New Jackson Summer Releases Featuring JS Dinky Models!

Jackson JS Series guitars and basses are swift, sleek, deadly and affordable — built with more than 30 years of Jackson experience and expertise as ultimate shred machines.

Jackson JS models are armed with high-output pickups, jumbo frets and a tilt-back headstock — features normally found on more expensive instruments. This design negates the need for string trees, which often cause tuning issues due to the unnecessary friction they create. JS Series guitars and basses also feature compound-radius fingerboards. The radius is roundest near the nut, which is perfect for fretting riffs and chords and for deep bass. This curvature gradually flattens out farther up the fingerboard, which is ideal for light-speed soloing, effortless string bending and singing high-end bass.

Jackson high-output pickups

Designed for great high-output tone for the heaviest music and the most crushing players.

Bound neck and sharkfin fingerboard inlays

In addition to superior tone and feel, elegant design touches such as neck binding and classic sharkfin fingerboard inlays have been hallmarks of stylish Jackson aesthetics for more than 30 years.

Double-locking tremolos and high-mass hard-tail bridges

Our double-locking tremolos and hard-tail bridges look great and provide rock-solid intonation and tuning stability even for the wildest playing.

Playability and quality only found on more expensive guitars

The most important aspect of any guitar is its playability. With specially designed speed necks and fingerboards, Jackson JS models offer unbelievably smooth feel that puts no speed limit on a player’s creativity. Slender neck back shape is remarkably comfortable for those who prefer a thinner, faster neck.

A Guitar That Never Goes Out of Tune: LTD EC-1000 EverTune

With certain key exceptions, electric guitar technology has not changed drastically in the last 50-plus years. However, the EverTune Bridge represents a whole new way of approaching the art and science of keeping guitars in tune, at all times, under all conditions.

EverTune is an all-mechanical system, with springs in the guitar’s body that provide constant tension to the strings. The result: you not only maintain excellent tuning from day to day, but your guitar’s intonation is amazingly accurate at all points up and down the neck. You don’t have to change your playing style or any degree of expression while remaining in pristine pitch at all times.

With an EverTune-equipped LTD like the EC-1000 EVERTUNE, you can be confident that throughout a grueling gig or a long recording session, your guitar will remain in tune regardless of the temperature and other conditions. Huge string bends? No worries; the strings are under constant tension so that no matter what happens, you can always focus on playing, and not worrying about tuning.

PRICE DROP: Ibanez Joe Satriani JS-1200 20% Off!

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.

Main Features

• Color: Candy Apple
• Body Type: Solid body electric
• Neck Wood: Maple
• Top Wood: Basswood
• Back Wood: Basswood
• Fingerboard: Rosewood
• No. of Frets: 22
• Position Markers: Abalone dot inlays
• Scale Length: 25-1/2"
• Pickups: DiMarzio PAF Joe (neck) and Fred (bridge)
• Controls: Tone and Volume
• Bridge/Tailpiece: Edge vibrato tailpiece
• Pickup Switching: Toggle switch

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 highpass filter maintains a full tonal spectrum at all volume levels from a whisper to a full out, ear damaging roar!

SPOTLIGHT: Ibanez Red Desert 7 String Electric Guitar At A Deal 20% Off

The RG is the most recognizable and distinctive guitar in the Ibanez line. Three decades of metal have forged this high-performance machine, honing it for both speed and strength. Whether you favor a hardtail (fixed) bridge or our industry-leading locking tremolo system, the RG is a precision instrument.

Premium Fret Edge Treatment

Ibanez's luthiers' insane attention to detail is evidenced by the Premium's hand-rolled fret edges. This slow, demanding process makes for a smooth, fast playing neck.

 

DiMarzio® ibz pickups

DiMarzio® ibz pickups were made by DiMarzio® specially for Ibanez.  The tone is vivid but easy to control to your sonic requirement.

 

Edge-Zero II w/ZPS3Fe

The Zero Point System in the Edge-Zero II makes tuning easier and faster as well as providing stable tuning for long performances, all while maintaining smooth tremolo playing. Engineered to remove all points of friction, ZPS is the smoothest Ibanez Back Stop ever. Even when a string breaks loss of tuning is minimized. For players that prefer a full floating system, simply remove the stop bar. The innovative use of an additional outer pair of springs provides easier tuning and noticeably greater tuning stability than the traditional floating tremolo.

 

ZPS (Zero Point System)

No friction points make the ZPS the smoothest Ibanez Back Stop ever.  An additional outer pair of springs provides easier tuning and better tuning stability than the traditional floating tremolo-plus the other strings will remain in tune if a string breaks.

Switchable To Floating Trem

One of the best ZPS features! Just remove the stop bar and the ZPS easily changes to floating trem operation.

Manually Adjustable Spring System

Spring tension can be quickly set by thumb. There's no need for a hex wrench.
