Why We Love This Product!

Play Satriani's Acoustic Guitar!

This is the acoustic guitar Joe Satriani uses! The JSA5BK is Joe's signature acoustic, made to be extremely comfortable to play... that way it's not such a rough transition from a rip-roaring electric to a potentially bulky acoustic. To make it comfortable, Ibanez and Joe decided on a thinner jumbo-style body... you still get that huge tone, but you don't feel like you're wrapping your arms around a massive stuffed animal or something. The JSA5BK just "fits." Plus, the cool-looking cutaway gets your hands allllllll the way up into the upper frets so you can colonize that territory too.

As far as tonewoods go, the Ibanez JSA5BK combines a mahogany body with a solid Engelmann spruce top... that means you've got plenty of power, but an element of warmth/sweetness too. Nice. To round things out and get you ready to plug in and perform onstage (just like Joe does all the time), the JSA5BK features a Fishman Presys pickup with an onboard tuner.
