Signature design built for expression
The Ibanez JS240PS Joe Satriani signature is designed to reflect the needs of one of the most expressive guitarists of all time. Crafted with an American basswood body, it’s lightweight, balanced, and incredibly responsive to dynamic playing. Its sleek Candy Apple finish and smooth contours make it comfortable to play during long sessions on stage or in the studio. Every curve and component has been chosen to support fluid movement and effortless access across all 24 frets, giving you the freedom to fully explore your creativity. This model captures Satriani’s signature feel with a design that’s both eye-catching and performance-driven.
Endless sustain and tonal control
One of the defining features of the JS240PS is its Sustainiac Driver in the neck position. Designed in collaboration with Satriani and tailored to his unique needs, the Sustainiac offers endless controlled sustain at the flick of a switch. You can hold soaring notes during solos or create harmonic feedback for texture and ambience—this pickup unlocks an entirely new dimension of sonic possibilities. Coupled with the specially voiced Stealth PRO preamp and a three-way mode selector, you can shape the sustain response to suit anything from melodic leads to experimental soundscapes, making this a powerful tool for expressive performance.
Versatile tone with high-end pickups
In the bridge position, the DiMarzio Satchur8 delivers punchy, articulate tone with rich harmonics and tight low-end response. This passive Alnico pickup supports a wide tonal palette, from saturated lead tones to crisp rhythm textures, giving you the flexibility to handle a range of genres with ease. Its clarity under gain and precision in clean settings make it ideal for players who demand high performance across multiple styles. Combined with the Sustainiac system in the neck, this pickup pairing gives the JS240PS a voice as versatile and dynamic as Satriani himself, giving you everything you need to unleash powerful leads.
Effortless playability and rock-solid stability
The JS3pc Maple/Bubinga neck is reinforced with KTS™ TITANIUM rods, offering exceptional strength and long-term stability without sacrificing comfort. The rosewood fretboard is smooth and fast, and the medium frets are treated with Ibanez’s Premium Fret Edge Treatment to ensure friction-free movement across the neck. From note bends to fast legato runs, the neck’s satin finish and ergonomic profile make navigation easy. Topped off with the Edge tremolo bridge and a locking nut, you get precise tuning, fluid vibrato, and reliable performance even under aggressive playing—perfect for serious stage and studio use.
