Beautiful condition limited run Ibanez JS1CR.
From its first release, every last Joe Satriani Chrome Boy has been snapped up in no time flat. Now Ibanez and Joe Satriani have collaborated yet once again resulting in the all new limited Edition JS1CR electric guitar. This delicious example of guitar art continues the Chrome Boy legacy. Just like the JS1CR-30, this beauty takes the concept to another level – and then some.
The JS1CR electric guitar features a 3-piece Maple/Bubinga neck with a JS profile for stability and an enhanced playing surface. The thin neck boasts Ibanez’s Prestige fret treatment and Rosewood fretboard – the JS1CR is a dream machine.
Joe has specified the harmonically rich DiMarzio Satchur8 humbucking pickup in the bridge position. Even at the highest gain settings, notes are tight and articulate with superb definition. Fernandes’ Sustainiac circuit is the Satchur8’s bed partner allowing you to stretch your notes into infinity at will. Simply kick in the Sustainiac circuit, play a note or chord and get ready for infinite sustain.
The JS1CR is a JS series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 2019. It is a signature model of American guitarist Joe Satriani which was produced in Japan by FujiGen.
The JS1CR is the fifth attempt at a guitar with a chrome finish after the original JS2 from 1990 and the JS10th from 1998, the second JS2 from 2005 and the previous year's 30th anniversary JS1CR30 which is basically identical. Satriani has always wanted such a guitar, but producing a guitar with a durable chrome finish has proved to be a challenge.
The JS1CR features an alder body bolted to a maple and bubinga neck with a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl dot position markers. Components include an Edge double locking tremolo bridge with a locking nut and an Ultralite tremolo arm and a DiMarzio Satchur8 humbucking pickup in the bridge position.
Besides the finish the other defining feature of this model is the Sustainiac driver neck pickup. The Sustainiac feature is controlled by a push-pull on/off switch on the tone control as well as a 3-way toggle with three settings: harmonic, normal or mixed. Additionally the volume control has a push-pull switch which activates a high-pass filter.
The JS2480 is a similar model except for the chrome finish.
The JS1CR was discontinued after 2022.
