Good thing that the baby came and switched to the middle and bridge pickups. We were able to hear how they sound. John rarely does that. :)

[@fivewattworld]

Élodie knows best

[@johnnathancordy]

Wait I'm always on the bridge pickup for high gain leads! But yeh she also switched to the neck for the very end...super handy baby!

[@jorgemlcosta]

For those considering a 22 vs 24 fret JS: the 22 fret model has symmetrical upper/lower horns, 42 mm nut width and a passive neck pickup (PAF Pro on JS1000, PAF Joe on JS1200). The 24 fret JS has a thinner lower horn, 43 mm nut width, and the latest JS2480/JS1CR30 comes with a sustainiac neck pickup that is active and rolls off high end and harmonics , it does not sound as good as the neck pickup on the JS1000/1200 in my opinion. The old ones go for half the price of the new ones in the second hand market.

[@basildog007]

Please stop making me want to buy more guitars... For the love of God. No, not the Vai either.

[@MelbourneGuitarGuy]

I recently bought a 2010 JS1000BP and out of 35 guitars I own, the JS is probably my favourite

[@joehoppard814]

What a beautiful moment. Your child is clearly fascinated by your playing. I found it quite moving, actually. Wonderful playing, as always.

[@Soloist1983]

I knew you would find your way to one of these. I've scoured the used market for the preceding model, the Ibanez 540R, basically the model that became the JS. I absolutely love them, they do the strat thing for me. I've 5 of them right now, all I've got for somewhere between $250-700. Though they are getting harder to find in good shape. The JS's are great, just have even more of a strat-like neck, which I think is a great thing, also the JS1000 first appeared in 1994, they had a black pearl, white, and trans burnt blue finish. All of them are fantastic. Also, if you can find a 540R, you essentially get the same thing but with a wider, flatter, in some cases, neck. A lot of 540R's shipped with Ultra necks, VERY comfy, thicker neck, though some also came with Wizards, which are thinner, definitely playable, but not as comfy as the Ultra's of that era (19.5-21.5mm thickess on the Ultra). Anyway, cheers, maybe we'll see you with another on your channel at some point :)

[@cemsarioglu5947]

I bought my JS 1000 in 2005 and still love it. So versatile and easy instrument to play for long hours. Great playing by the way. Cheers!

[@JohnNathanCordyFactBot-br8is]

According to the John Cordy Wetness Scale, an Ibanez is a sloppy third.

What a tasteful plying that was mate … I have js1000 in pearl black which is not much appealing imo.. thinking it getting done this lovely red or muscle car orange .. still contemplating which colour should I go for 😊

[@SouthpawSatch]

I have an '09 first run left handed Ibanez JS 1200L. Absolutely love it. John, you should one of the hardtail Ibanez JS models

[@rsmallfield]

I’ve wondered about something like this for the Jeff Beck style I’ve been working on, as my Strat’s a bit thin sounding for my tastes and goes out of tune more easily - even though it’s what JB played. I always liked Satch’s occasional clean tones, so although I’m no shredder, I can see the functional benefits of that style of guitar, regardless of genre.

[@fedboy21]

I used to have red js 1200 and a blue jem too back in the days...totally agree with ur comment. This guitar is one of ibanez versatile guitar, better than jem in playability. I remembered when i first got this guitar and playing it, it feels like home. Which i mean im a fender strat user and this 1200 js have a neck almost similar like strat. So its easier to play for me than the jem

[@diatarussoulbane]

The unmistakable airy and midrange oomph of the js1200 makes it a bucket list axe for me.

[@alien4422]

Great guitars, but these artist guitars have me wondering how much Satch and Vai are getting from the sale of their artist guitars given how expensive they are in comparison to similar guitars.

[@matteomidas638]

This guitar blew me away This pedal blew me away This amp blew me away Everything blews me away. 😂 😂 😂

[@jakollee]

Elodie is adorable (as others have already mentioned), and so glad to hear the doggie is doing better! Years ago, I played a JS Ibanez which looked exactly like that in a guitar store. I really liked the way it played, but didn’t buy it because it was a little too flashy looking for me, and I’m not a dive bomber so the locking nut just felt uncomfortable (and was a little intimidating, TBH).

[@newmorningrecords]

This little guy knows when it's time to change pickup!! 😃

[@roryt1985]

Treble bleed mods are extremely under utilised

[@DarthV506]

Great playing guitars, but after owning Ibanezes (??) with the AANJ, I could never get comfortable high up on the fretboard with the old heel. I have a couple S (1993 s540ltd and s5470), love how comfortable they are.

[@captainfruitbatify]

Is it a coincidence that, while I'm watching this video, Facebook popped up a memory that 5 years ago today, I was watching Joe Satriani play at the Power Station in Auckland, NZ? I had a JS1200 in the same colour as yours - never should have sold it.

[@Rackoushine]

awesome soloing dude!

[@dividedbytimestudios]

Have you played Musicman on your channel? Like the Cutlass? Or Sabre? I’m not a huge Ibanez fan, but I do love the AZ series, I haven’t had a chance to really play one, but the AZ2204 prestige seems like a great guitar, I’d swap pickups, I feel Ibanez never got the pickup thing right. The Jiva looked cool, I tried one, didn’t like it, You should tell K-Line to get you an HSS version for your channel, I’d like to see that

[@vinnyp2115]

Love my 1200…❤❤ I can play it for hours without any fatigue at all… I’ve seen me do it! LOL

[@andrewmilligan6730]

Had one. Also have an S470 (same concept albeit a little thinner and made from mahogany. Never jelled with it, sold it, and I still feel RGs just sit better on the body.

[@nigelwilliams3311]

Your little one is adorable!

[@ksharpe10]

It still does not beat that 53 tele of Jakes, that Guitar!!!!!!!!! Elodie for the win!!!!!!!!!! In 10 years she will show DAD how to play!!!!!!!!

[@Nako6009]

really like the split positions on this guitar!

[@markharmon9892]

I got a JS2410 then 2480 and ended up with a JS1000 this year.... Stunning guitars!

[@FreaquedeMusique]

That intro song was absolutely incredible. Anyway we can get the backing track for that?

[@ianmcelroy5772]

First guitarists used midi for automatic tone changes, but now they’re using babies!?!? There’s got to be a better option.

[@NedJeffery]

I have a 7mnth old that is obsessed with my Gretsch. Loves climbing all over it and playing with the knobs. Doesn't care about my other ones.

[@ericmenu5408]

I love my JS1200 ! Thank you for this video, I want to play it now :)

[@alguitarchristie]

I tried his first signature guitar at the end of the 80's and it played and sounded great, but I didn't like the colours or the rounded shape. I got a Charvel instead. Maybe I should check the new ones out.

[@jessenicholson1777]

These old JS’s are great guitars. As you say, extremely versatile. The funny thing is that all the features that make is so good are exactly what the typical Ibanez fan doesn’t want. Oh well, their loss.

[@arnoldmendez710]

Not only did Baby switch pickups, but also rolled down the Vol control for the perfect outro..

[@metalex1708]

Tempting 😍I own a JS20S which is one of my favorite guitars, because of its playability

[@sacredgodslayer]

Your son knows his dad's awesome!

[@Shiznitt_]

I tried one at my local music shop and it had a much larger neck than I expected. Very comfortable

[@lyricbread]

Recently picked up an Ibanez JS6 (fixed bridge version of that guitar) and I can’t put it down. Sustain for days and the neck is just about perfect for me.

[@jorgemlcosta]

Great catch! Super rare nowadays. I have a JS6000 (among other JSs lol).

[@briumphbimbles]

I think the satch ibanezes are one of the few that escaped the "great widening" mistake of the early 2000s where they started adding an extra 2 mm on the width of the neck turning them from some of the nicest necks on guitars to some of the most average. The first nitro wizards with the skunk stripe for me were the perfect thin neck profile. So gorgeous.

[@Babs42]

My first guitar wasn’t Ibanez RG 270 I think it was and I was like that neck.

[@daievans2637]

2000's ? I have a 91 RG560 , and a 90 RG570 both with original wizard necks......Wide AF , they mostly have always been wide

[@hootowl6354]

I like wide.

[@jessenicholson1777]

@@daievans2637they traditionally had the same nut and heel width as a typical modern Strat. They may seem really wide because the necks are so thin, so proportionally they’re very wide. What is being mentioned though is increasing the heel width from 56 to 58mm in 2003. So the necks feel even wider than they did back in the day.

[@sacredgeometry]

They were 56mm at the 12th fret now all of the are 58mm. Yes they were wide but they were at the limit of what was comfortable and they pushed passed that. I have owned RGs with almost all their major periods of necks.

When my oldest daughter was a baby and learning to wallk, she was about to fall down and grabbed the selector switch nob. Embarrasing! I thought my JS100 was broken because I had never seen a pickup selector on a nob before. I erroneously left a negative review of the JS100 on Musicians Friend. 🤢
