The Ibanez JS1GD “Gold Boy” is Joe Satriani’s dazzling signature masterpiece, built in Japan to deliver uncompromising playability, tone, and style. With its light-catching gold finish and gold-plated hardware, this guitar is as much a showpiece as it is a professional tool.

Under the hood, the JS1GD packs premium tonewoods and hardware: an alder body for resonance, a 3-piece JS Prestige maple/bubinga neck for stability, and a smooth 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with Prestige fret-edge treatment for effortless playability.

Electronics include a DiMarzio® Satchur8 bridge humbucker for harmonically rich high-output tones and a Sustainiac driver in the neck position for infinite sustain at the flip of a switch. Add in a built-in high-pass filter, Ibanez’s legendary Edge double-locking tremolo with Ultralite arm, and Gotoh hardware, and you have a signature instrument that captures Satriani’s sound and spirit with uncompromising precision.
