Nick Bowcott is backstage at Alice Cooper for an in-depth look at Nita Strauss' guitar rig, including Ibanez's first-ever signature guitar for a female artist. Enjoy!
Nita is an awesome person, got to meet her and see the Jiva first hand at NAMM this year. I love seeing an artist that is totally grateful for what they have.
Ibanez knocked a massive home run sighing Nita! Smart and well spoken, real down to earth. A perfect icon for the female market....and the males aren't going to complain!
Beautiful woman, great player, great taste in guitars, intelligent and down to earth...what a great role model! I like this burst because the black is a thin outline showcasing that gorgeous curly maple!
She's a decent player but without a pretty face tit's she's lost in the crowd. I'm not knocking her either but she's only a special guitarist because of her gender.
@@GlassTopRX7 uhm, no, you're either trolling or just jealous that she's a better guitarist than you'll ever be. She's far beyond being just "a decent" guitar player. Get real.
Nita is a simple full package guitarist, she knows her gear so good, so secure and confident and easy going girl, apart of her beauty, who won’t love her! Great interview moment, so talented, Just Rock N’ Roll 🤘🏽😎🎸👋🏽🇻🇪
I’m a more traditional Strat/Junior guy but that is the best looking Ibanez guitar ever. Watching her since the Maidens, she deserves a signature guitar more than anyone right now. Hope she sells millions. Congrats Nita!!!
Nick, you're such a great host for this series. Great questions and so unbelievably knowledgeable/well prepared. You let the artist take the lead, which is something other gear series lack. Keep it up!
i know Im asking randomly but does anybody know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost my login password. I love any assistance you can give me
@Korbyn Jasper thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Nita is the fricken best! How any guitarists speak so intelligibly and intelligently about their rig, their life, their music?! She simply kicks ass! And Nick Bowcott...this interview may be one of the best rig rundowns I have ever watched. Excellent!
Don't know very much about Nita's playing (not a Cooper fan), but she seems super knowledgable and down to earth. Seems like she'd be cool to chat with.
Got mine delivered postage free from Sweetwater with 3 mo split payments. Came with autographed photo and DiMarzio XL strings. Puut my SG away, modified for country twang and will use on the Willie tour. Super light and unbeatable sustain, gain and crunch. Thanks Nita now go take penmanship classes. Waiting on your cd I preordered.
Nita is an awesome guitarist. I have bought one of her signature Ibanez Jiva10 guitars from Sweetwater and I love this guitar! It sounds awesome with my Fractal!
You are awesome. I had one of the first schecter hellraiser hybrids FR, in trans black quilt, it was heavy as hell, and a great guitar. Wish I still had it. I've checked later years, weren't as good. This body looks about the same, it's got to be great. Congrats.
Hello, Art! We are now taking pre-orders for these. Let me know if you would like to reserve a spot in line! My contact info is below. Thanks for the interest! Kevin Spunde, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1732
I get her view on bolt-ons. I haven't tried a neck-through in years, but set necks don't make the guitar body vibrate as well as a bolt-on neck does. I have no idea if it affects the tone, but it feels nice to have the guitar resonate through your body while you play!
Yeah, not saying it does affect the tone, but I feel bolt-on necks make the entire guitar vibrate more than set-neck or neck-thru guitars. I might just be imagining that though
I will never use a neck through neck i play Ibanez RG4EX1 RG920 and i play 9s with a 40 to 9 nita you rule you're such a nice person and a great player And I've been looking for a rocktron rack they don't make them anymore But I'm looking 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I have an Ibanez Paul Gilbert Fireman that is a great guitar, but it has plain old dots for fret markers. I wish Paul would have come up with something cool for the fretboard like Nita did.
I've see his interview with her and he far from maintained his composure speaking to her to the point it was a little painful listening to him speak and try to string coherent sentences together. She on the other hand dealt with his painful awkwardness in stride which was the only redeeming factor of the interview.
I thought the same things about d'adderio xyxl strings till I was recommended the extended life nickel plated natural feel X XT D'adderio. And will never go back
Awesome interview! Love the guitar Nita! I hope someday I can have a signature Ibanez! Love am! You just keep knocking it out of the park! I'd like to see an interview with Kirk Hammet and James Hatfield! 🔥🎸🤘
I thought she had the red guitar out as a signature model?... Or was it just made for her and not as a production model or something?... - Anyway, she does have very likable guitars. Even compared to Satch's, Vai's, or Li's, from the Ibanez signatures, I'd probably go with hers, personally. :) - Well, Joe's setup now, with the 24 frets and adjusted pickup makes it hard to choose. - But nicely designed guitars, for sure.
Actually as a novice guitar 🎸 player you don't need to worry about anything other than learning to play the type of music you like. Interest in special equipment, setups, etc and so forth will develop naturally as you understand what makes you happy and better understand what you want in an instrument to better suit your needs and learn the vocabulary naturally as you progress.
