NGD!!
« on: December 30, 2013, 07:50:03 AM »
Some of you would of seen that I had my PRS Singlecut up for trade. Well as of yesterday I traded it for an Ibanez JS1000 + cash.

The PRS was a fantastic guitar but I found myself not really playing it. I think it may have been something to do with preference for double cutaways and humbuckers.

Some one offered me their JS1000 which is a guitar I've wanted ever since I became a fan of Joe Satriani at 12 years old.



I'll take a proper picture of mine later but it's Burnt Transparent Blue but not really burnt. So it's more of a transparent blue.

Absolutely awesome neck. Very similar to my Strat but a bit more C shaped.

Cool, although I'm always going on that Ibanez isn't my cup of tea the JS models appeal to me more than most, especially the tremolo-free ones.  The body shape's much nicer than an RG.

From your comments about the neck, I guess it's a bit less skinny than a typical Ibanez?

That's right Phil. It's a little slimmer than the Wide Fat neck on my CE22. Maybe similar to a Wide Thin

Love it, that's a great guitar. I think the JS and PRS's DGT are my two favourite signature guitars (if we don't count a Les Paul as a signature instrument). I like the colour too. You may find the Fred humbucker takes a little getting used to. I like it but it is an acquired taste.

I really like the pickups. A little less output than I usually go for but big distorted chords sound very nice and clear with great harmonics. It's made me rethink my taste on pickups.

Comes with a Lo Pro. After a lot of tinkering and screw tightening it holds it tuning very well

I like the Fred pickup too, it was one of my favourites in pre-BKP days.  It's not fat or powerful, but it's bright without being annoyingly thin sounding (that said, it was in my SG-X and might have sounded thin if there was a neck HB to compare with)

I still have that old Fred which is destined for my PRS SE EG, should I ever get round to it....

Lovely guitar I think. I like Joe Satriani's gear much more than his music. His signature Marshall also seems really nice.

Totally off topic: did you ever do anything with that MegaDrive?

Still got it somewhere, I think.  Another pickup I really liked (in a mahogany guitar, anyway).

That was in the SG-X for a while too, it was good with the series/parallel switch.  But I can't imagine what neck pickup would match it.
