That's right. It's another Joe Satriani guitar!. The 2400. Guitar Center has the lowest price around on these! Here are some of the features on this latest Satch signature model:
The first 24-fret neck (with compound radius) is Satch’s newest adventure in the JS guitar line.
The legendary Edge tremolo bridge for JS2400, always Joe's favorite in feel and tone.
While Joe’s favorite DiMarzio Pro-Track™ (H) neck pickup has warmth along with power, The Mo’ Joe™ (H) bridge pickup is all about tone and definition – its name says it all. It packs plenty of power but doesn’t sacrifice clarity or dynamics.
I have the earliest model (I think) the JS100. Wow! that was YEARS ago. These guitars are great to play. They are super light weight as well. Good tone too.
These are all the basic features of the JS series Ibanez:
* All models feature coil tapping on both neck and bridge pickups
* JSBDG, JS20TH, JS20S, JS1600, JS1200 and JS1000 are precision-made in Japan
* Select JS models feature high-pass filter on volume pot for maintaining highs at low volumes
* Multi-radius Prestige neck (on select models) is an exact digital rendering of Joe ’s favorite axe
* Edge III (JS100) offers the great feel of the original Edge trem but is lower profile for increased comfort
* JS1600PSV offers the stylistic and sonic alternative of a mahogany body with a fixed bridge and locking tuners
* JS1200L is the first left-handed Satriani signature model ever (L for left!)
* NEW JS2400 is first 24-fret modelJSBDG "Black Dog" The rumors were true – after years of calls from the legions of Satriani faithful, Ibanez was going to offer a collector's edition of Joe's storied "Black Dog" electric guitar.
* JS20TH & JS20S 20th Anniversary Models – 20 Years of Surfing with Satch – Ibanez is proud to feature the Joe Satriani 20th Anniversary signature models, dressed to kill with a special 3D inlay of the Silver Surfer (JS20TH) on the guitar’s body
Joe recently did an interview with Ibanez and he talked gear with them as well as touring and other stuff. Here's an excerpt of the interview:
Ibanez: Now, lets talk about gear a little bit. Which Ibanez guitars are you utilizing at the moment?
Joe: Aside from Chrome Boy? I'm looking at my guitar stand right now and I've got a new white JS1000 guitar on it, which sometimes I gravitate towards because of the color. When I really get tired of the stuff I've been playing, I go to a white guitar and I feel like I'm starting on a clean slate. I also dug up my old JS6 mahogany to use for slide guitar and the JS700 with the soap bar pickups, which I also use for slide guitar. I'm determined to push my slide playing into the next level, which means I really have to practice quite a bit. I've also been working with a Universe 7-string quite a bit. I'm determined to unlock the secret of setting it up so it responds a little more like the JS guitars. I plan to use it on it on some Playstation 2 tracks.
Ibanez: Well, maybe we need to build you a JS 7-string.
Joe: That's a good idea. That would help me out a lot.
Ibanez: What records have you been listening to lately?
Joe: The last couple of days, I've been listening to a record that my sister sent me. It's called Stone Rock Blues. It's a record that has all the old songs from which some of the most popular heavy rock songs were stolen or based off of.

I just visited Joe Satriani’s official website, and he’s booked until October. He’s still really big time, and still rockin’ it.
My friend and I were arguing about this! Now I know that I was right. lol! Thanks for making me sure!
