The Ibanez JS3CR Joe Satriani “Chrome Boy” is a striking blend of iconic design, refined playability, and versatile tone, built to reflect the legendary style and sonic demands of Joe Satriani himself. Finished in dazzling chrome hardware and unmistakable JS contours, this guitar is as visually bold as it is musically capable, making it a standout instrument for players who demand performance, comfort, and unmistakable presence.

At its core, the JS3CR features a basswood body, delivering a balanced tonal foundation with focused mids and smooth lows that respond beautifully to both clean and high-gain settings. The sculpted body shape ensures exceptional playing comfort whether seated or standing, while the JS one-piece maple neck provides strength, stability, and a fast, fluid feel. Paired with a rosewood fretboard adorned with mother-of-pearl dot inlays, the guitar offers a warm, articulate response and a classic aesthetic. The medium frets, enhanced by Ibanez’s Prestige fret edge treatment, allow for effortless bending and precise fretting across the entire neck.

The neck profile is engineered for speed and comfort, featuring a 25.5" (648mm) scale length, a 250mm radius, and carefully measured dimensions for optimal playability—42.8mm at the nut, expanding to 56.4mm at the 21st fret, with a slim 20mm thickness at the 1st fret and 22.3mm at the 12th fret. This design supports everything from intricate legato runs to aggressive lead work with ease and confidence.

Equipped with an Ibanez Edge tremolo bridge, the JS3CR offers exceptional tuning stability and smooth, expressive vibrato performance, with a 10.8mm string spacing that feels natural and precise. The guitar comes factory-tuned to standard EADGBE and strung with D’Addario EXL120 strings in a light gauge set (.009–.042), making it immediately responsive right out of the case.

Tonally, the JS3CR is loaded with a powerful and versatile DiMarzio pickup combination. The PAF Pro™ neck pickup delivers clear, articulate tones with rich harmonics, while the Satchur8™ bridge pickup provides aggressive output, tight lows, and cutting highs ideal for modern rock and fusion leads. Both pickups are passive, with the neck utilizing a ceramic magnet and the bridge featuring alnico. Expanded tonal flexibility comes from a push/pull hi-pass filter on the volume control and a push/pull coil-tap on the tone control, allowing players to shift effortlessly between full humbucker power and brighter, single-coil-style textures.

Finished with sleek chrome hardware to match its iconic “Chrome Boy” identity, the Ibanez JS3CR is as durable as it is eye-catching. It ships with a hard case, ensuring reliable protection for transport and storage. Altogether, the JS3CR Joe Satriani Chrome Boy is a professional-grade instrument that delivers legendary tone, precision craftsmanship, and unmistakable style—perfect for players who want a guitar that performs at the highest level and looks the part on any stage.
