Ibanez Premium JS240PS CA Joe Satriani Signature Electric Guitar Candy Apple

Unlimited Sustain, Expressive Tremolo Work and Joe Satriani’s JS Feel

The Ibanez Premium JS240PS CA Joe Satriani Signature in Candy Apple is built around the fluid, highly expressive playing style Satriani has developed across more than three decades of instrumental rock. Its American Basswood body is paired with a three-piece Maple/Bubinga neck reinforced with KTS TITANIUM rods, while the rosewood fingerboard uses a relatively round 250 mm (9.84") radius with 24 medium frets and Premium Fret Edge Treatment. The neck measures 20 mm (0.79") thick at the first fret and 22.3 mm (0.88") at the 12th, giving it more substance than an ultra-thin shred profile without feeling cumbersome.

The real point of difference is the SUSTAINIAC Driver in the neck position, wired to a Stealth PRO preamp customised for Satriani. Pulling up the tone control switches the system on, while a dedicated three-way mini switch selects Normal, Mix or Harmonic mode. In practice, that lets notes sustain far beyond their natural decay or bloom into harmonic overtones, making controlled feedback-style effects, held melodies and evolving textures possible without relying purely on amp volume.

At the bridge, the passive DiMarzio Satchur8 humbucker supplies the main driven voice, while a push/pull high-pass filter on the volume control helps retain treble as you roll the level back. The Edge tremolo and locking nut provide the hardware foundation for deep pitch movement, with strong tuning stability, precise intonation adjustment and a comfortable playing feel.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the JS240PS is aimed squarely at players who want more than a conventional dual-pickup rock guitar. The Sustainiac system, Edge tremolo and high-pass volume circuit give you a wide expressive range for soaring lead work, controlled harmonics and dynamic volume changes, while the Premium neck treatment keeps the playing surface smooth. A gig bag is included.
