Ibanez JIVA10 Nita Strauss Signature in Deep Space Blonde

Alice Cooper, The Iron Maidens (internationally renowned Iron Maiden tribute act), and Femme Fatale all have one thing in common: guitar virtuoso Nita Strauss. The session-guitarist supreme has made a hell of a name for herself over the past 15 years, with her high-octane guitar chops and superior musicality making her one of the most sought-after players in the industry - and she now even has her own Signature Series Ibanez!

The Ultimate Modern Metal Guitar

With the Ibanez JIVA10 you get an incredibly built, lightweight, hard-rocking guitar that's designed to offer the very best playing experience, whatever your play style. Built to satisfy the playing needs rock goddess Nita Strauss, the JIVA10 would make a fantastic centre-piece to any guitar enthusiast's collection.

Custom-Voiced Pickups

Specially designed by DiMarzio in collaboration with Nita, the Pandemonium neck and bridge humbuckers are a perfect example of "Modern Pickups Done Correctly". Voiced to work perfectly with the JIVA10's tonewoods, these pickups offer a wide, versatile array of tones, especially with the True Velvet single coil pickup thrown into the mix in the centre-position.

With the neck-position Pandemonium you get a pickup with coils that are tuned far enough apart to create clean, open mids with sweet highs and lows. Whether you want to play a smooth solo, or an array of pristine, dynamic chords, this pickup will deliver.

Sitting between both humbuckers is an awesome True Velvet Middle Position single coil. The best vintage single-coil pickups have always emphasised a "sweet spot" that gives you a bright sound which is never too piercing, and the DiMarzio True Velvet is expertly tuned to this spot!

In the bridge position, you get a humbucker that is a modern take on a classic rock pickup, with a huge voice that covers a lot of ground. Tuned to capture both solid lows and warm highs, the Pandemonium Bridge Model is ideal for both power chords and face-melting leads.

Super Fast Neck

As with all Ibanez guitars that are built to shred, the JIVA10 features a neck and fretboard that your fingers can glide over with ease. Specially designed to offer the best of both playability and stability, this 3pc Maple/Purpleheart neck fits nicely into your hand and allows fast and easy access to every corner of the fretboard.

Edge Zero II Bridge

The Ibanez JIVA10 features an Edge-Zero II tremolo bridge with Gotoh MG-T locking machineheads and Cosmo Black hardware finishing puts a contrasting touch on this versatile tone machine. As always with Ibanez guitars, the end result is exceptional tuning stability, precise intonation adjustment and unrivalled comfort.
