Achieve Unstoppable Momentum

Strap on the Ibanez JS240PS, and you’ll achieve unstoppable momentum. This top-of-the-line Satriani-style electric guitar is the perfect platform for next-level fretboard pyrotechnics, thanks to its ultra-fast-playing 3-piece maple/purpleheart JS neck. Ibanez's Prestige fret edge treatment only adds to the fluid feel of this guitar. Whether you’re executing warp-speed legato runs or wild arpeggio tapping techniques, you’ll appreciate the harmonic-drenched high-output tones of the JS240PS’s DiMarzio Satchur8 bridge humbucker, while a Sustainiac circuit stretches your notes into infinity. You also get a push-pull highpass filter for keeping your tone when your volume is rolled back. An Edge Tremolo rounds out the Ibanez JS240PS’s impressive feature set.

Thin, rigid neck and treated frets for maximum playability

You'll find that the JS neck profile on the JS240PS gives you a solid fretting foundation while allowing you to play as fast as you like. It's a 3-piece maple/purpleheart neck too, which is more rigid than 1-piece neck and transfers vibration better. And no matter how fast you shred, you won't shred your fingers — the medium frets (a favorite of guitarists here at Sweetwater) on the JS240PS have received Ibanez's Prestige treatment, which smooths down the edges for an amazingly fluid feel.

DiMarzio humbucker and Sustainiac circuit deliver unlimited tonal versatility

Whatever tone you're searching for, you'll be able to achieve it with the Ibanez JS240PS. Its DiMarzio Satchur8 bridge humbucker serves up glorious high-output tones with loads of harmonics and definition. A Sustainiac pickup in its neck features a special circuit that lets notes ring on as long as you like. Just kick in the Sustainiac circuit, play a note or chord, and prepare yourself for infinite sustain.

Highpass filter enhances highs when you roll your volume down

If working your volume knob is a big part of your playing style you'll love this — the volume control on the JS240PS houses a push-pull highpass filter. It prevents you from losing your high-frequency edge when you've got your volume rolled back. This lets you keep your definition and edge when you're cleaning up your tone, then easily switch to full-bore tone when you want to send your amp into overdrive territory.

Rated 4/5

Good for the money

Honestly, I hadn't realized this guitar was not MIJ and was very disappointed. Having said that, it is a great guitar and I need to re-visit my biases. Love the action. Love the hardware. Electronics are top notch. No idea what wood they bound the neck with, but it is georgious. I'm happy, in spite of the news that it is MII
Rated 1/5

Worst neck I have ever seen on a new guitar that I’ve purchased. Overall workmanship is horrible.

The fretwork on this guitar makes it look like it's 20 years old. Horrible for any guitar, even worse for a guitar that Ibanez calls 'Premium" and that costs $... Completely and utterly disappointed. There's other minor cosmetic issues: paint by neck joint is missing, the input Jack was rough/bumpy and isn't completely painted, same for under both backplates.

The guitar sounds great, too bad the workmanship was less than stellar.
