JS blue maple

Joe Satriani is one of the participants in the Experience Hendrix tour in the recent 4 March, Santa Barbara CA slot. I'm not much of a Hendrix fan, maybe I just like his Fenders but the Ibanez JS model in this pic is really something of a custom make- maple fretboard, slider pickup selector & a 3-knob control set are some alien features in a JS make. Not to mention the 3 x single coil sized humbuckers in there which look unmistakably DiMarzio from afar.

Hi Sub,why do you think that Satch has 24 frets JS models only now?

Sorry,what I meant was that Satch was playing so many albums before without 24 fret guitars,why now the need?Any reason behind this?Just curious if you had this info.Thanks.

among the factors cited (in his youtube interview) for the current 24-fret experience, Satch wanted tonal variation.
