Ibanez Jiva Jr - Nita Strauss' Latest Affordable, Highly Spec'd Signature Guitar In Deep Sea Blonde!

[@john564holloway]

Great demo, as always, Dagan. I'd definitely ROCK this Jr and the main Jiva. You covered every spec there is.

[@jalmodov7817]

I just figured out why Dagan is so charming. He's like a real life version of Captain Jack Sparrow!

[@luisangelperez9469]

Sans the smell I hope

[@paddytguitar]

He just looks like him doesn’t act like him

Wow, I’m sure this is the first time anyone has said this

[@jat6291]

Yesss!!!! Thats what it is for sure!

[@gilbertotoledo1421]

After Ibanez discontinued the S670 this is the closest thing to that. Having missed out on the S670 I am not going to miss out on this beautiful guitar.

[@kornklone]

They really need to release a green one. Her green guitar is gorgeous

[@damiankelly9902]

Nita strauss is awesome and so is her guitar. This is going to be a great video dagan

[@suetruett3812]

I really, really, really want one of these guitars, love the look, sound and most everything about them..Especially since Dagan made it sound sooooo gooood... Great job..

[@Enlil404]

I can gladly say I own one and absolutely love it 👍

[@frankiechan9651]

Good to see that Ibanez haven't cheaped out like they did on the Jem Jr. The proper Edge Zero2 is an amazing bonus over the much cheaper trem used on the Jem Jr and as you say, a pickup change and you're about good to go for full-fat Jiva goodness. (or some Fluence Moderns - although that body may be too thin for a push-pull voicing change - may have to go mini-toggles) The neck - it's one-piece? I guess asking for a multi-laminate neck/full Wizard neck is a bit too much for the budget version - I can live with that though.

[@LocrianDorian]

Agreed, I really wish Jem Jr wasn't such garbage. Though, it can be improved, but really needs a trem upgrade. From the reviews I've seen this doesn't seem to have the best quality control either, but it's easily fixable without needing to buy new parts. Pickups are fine.

[@robvickers8349]

hey dude, im from the northneast aswell, i love your revivews and the way u play

[@willmarshall9375]

Superb Dagen, I thank you for yet another outstanding review. How am I ever going to choose a guitar when they are all so good.

[@creamydistortion]

Is your mom gay too?

[@pyrate85]

Fantastic demo, man. This will be my next guitar sometime later this year. I liked the Deep Space Blonde finish on the original, but I love the Deep Sea Blonde on the Jr. Just a great color for this guitar . I've never wanted a guitar with a locking tremolo until now. I'll probably save up and get the Dimarzio Pandemonium pickups later.

[@creamydistortion]

The finish looks weird, you can't see the outside part of the guitar + you're gay.

[@kennethkeown1175]

Great demo of a hot guitar with great looks and accessible price. You called it "astounding." That may be an understatement.

[@warlock1663]

I have been thinking about one, now Im getting one!!!

[@Sarvage1u]

i own few Ibanez , this are amazing machine, love it🤘👍👍👍

[@TheGalilee416]

Great demo 🤘

[@erikeue4635]

Maybe I missed it, but the fret markers on the top of the neck glow in the dark if you shine a flashlight on them from your phone or other source. Both Jivas have that feature. Great reviews

[@andrewtate8303]

That Rocks!🤘

[@kimblers]

I hope this guitar proves popular and they do a LH release.

[@MattHealey.]

amazing bit of Kit

[@andrewtate8303]

Nice 🤘

[@joedrew4884]

Jiva10 is an awesome guitar, not familiar with the Jr but there is also an X

[@b-stainton123]

Im selling mine. Trem was the deal breaker but also neck shape.

[@Styre69]

i really liked mine, only problem is it made me realize i am a hard tail guitar player. found i didnt like the feel of a trem system. ended up trading it towards my first gibson. if they made a hard tail version i would so get it.

[@Jamaicangurl81]

Yup! I bought this too and returned it for the trem too..

[@michaeldean7220]

Can you arrange for Nita to deliver one personally to my door please? :)

[@danielsantini4580]

🤯😎🥳🥳🥳what!! Sweet

[@beornthebear.8220]

For $800, this is great.

[@tenebroruncr4374]

I just returned the Jiva Jr. guitar. I tried it for 3 days and I used to realize that its price does not correspond to the low quality of the product. With Ibanez it is a lottery, I have a Rgx350 that came perfect to me and others with double and triple non-junk value. Very disappointed with the product. Bridge and tuners that come in the cheap Ibanez. And glue on many frets with dirt on mast.

[@misterblack6521]

I'm waiting for a prs orianthi signature model. If they ever make one.😁

[@Maybe_Its_Keira]

Eyyyyyy I'm early again. Hello from nz

[@smith8281]

Top end sounds fizzy and the bottom muddy. Is it the amp or guitar?

[@snakedude61]

Nice guitar. One comment it doesn't really matter. Watches go on your left. It's especially cringy swinging around on top of nice finishes.

[@pauldowlan3285]

Jiva Jr in the original (or close) dirty blonde .... Seriously looking at this Hey... who doesn't like a dirty blonde

[@ryant3600]

I got the original Jiva the green/tan one. I was so disappointed w/ it. The trem arm thread didn't line up w/ the thread on the trem collar. So i literally had to put it in a vice and and screw it on w/ locking pliars. Now I can take the arm off. But, that's how that went. The fret sprout was awful on it. Shredded my nylon test. Worst fret sprout I've ever had on a new guitar, even way worse than my cheaper Harley Bentons. Which is sad, since this guitar was a 1500 dollar guitar. Out side of that, its lovely. Thinking about the the jr and hoping mine original Jiva was just something that snuck past QC etc before being shipped out. I love the feel and weight and balance of the Jiva.. I'm getting more into these S series style Ibanez guitars. I have a lot of RG's, but these S bodies are nice...

[@mykkool]

I bought one on Reverb this week from G& D’s Guitar World. Very dissatisfied. The guitar buzzes like a cheap kazoo. Upon investigation the main issue is that the frets are not level, especially the second one- F#. Amazing that this cleared QC and that the seller did not disclose these flaws. I love Nita but the guitar I got is unacceptable.

[@zishantareque689]

6:33-6:40, anyone knows what song was that from?

[@aidanarevalo4762]

Did anyone else think of “M+M’s” by blink-182 when he played that lick in the beginning 😭😭

[@tritontransport]

I heard this thing is a bitch to mod with pandemonium pickups but is possible if you know what you’re doing but I don’t so it would probably end up costing me way more overall than just getting the JIVA 10 because I’d have to pay a shop to do it

[@countvertigo1788]

You’re going to scratch that guitar with your watch bracelet..

[@Barbarapape]

Strange combination for this Jr guitar, great trem let down by poor gritty pickups. At least compared to the Jem Jr, you won't need to upgrade the trem. Some day Ibanez will give us a Jr that does not suffer from spec cutting.

[@Styre69]

they gotta save money somewhere, kinda the point of a jr version...

[@Barbarapape]

@@Styre69 Very true, and this time only the pickups to upgrade, far easier than fitting a Floyd trem.

[@Barbarapape]

@Mark Seymour Ibanez pickups can be a mixed bag, some you can live with, others just don't do the guitar any favours.

[@SZUKI80]

Not even Dagan can be enthusiastic about this guitar.

[@seyhuns9802]

Dont like the sound, is not much versatile

[@martinclayton7260]
