Ibanez JS100 Joe Satriani Signature 2002 Korean Transparent Red Electric Guitar

2002 Ibanez JS100 Joe Satriani Signature – Transparent Red – Made in Korea

2002 | Korean Made | Lo-TRS II Tremolo | Used

A great-looking example of the Ibanez JS100 Joe Satriani Signature, finished in a striking Transparent Red that allows the grain of the body to show through.

Dating from 2002, this Korean-made JS100 features the sleek, contoured body shape that has made the Joe Satriani signature range so recognisable, along with a comfortable maple neck, rosewood fingerboard and twin humbucker configuration.

This earlier example is fitted with the Ibanez Lo-TRS II double-locking tremolo, the system used on the JS100 before the introduction of the Edge Pro II in 2003. It’s a great opportunity to pick up an older Korean-built Satriani model with plenty of character.

The two Ibanez humbuckers offer a versatile range of sounds, from clear, expressive lead tones to powerful rock rhythm sounds, while the comfortable neck and sculpted body make the JS100 enjoyable to play.

Condition

This 2002 example presents very nicely overall for a guitar now over two decades old, with its rich red finish retaining an attractive shine.

As you’d expect from a guitar of this age, there are signs of previous use, including light surface scratches, some general cosmetic wear and a small ding to the back of the neck.

There are also some noticeable chips to the side/edge of the body, which we’ve photographed clearly. These are cosmetic rather than structural.

The guitar arrived with a set of unusual red-coloured strings fitted. They make an interesting visual addition and we’ve decided to leave them on for the next owner, although they would benefit from being replaced.

Please study the photographs, which form part of the description and show the actual guitar available.
