Ibanez JS240PS Joe Satriani Guitar Candy Apple Red B-Stock
The JS240PS rewards speed and precision with the refined ergonomics and responsive playability that define Joe Satriani's signature model—a fast JS-profile neck paired with premium fret edge treatment engineered for both lead technique and harmonic control. The Sustainiac system with Stealth PRO preamp transforms the guitar into an instrument capable of infinite sustain and expressive harmonic layering, unlocking creative possibilities unavailable on conventional designs. This B-stock example shows only a cosmetic paint blemish near the bridge—the guitar plays and sounds identically to new stock.
Playability & Build
The three-piece maple and purpleheart neck is reinforced with titanium rods for exceptional stability and durability, while the 24-fret panga panga fingerboard with white dot markers provides a smooth, fast playing surface. The 25.5-inch scale and 1.654-inch nut width establish the ergonomic foundation that makes the JS platform so efficient for lead work and extended technique.
Tone & Electronics
The DiMarzio Satchur8 bridge humbucker generates rich harmonics and articulate output across the frequency spectrum, while the Sustainiac neck driver controlled by push-pull switches on both tone and 3-way toggle allows seamless selection between harmonic, normal, or mixed sustain modes. A dedicated high-pass filter push-pull on the volume control adds tonal shaping versatility, and the Edge double-locking tremolo maintains tuning stability through aggressive whammy use.

The Sustainiac driver (neck pickup) is controlled via push-pull switches on the tone and 3-way toggle, offering harmonic, normal, or mixed sustain modes. This allows infinite sustain and harmonic control beyond what a conventional pickup can deliver, enabling both traditional lead playing and avant-garde sustain-based exploration.
