with the basswood really give the PAF pro a nice even tone that you want for smooth leads in the neck position. The neck pickup tones are classic but its the bridge tones that I dislike, and since the bridge is what you use the most I find myself not liking the overall tone of the guitar. I should probably be happy that this guitar comes with something other than stock Ibanez pickups.

OVERALL OPINION

This is pretty much a classic guitar now. If you can find a good deal on one of these they are great guitars if you are Satriani fans. The models have not changed much so I would not pay more for an older one. If you get a new one you are pretty much getting the same thing.

UTILIZATION

The handle is thick enough, but it is paradoxically much more comfortable than my very flat RG. This is especially true for the rhythm, the hand hold very naturally.
The button has a radius that changes quite pronounced on the handle.
Overall it was quickly at ease, you feel just the frets (very fine) and touch the wood is very nice.
For me, the best round I've played so far!

SOUNDS

First grip vacuum: even if not connected, the JS sounds well and strong which is good sign for the future.
After changing the strings and adjusted the floyd, it's time to plug the beast ... For my part I use a JCM900 combo changed (Vintage preamp + HP 30) and some analog-style pedals DS-1, Cry Baby, CH-1, etc..
And there, slap!
The sound is beautiful, lots of bass, very powerful, very pure. Playing with volume, tone, the high-pass filter, etc., we get a very wide range of different sounds. And above we obtain easily the sound of the master. Using the DS-1 we obtain the aggressive sound of the old albums, and using the distortion of the amp was the sound of the album Super Colossal.
Despite what is being said, I think this guitar has a strong personality. Good job Mr. Satriani Ibanez and team!

OVERALL OPINION

I bought my 1000 used JS (model 2001) on eBay U.S.. Pleasant surprise, it happened to me almost new, not a single scratch, no frets wear. So only 1100 USD including shipping, we can say it's a deal!
As big fan of Satch, my opinion is certainly not objective. I am amazed at all events by the ease of play (long live the legato) and the beauty and sound power.
For me this guitar is the guitar of my dreams, I can not wait to play live!

This guitar is probably Satch's most famous model as it's his longest running one, I believe? It's been around since the early to mid 90s and is still made to this day. It's one of those "can't improve on perfection" guitars, if you ask me. While there are actually some slight differences between the years, these are the specs of the guitar I'm reviewing -- The guitar has a basswood body with a maple neck and a rosewood fretboard, 22 frets with dot inlays, a LoPro Edge bridge, two DiMarzio humbuckers, one volume, one tone and a three way toggle switch.

UTILIZATION

This guitar was absolutely amazing in terms of build quality. The frets themselves felt fantastic. There were no sharp edges, and the frets were perfectly crowned. With the higher end Ibanez guitars, this is fairly normal. The frets were nice and level, so I was able to get some low action without much of an issue. The overall build quality was great, and there were no real big neck joint gaps. The guitar came equipped with what's probably my favorite tremolo out there -- the Ibanez LoPro Edge. It feels amazing, sounds great and lasts forever.

SOUNDS

The guitar is pretty versatile with its coil tap. The bridge pickup is a DiMarzio FRED and the neck is a DiMarzio PAF Pro. The FRED is interesting in that it's like a bizarre PAF. There are all kinds of unique harmonics coming out of this that other pickups don't seem to have. It's not for everyone, but I really like it for lead tones. The PAF Pro in the neck is a proven combination that's been around since the days of rack effects units. It's a fairly warm tone, but it has a nice treble bite to it so you can really be heard. It helps balance the frequencies with the bridge pickup. There's also a push/pull on the tone that allows you to coil split these for that almost single coil tone.

OVERALL OPINION

If you're looking for a Satch guitar, check out this one. These come equipped with everything you need, meaning you don't need to replace the pickups like in so many other Ibanez guitars out there. The floyd is great, the construction rules and it just feels right.

See review previous ones.

UTILIZATION

Compare my RG Prestige 2620, I find it much easier and enjoyable to play.
Satriani has really succeded CRER a modern guitar (weight trslger, CASC to acute versatility microphones, etc..) Vintage gaming sensations (the neck radius, fret size, etc.. ).

For me, this guitar is near perfection!

SOUNDS

Tests mainly non branch, but with the guitar vibrates well cons of belly fat.

OVERALL OPINION

This is the guitar of a friend in which I played yesterday, the play itself for quite some years (8 years?) And I t tonn fawn by which it improves with time: the handle has a little pad guitar vibrates too much, the frets are in a state almost flawless ...

I have not had the opportunity to properly test DIFFERENT sound, I give an opinion on the jouabilit and feel of the game that I really bluffing when compared with both my Start, my RG Prestige, and scrape all the good that I could play.

Well, I'm dgot because it is not me, and this is by far the best!
