The pride of Ibanez. Their Japanese models are made for a single purpose: to give you the most powerful and capable sonic weapon you could ever dream of. Made to exacting standards by Ibanez's most celebrated luthiers, these music machines excel in every way a guitar can. Crafted in Japan, the level of detail and uniqueness in each model is unmatched. From the headstock to the strap button, expect nothing short of world-class quality.
Signature shred pickups
There'll be pandemonium. Literally. Strauss's signature DiMarzio humbucker, the Pandemonium, is a roaring, high-octane powerhouse, capable of pumping out crushing riffs with almost alarming precision. With two of these explosive magnets at your disposal, you'll be able to pummel your way through the mix. Expect rhythm licks and chords to be ultra-tight and defined, whilst lead will flow smoothly, with a highly saturated and fluid feel. The True Velvet single coil in the middle then bridges the gap by offering a sparky, single coil tone. From screaming solos the chunky chugs, nothing can stand in your way when you're armed with these.
Shred neck
A special JIVA neck design makes moving up and down the fretboard incredibly quick and smooth, which is perfect for shredding. Being made from maple and wenge wood, it also adds plenty of bright tonal quality, resonance, and sustain to this guitar's voicing. Combined with a bound ebony fretboard, the neck woods add heaps of snap to the guitar's tone, which will add punch and clarity to high gain settings.
Edgy vibrato
The Edge II locking tremolo system installed on this guitar will give you just that, letting you inject your riffs with endless vibrato. From screeching divebombs to shimmering chords, you can really spice things up using this device, with your tuning stability remaining firmly intact. Time to take to the stage.
The Siren of Shred
It would be unfair to call Nita Strauss a rising star any longer. She has well and truly made her impact on the world by showcasing her virtuosic talent on guitar. Known for shredding and technical prowess, her musical journey has seen her perform with the likes of Alice Cooper, the Iron Maidens, and many, many more big names. As such, it was only right that her signature was fit for a queen of shred, and it is built to accommodate all manner of aggressive playing techniques. Prepare to be inspired.
Premium hardshell case included
Protection for life. The world class Ibanez hardshell case will keep this prestigious instrument safe forevermore. Featuring a strong, durable design and a beautiful aesthetic, it's the perfect tool for taking your guitar to and from gigs and rehearsals.
