The JS24P is a modern guitar that provides the versatile and futuristic sounds of Joe Satriani. Alongside the incredibly dexterous instrumental rock style, Joe also has a strong blues influence behind his pioneering instrumental sound and his solo music has a delicate nuance at times with subtle 'bluesy' phrasing.
Joe's work with Chickenfoot also reveals his blues/rock inspiration, featuring simple grooves combined with an incredible soloing prowess. As such, Joe requires a guitar with a modern yet nuanced tonality, alongside a smooth playing-feel with a slightly more vintage-vibe. The JS24P provides the ideal balance between modern 'shred' guitars and a vintage-inspired playing feel.
The JS24P is one of the latest signature models, based on the instrument that Joe uses in his more recent solo work and in his band, Chickenfoot. The JS24P is honed towards an effortless playing experience with a massively versatile tonal capability. To achieve the effortless playing feel, the guitar has a deeply contoured body with an all-access neck joint, married to a medium-thin neck with a classic-guitar style 250mm radius. The 24 medium frets are finished with the Ibanez Premium Fret-Edge Treatment for a wonderfully smooth playing feel, while the JS24P's DiMarzio
The Chopper and Mo' Joe humbuckers are capable of both power and nuance. The pickups are wired with clever circuitry which offers coil-splitting and a high-pass filter for even more tonal versatility. This is the ultimate guitar for combining the playability of a 'shred' guitar with the balanced tones of a blues/rock/high-gain guitar. If, like Joe, your music requires finesse and great versatility with a modern edge, the JS24P won't disappoint.
