I agree 💯%. I’ve had a few Js 1000s. And, I’ve had an RG550. And the RG was soooo much more versatile. And just kicked.

Ibanez guitars are made by different companies for Ibanez with Cort making the cheaper to medium price guitars in Indonesia and fujigen gakki making the Prestige and artist models in Japan.

Re the switchable treble-bleed, I had my JS2000 rewired so that the treble bleed was permanently engaged (it's so smooth and natural that I never switch it off). I had the two push-pull controls wired so that they split the two pickups individually. That allows me switch from split neck pickup to unsplit bridge pickup with one flick of the pickup selector. I can also have any combination of split and unsplit, which means provides two extra, quite useful tones from the pickup selector middle position (split/unsplit and unsplit/split).

@robertogarza5377 Месяц назад

the fact that you played the Terminator 2 theme around 5:30 was a welcome surprise

@MostlyElectrolytes Месяц назад

Many years ago I gave a friend a bass for his birthday and so he gave my son a JS100 (Korean version) for his birthday. This was at least 15 years ago. I pulled it out about two years ago and put proper DiMarzio pickups in it, but after working on it discovered it had a warp in the neck and forgot about it. Well I bought a Fretkisser from StewMac and needed a practice guitar and managed to get it playing pretty good....good enough to start looking around for a JS1000 for me. Anyway I found an absolute mint white (looks cream) one and its funny because its so easy to play, but it's not what you would think that a shred machine would be. Its got the same electronics...what I really like about the Floyd Rose is that its got center locks for the studs as well as spring locks on the block and the early versions like this one had hardened knife edges that just never wear. Its a criminally underrated guitar that can cover a lot of ground.

@MikaTarkela Месяц назад

@lyricbread Месяц назад

Hey John, if you dig the JS1200, you ought and try to find a JS6, JS600, or JS6000, which are all hard tail versions. Same bones, but without the hassle of a locking trem.

@LilOlFunnyBoy Месяц назад

I love a Floyd (Ibanez Edge in particular). I took my RG out of its case a couple of months back. It had been in there for about 5 years. Still in tune. I also love that you can just lift the bridge out to work on the guitar and pop it straight back in. In tune.

@mikegrisafi541 Месяц назад

Aw man. You'd love my Carvin. I spent a lot of time dialing in the treble bleed circuit to get it just right. Its not switched but I stuck a trim pot in the back to kinda pan between 2 cap values while dialing in the series resistance. I use a single channel amp set crunchy which dials back to an incredible clean...makes for awesome dynamic control right at my fingers.

@Gorbyrev Месяц назад

Lovely playing hood sir and a resplendent JS. Here's to the treble bleed capacitor, a superstrat staple.

@nathanieldahman9268 Месяц назад

The JS guitars are so good. I haven't played one in years. That switchable treble bleed is SO COOL! I've never had a problem with the Ibanez locking system. It's rock solid for me. The key, I think, is setting the spring/string tension balance just right. I always set it to where the saddle screws sit perfectly parallel with the top of the guitar.

@bennyk6389 Месяц назад

It's one of my favorite guitars EVER! I'm a Satriani fan myself, played this one couple of times (borrowed friend's guitar). Don't know if I'd get one today though. Time moves on and taste changes... But it's an amazing and beautiful guitar indeed!

@alexmackenzie4070 Месяц назад

Nice one, love your playin. it’s funny that it’s probably the most under-recognised perfectly conceived and executed vintage super strat/gibson crossover ever created. I got a JS1000 20 years ago off US ebay for a £500 bargain as it had a ding on it. Never has a guitar defied my expectations so much, It felt more stratty than my USA strat and makes you play delicately. It’s bodily dinky and found needs to be strung with 9s to come alive. I was completely obsessed by Satch’s neck sound, he describes this as being ‘tubular’ and is clearly Gibson inspired but on this guitar, you get that sound instantly. That Mighty Turtle Head thang.

@RobbSutherland 6 дней назад

Love the Terminator theme. I had one for about five years. I've also had a 7v for five years before that. My experience of the fancy sculpted Floyd on both guitars is that they don't return to pitch. I bought a Jackson with a flat plate Floyd and it is bullet proof. It comes out of the case. it's still in tune. I do a two hour gig abusing the whammy doing 80's Rock, it stays in tune. It goes in it's case in tune. If I ever tune it, it has got cold and warmed up. The other thing I didn't like about the Satch was that the knobs make a massive clank through the body when you push or pull them. I had a luthier lower the nut by about 0.5mm to make the action right. I did love it. But gigging it every weekend for five years highlighted the problems I found with it. My Jackson is bulletproof. Sounds amazing. Coil tap on the blade switch. Just fantastic.

@christopherbuck7679 29 дней назад

I’ve got 2 540 sabres with the wizard neck and Ibanez c series pickups, they have custom inlaid on the neck. I would never let them go. I think JS used to play that model at one time. They can play any music style and are magical.

@SouthpawSatch Месяц назад

I own a lefty JS1200. I was so lucky to get one of the few left handed ones out there. It plays like a dream and become one of my main guitars instantly. John, you should definitely look into getting a JS model of your own. There's quite a few variations and I'm sure you will find one with the specs you like

@clives555 Месяц назад

I'm still loving the RG, you're right about the Floyd though, complete pain the arse but lots of fun

@Chris_Mckean Месяц назад

I play in a function/pub band and use the newer purple JS. I initially used it for rock stuff and my Tele for everything else, but there's so many tonal possibilities it's ended up being my main guitar. And yes, the newer ones have the treble bleed and the added bonus of 24 frets.

@picksalot1 Месяц назад

Long ago, I tried a Treble Bleed on my Strat a couple of times, but never really got on with it. Having it be easily switched on or off makes it something worth reconsidering. 🤔 Thanks

Yes.. All the new versions of the JS series have the high pass filter in the Vol pot. Those without the Sustaniac have the coil split.

I absolutely love the JS1200. It has been my favourite guitar for a few years. Recently I got a Jeff Beck Stratocaster which is competing for top spot in my (fairly small) guitar collection. They are not too dissimilar. Well, they are both guitars. ;-) The JS1200 has more sustain, I can play lightly and it lends itself to faster playing without being as extreme as an RG. (I have two RG, an original 1992 RG570 and a gorgeous J Custom). The strat demands that I use more vibrato to keep notes ringing, is very sensitive to when I dig a little more into the strings with the pick. Both are capable of screaming harmonics with a slight advantage to the JS. The JB Strat shines in providing incredible tuning stability during trem abuse, just with its roller but and locking tuners, which are a breeze to set up and tune compared to the JS's more advanced trem. And although it's a "Jeff Beck" strat; it can easily do Hendrix or Gilmour-esque souds. But overall, two dream machines that I feel lucky and blessed to own and play. You, John Nathan, are an amazing player. I listen to your videos more for your playing than for your talking. I am going to shop on your BandCamp page today!

@daysleeper3910 Месяц назад

I got a 1000 after owning a 100 for years.... The TB is fantastic and opens the door to a whole diff. palate. After I set it up properly it just doesn’t go out of tune.... like ever…even if I don’t play it for a week, its insane!. It’s consistently the 'best' sounding and playing instrument I have.... And Ive got a few. ;) And it sounds fantastic through EVERY amp Ive pugged it in to. If you ever wondered what a 'Strat' would be if Ferrari/Lamborghini made it....or indeed Ibanez (The S Type was the origin of the JS line) Here you go, fantastic guitars!.

My main axe for a good 10 years or so was my Ibanez Prestige RG1820x which has a Piezo bridge. It was very versatile and served me well in gigs. Thing is, I am just too old now and tired of the intricate process in restringing, intonating, and tuning it. It was just taxing. I just keep it in the storage room now, sort of its retirement phase now. My main guitar at the moment is a PRS SE Standard 24 08 and I never looked back. Plays the same, if not better, than my Ibby and waayy easier to maintain and tune up on stage.

@Malediction99 Месяц назад

I have an old EX370FM that I bought using money from my first real job because I was a huge Satriani fan and wanted something like his signature Ibanez. Of all the guitars I've owned since it still has the most comfortable neck. It has been played to death but one day I'll resurrect it.

@coreybray9834 Месяц назад

I could have sworn that the Js1200 had an Ibanez Edge in it, not a Floyd Rose. I used to own one, but the wife made me sell it. Great axe. Although, I’ve taken a fancy to the Kiko Lerairo Ibanez these days. But, there was something subtle and special about the neck pickup on the JS1200. It added what sounded to me to be like highlight hollow overtones to notes when you had the right amount of grit dialed in.

The pickups sounded like they had a really chesty cold - full of phlegm - magic guitar

My big problem with top end guitars in general is how much they have gone up in price since covid.
