Plug in with the Ibanez JS2450 Joe Satriani solidbody electric guitar, and you'll instantly know you're holding a precision musical instrument. Even when you're shredding solos the JS2450 is incredibly comfortable to wear and play, thanks to its smooth and curvy design and the special JS neck profile. And you'll be exploring tones for weeks — you get two DiMarzio humbucking pickups, plus push/pull coil tapping and highpass filter. Factor in player-focused features like the Edge tremolo and 6105 frets, and you'll see the Ibanez JS2450 Joe Satriani is in a league of its own.

Thin, rigid neck and treated frets for maximum playability

You'll find that the JS neck profile on the JS2450 gives you a solid fretting foundation while allowing you to play as fast as you like. It's a three-piece maple/bubinga neck too, which is more rigid than one-piece neck and transfers vibration better. And no matter how fast you shred, you won't shred your fingers — the 6105 frets, a favorite of Music Experience guitar players, on the JS2450 have received Ibanez's Prestige treatment, which smooths down the edges for an amazingly fluid feel.

Dual DiMarzio pickups serve up unexpected tonal versatility

OK, you wouldn't expect anything less than powerful, rich tone from DiMarzio humbuckers. There's a Satch Track humbucker at the neck and a Mo' Joe humbucker at the bridge, chosen for their tonal tenacity and strong output. But the JS2450 also packs a push/pull tone control to coil-tap the bridge pickup. That gives you access to single-coil tones too, greatly expanding the tonal range of the JS2450.

Highpass filter enhances highs when you roll your volume down

If working your volume knob is a big part of your playing style you'll love this — the volume control on the JS2450 houses a push/pull highpass filter. It prevents you from losing your high-frequency edge when you've got your volume rolled back. This lets you keep your definition and edge when you're cleaning up your tone, then easily switch to full-bore tone when you want to send your amp into overdrive territory.

What Ibanez Says...

One of the most influential and respected instrumental rock guitarists to emerge in the past three decades, Joe Satriani is that rare "musician's musician" who's crossed over into the mainstream with music sublime and complex, appealing to a wide variety of tastes. A true master of the six-string, Satriani worked as a guitar teacher in his early career, with a number of his students-among them Steve Vai, Kirk Hammett (Metallica), Larry LaLonde, David Bryson (Counting Crows), Charlie Hunter and more-achieving their own considerable successes. While in considerable demand as a sideman throughout his career-he's toured with Mick Jagger, Deep Purple and many others-Satriani has pursued his own musical vision over the years through a series of instrumental rock albums (many of them Grammy nominated) which chronicle his evolution as an artist and his eloquence as a guitarist.
