The Ibanez JS Series is a signature series of guitars endorsed by Joe Satriani and manufactured by Ibanez guitars. It is essentially the discontinued Radius Ibanez series, with Joe's select pickups installed. The JS100 is a lower end model in comparison to the JS1000 and the JS1200. The JS1000 and JS1200 feature necks that are digitally reproduced from one of Joe Satriani's guitars. The JS1600 was introduced at NAMM 2008.

Chrome Boy

Timeline Dealing with various "Chrome Boys"

• 1988 Joe Satriani starts endorsing Ibanez guitars
• 1990 The innovative JS2CH "Chrome Boy" is produced
• 1998 Ibanez releases the JS10th to celebrate their decade long partnership with Joe
• 2005 JS2PRM is revealed at NAMM, just 60 were released

Chrome Guitars

JS2CH

The original Chrome Boy. The JS2CH has a basswood body. There were very few produced as finishing problems occurred with cracking. "Pearly", Joe's prized prototype JS2CH Chrome Boy, was stolen in August 2002 and has never been recovered.[1] (Joe Satriani's JS2CH was fitted with a Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates pickup, thus calling the guitar pearly.)

JS10th

The JS10th was Ibanez´ second attempt at producing a chromed JS. The JS10th is a unique Ibanez with a luthite (plastic) body encased in chrome. Chrome plating such a curvy instrument is clearly a very complex and difficult process resulting in many small (and some not so small) imperfections. Ibanez produced 506 of the JS10th model. Joe himself has stated that he does not use the JS10th, as he prefers the Japanese basswood models (the JS2CH and its prototypes)[2].

JS2PRM

The PRM "Premium Rock Mirror" was revealed at NAMM 2005 and although it belongs to the Chrome Boy family, it is actually basswood plated with aluminium. The first run of 20 had finish issues and the remaining guitars were produced in 2006.

JS 20th

Ibanez JS1200 with candy apple red finish

At NAMM 2008 Ibanez unveiled the JS 20th and the JS 1600. The JS 20th features artwork from Joe Satriani's Surfing With The Alien with a chromed relief of the Silver Surfer.

Production Line Guitars

Other guitars in production range from the "JS100" to the "JS Black Dog" that can be found on the Ibanez web site or other distributer sites, as well as the *newest "JS2400".
