In the case of this guitar, it is the signature model of Joe Satriani, whose influence on modern guitar playing perhaps needs no introduction.
The body of this guitar is made of alder wood. The neck, which is bolted to the body, consists of three pieces of maple and bubinga woods, which makes its construction more stable and has better sustain. It features a rosewood fingerboard with twenty-four frets and mother-of-pearl dots. The gauge of the instrument is 648 mm, the zero fret measures 42 mm.
The sound of the instrument is captured through two DiMarzio humbuckers, which can be switched between using a three-position switch. When the tone control is pulled out, the electronics allow the humbuckers to be expanded, making a total of six different sounds available. In addition to the tone shield and switch, there is a volume control on the body of the guitar.
The strings are anchored by an EDGE double-turn tremolo with locks and there are also zero fret locks, so the tones can be bent at will. The hardware is chrome plated.
Extra care has been taken in the manufacture of this guitar in Japan. If you're looking for an instrument that is inherent to the guitar greats, you should definitely come check this guitar out.
