Brand New with Warranty. We are an authorized Ibanez Dealer.
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.
The JS1GD is the most premium iteration of the Joe Satriani Signature model from Ibanez. Featuring Joe’s latest specs, this is the ‘crème de la crème’ JS. The ‘Gold Boy’ metallic finish is a sight to behold, and one of the boldest Satch finishes to date!

We give a thorough setup to every instrument that comes through our shop. From truss rod to tremolo, pickup heights to intonation, you can rest assured we have this one dialed in. We also do a thorough inspection and check of all electronics and hardware to make sure nothing slips by!
The Ibanez hard case pictured is included, along with Ibanez Quick Access Multi Tool and two tremolo arms… standard and Joe’s preferred Ultralite Carbon Graphite trem arm!
