    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    Model manufactured in Japan and all the characteristics are ease finding

    USE

    The handle is fantastic.
    No polish, AC allows to avoid the sweaty hands like mine cling.
    The sound may be soft slamming wish ...

    SONORITS

    I use it for any kind of style so the sound palette is stretched

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    This is a Satriani signature. I'm not a fan pouratnt and it is not for ca that I chose.
    In fact this guitar tends to a strat from the standpoint of touch while as much aggressive and providing better comfort (it's hard) game.

    UTILIZATION

    Right off the bat, this guitar is a dream to play. The action is low low LOW, and the neck has a nice carve to it. It's a bit thicker than the other Ibanez guitars, like RG with the Wizard neck, but it feels incredible. Also, the tremolo system on this is unmatched - the Edge from Ibanez is my favorite double-locking tremolo on this planet, and it always comes back to tune even after the most serious whammy abuse. The build quality is top notch as well.

    SOUNDS

    This guitar smokes! It is quite a versatile beast, but it was meant for shred. These Dimarzio pickups can sear and soar with the best out there - they have a vintage Gibson quality, but with a bit more output. The only think soundwise this guitar seems to be lacking is a push-pull tone pot. I'm not saying that all guitars should have one, but in this case, with the shred neck and Edge system, it would seem appropriate.

    OVERALL OPINION

    This is a great axe for anyone wanting to get their shred demons out. The guitar just begs to be played fast, but with soulful bends everywhere. It is a lead guitarist's dream guitar, and it does the job nicely.

    a balance adjustment of the microphones is highly recommended purchase, they are so powerful, I covered my bass in the bass! lol

    SOUNDS

    Very versatile this guitar is very much at ease on the blues, as on the metal!
    The clean sounds are very pure and crystalline in the neck position, the distortion in the bridge and very powerful solos evil will be much cleaner with handle.
    great sound in all positions!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had a year soon.
    I love its beauty, its lgerette and finish without reproach, a small problem for those who do not like red, it exists only one color (candy apple red)
    I tried an ibanez saber series, jackson, strata, yamaha s'apprche but none of the sounds of JS is a unique hand and scraper!
    CHRE purchase, but you keep scratching a living.
    no regrets about my choice!

    Regarding the characteristics of this beast running nothing wrong again.

    SOUNDS

    For sound, I left off the Sabre series, but it's really something else, powerful, dynamic and resonant ... all there !!!!!!!!!!!
    Ibanez hard to hit hard.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I own it for 3 months and I really have no complaints.
    It is perfect for all levels, sound, use, comfort and aesthetics (it would be perfect in hard chrome, but not distributed in France !!!!!! why ?????)

    In terms of specifications you can go to the official website ibanez.
    I will go directly to the type of handle: it is a ibanez neck type that is rather flat But know wanted to run a vintage feel that is it is not as flat as a RG, the is not a pancake where grip is often easier (the thumb has more grip ...), a more natural feeling but I will return later. Ibanez then typed a handle but not too, with a radius which evolved into the microphones: a more ergonomic handle is raproche when the body of the grate. I put 9 / 10 acr 24 cases have sometimes been necessary ...

I put 9 / 10 acr 24 cases have sometimes been necessary ...

    UTILIZATION

    The handle, therefore: Sach is a jusqueboutiste. He managed to think of a nice round (not a pancake ...) ultra ergonomic (radius evolutionary) and extremely fast: the handle is a six-lane highway! Just look at what he does ... but with a small point of detail. Satriani is small, even very small, and his hands are not those of Steve Vai, they are relatively small, and the handle is above all his own. My hands were very large pes, I do not know what to give it with big hands to handle Vai ... A super fast, then, and very accurate. Access to acute is trivial, the body shape as well, we played standing or sitting.
    Always listen to what are the artists whose guitars are guitars signatures: Sach play a lot with the touch, the feel, even his plans are a quick Carresse on the handle, Vai is much more nervous. The handle of the JS is really his own, and the shape of the body, all I would say, seems made for a game while feeling. I had some big guitars with a musicman EVH signature model, much more expensive, built for another as the handle, another speed of the grate, but I much prefer the JS. Cheaper, it remains a guitar "high end" accessible and very well thought out.

    SOUNDS

    In terms of sound, the possibilities are enormous. This may be an advantage as a disadvantage (never satisfied, you can always have another ...). the sound also depends very much on the material behind it: the possible effects and amp. Sach likes it without playing with three and ten digitech rack effects. In fact a good all-tube amplifier will provide big sound in its almost jazzy. clean sounds are huge! The sounds are a reflection of the grate, the wholesale feeling the finest ... of sach, what! Sach is a researcher, and all of us at our level, we can be with this machine to explore the sounds. Grate the alien kind.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a few days but I had tried several times already ... I must say that being a fan of Sach, I'm not necessarily too neutral, but hey, it gets worse as zicos.
    What I like least in this grate? Ben shit, there I see no ...
    I tried and owned other grates for some much more expensive, but not better ...
    Value for money? You will not find better.
    Not only I have no regrets, but I think in a few years, I have others (just to the collective ...)

    vibrato, an edge pro, a real treat, flexibility to take your breath away

    a split is available on the tone of the microphone that gives two simple micro perfect to play good blues.
    higt pass filter is in place on the volume knob, just getting up and kept his sharp even at low volume.

    The technical details are clearly presented in the previous post.

    Guitar excellent workmanship (made in Japan of course!).

    Note the jack (female) especially useful, especially designed for the cable through your strap.

    UTILIZATION

    While the handle is more enjoyable to play, I do not feel too much difference with my Sabre S370 series, which is still lower quality.

    Easy access to all of the handle, and you can easily use his left hand to hold the vibrato from below the handle. (For fans of harmonics typed JS)

    The particular profile of the body (the top end off the bottom, when you play standing) provides better visibility of the instrument played standing.

    Guitar rather light, as already stated.

    SOUNDS

    The sound is just crystal clear! the neck pickup is impressive depth and clarity! (See cool # 9) With or without saturation behind, guaranteed results!

    The microphone body is more aggressive, but always warm.
    Have easily play the metal by adding a good disto equalisée in / (ie less than treble bass).
    However, "it was Meant for rock!" (More than for the metal ...)

    The harmonics sound without problems, but better with a stronger pull than the original (9-46 instead of 9-42 for example).

    Nevertheless, we feel it is in the sound of a sharpened weapon for solo-ing!
    She is still using the versatile humbuckers into single detachable for rhythm.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I was probably one of the first in France to have this guitar. (August 2004 I believe.
    I buy on site to US ... even before its release.
    That is, the store shipped me the receipt. It has been available in France a few months after ... hahaha

    Okay it's wrong for our dear little shopping district, but ... for a total savings of € 500 at the time ... the choice was quickly made!
    € 1,200 all inclusive (plus shipping + custom hard case)

    A again, I'm starting again with closed eyes!

    my guitar before an Ibanez S470 silent, and I must say that for 600 is a super scratch when we start a little fan of the solo as Satriani. but after 2-3 years, I seem to have walk around, and the sound was beginning to make a noise like tinsel gimbarde old ... I had better scratch. and then with a friend, I tried the JS1000, and I must admit that comparing with the minne, j'tait sidr of the difference between the two imprssionnante MODELS. So 6 months of APRS connomies (and yes it is not given all of the same!), I order at my local supplier.

    a guitar is incredible finesse, compared to a mid-range guitar as my Ancinnes S470.
    you feel immediately at ease on it, not like a les paul not trs fine example.
    the finish is not perfect copy whatever is between the Jack, this candy red paint is super nice and flashy, you will not inaperu scratches with this!
    handle multi-radius, provided with fairly thin frets, is sliding fast and trs trs well.
    thanks to an inclined derrire the handle, the ACCS is most acute in the ISSA.
    the ergonnomie is incredible, the body is thin and super enjoyable, the weight is low for a relativment guitar solid basswood.
    get the faster is simple because there is no 36 setting, but if you dig ... it's harder.

    SOUNDS

    This guitar is one of the most versatile. I play hard-rock, rock, metal, blues and Satriani recess. there is no problem, but affordable styles are on this machine.
    I play on a Line6 spider75 III that reproduces the sounds of various amps and effects diversses, then I must say that it gnial! ago Satriani sounds even pre-program in this amp and it trs ressamblant! but now the amp is limited, I would have a real tube amp, but we are never happy with what we have!
    clean sounds are brilliant trs has a Manir Ibanez Sabre, but hot all the same. the palette of sounds is really the standard we have a lovely instrument of incredible finesse.
    its notes are saturated hyper prcises fuses and harmonics! the sound is powerful thanks to DiMarzio. it has the big war machine!
    vibrato is ecxellent though a bit hard to beginners compared to that of my ex-S470 that had nothing to do, but you get used to rev faster, the tuning is however quite difficult when you have never had a floyd guitar.
    all sounds are enjoyable, there's little splitter humbuckers into simple thanks to the push-pull knob Tone you lose power, but we gain in clarity strat style.
    comes from the little extra push pull volume that the operating, keeps a good acute low volume as it is fitted High-Pass Filter.

    OVERALL OPINION

    has now three months I have and I would say I'm not prs to go around. I really like the look of this guitar really looks like a jewel, it was fear of predre on hand to beginners because it is so beautiful!
    I really love the style "Statrianesque" of the skyscraper. if cpomparait with cars is really a Ferrari, plus it's red!
    I have not tried other models because it is the one I wanted!
    the report is qualitprix trs good, although I got it for 1530 and has increased in recent times was 1800, but in relation to performance is a ecxellent.
    It's a guitar with more characters that plairat RTISS, I even have a friend who swears by the Start and it really does bleuff this guitar.
    exprience with this choice I would do allgrement!
    My only big dception and is standard is that it does not make me play like Joe Satriani! ! ! and yes the tui they forget to put a small bag of "talent"
    for those who hsites, go for it head down, you do not regrterrez your choice. This is a solid, a REFERENCE MODEL trs and upscale. 10/10 in every respect. thank you for your opinion is a bit thanks to you that I bought it! ! !

    Updated pickups

    Ibanez JS1200 Joe Satriani SignaturePublished on 07/11/11 at 20:32
    This is really the exact same model as the Prestige JS1000s out there. The biggest difference is that the neck pickup has been replaced with the PAF Joe instead of the normal PAF Pro. The guitar has a basswood body with a maple neck and a rosewood fretboard, 22 frets with dot inlays, an Edge bridge, two DiMarzio humbuckers, one volume, one tone and a three way toggle switch.

    UTILIZATION

    The guitar has awesome build quality. The frets ends are nicely beveled so they won't cut your hands while moving up and down the neck. The frets themselves are perfectly crowned and allow you to get some low action without any issues. The bridge on this was actually replaced later on around 20…

    UTILIZATION

    The guitar has awesome build quality. The frets ends are nicely beveled so they won't cut your hands while moving up and down the neck. The frets themselves are perfectly crowned and allow you to get some low action without any issues. The bridge on this was actually replaced later on around 2010. These guitars used to come with an Edge Pro bridge, but they now have the (superior) Edge tremolo. If you're looking to buy one, I recommend getting it with the Edge bridge as they feel better to me. They have a spongier feel that allows you to flutter better. You can also use the intonation too with these.

    SOUNDS

    The guitar sounds great. While it's not the best guitar out there for high gain death metal rhythm tones, it does lead tones fantastically. The DiMarzio FRED sounds great in the bridge for lead lines; harmonics jump out like crazy and it has some real cool overtones going on. The PAF Joe in the neck has more of that classic "vowely" kind of tone going on for it. It sounds better than the PAF Pro to me because of this. It just seems to have a bit more character than the normal PAF Pro. Clean tones are especially awesome once you enable the coil split on the tone control.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Aside from the color and the PAF Joe in the neck, this is pretty much the same as the JS1000 out there. If you're a fan of the candy apple red color, I say go for it. Otherwise, you can get the same guitar out there if you just buy a used JS1000. If you do decide to buy this, try to buy a newer one as it'll have the Edge tremolo instead of the Edge Pro.
