Yes, Now You Can Own Joe Satriani's Guitar!
It took many years to create guitars that could satisfy Joe Satriani, the "Master of Tone." But the end result was worth it. Joe's signature guitars aren't just a tribute to the man who has kept the torch burning for instrumental rock, they're the perfect vehicle for any artist who can put as much intensity into a whole note as he or she does with light speed phrases.
Ibanez JS1200 at a Glance:
- Basswood body with Edge Pro vibrato tailpiece in Candy Apple red finish
- Maple neck with rosewood fingerboard
- DiMarzio pickups (PAF Joe in neck position, Fred in bridge position)
The Perfect Guitar To Take "Surfing With The Alien"
Anyone who has heard Joe Satriani's original 1987 release, "Surfing With The Alien," has heard the man wail on Ibanez guitars. Today, with his own signature edition instruments, all built to his exacting specifications - and with a little secret mojo mixed in for good measure - Joe is bringing down the house at concerts around the world (or melting down your CD player with his ninth studio album, "Is There Love In Space?"). For the JS1200, Joe selected lightweight basswood for the aerofoil-shaped body because of its comfort factor and excellent balance between highs and lows. The Candy Apple red finish is a real scorcher, but guaranteed not to burst into flame no matter how hot your licks are!
Multi-radius Prestige Maple Neck and Rosewood Fingerboard
There's no reason to mess with a formula that's been time tested for half a century, so the JS1200 features a multi-radius Prestige maple neck and a rosewood fingerboard that's an exact digital rendering of the actual neck on Joe's favorite axe. And thanks to the deep cutaways on the JS1200's body, you get superb access to the upper frets for your most demanding solo work. Adding a touch of class are abalone dot inlays. Hey, if it's good enough for Joe...
DiMarzio Pickups Deliver Tone For Days
What good is a sleek, sexy guitar if it doesn't have the tone to match. Thanks to the specially-designed DiMarzio pickups (a PAF Joe in the neck position and a Fred in the bridge position - hey, we didn't name these things), you can go from crystal clear to downright filthy just by adjusting your tone and volume knobs, because an exclusive high pass filter maintains a full tonal spectrum at all volume levels from a whisper to a full out, ear damaging roar!

Perfection by Jerry from Austin Texas, March 24, 2008 Music Background: Guitar hobbyist.
“This guitar is a real work of art. The technical aspect of the guitar is exceptional. The neck is absolutely perfect in my opinion. The two humbuckers give great sound with good range of variations. The controls are ideal for the guitar’s intended purpose.
The floating bridge takes time to tune but then it stays in tune. The vibrato or tremolo range is as good as it gets with...” Read More

"Wow, this guitar literally plays as smooth as it looks. This is one of those guitars that just feels perfect whether sitting back and writing some new licks, or in the spotlight center stage. Built to Joe Satriani's demanding specifications, the neck is fast, the weight is just right, and you'll start to wonder where the JS1200 was all your life!"
