Satch's other

This is an obscure model, Ibanez's JS700, but the simplicity is sheer attraction. If you think Joe Satriani is averse to single coils, then this guitar proved otherwise. It's utilized in his red, self-titled album for more bluesy voicings.Ibanez tend to get carried away with their dual action bridges, they should offer a healthy alternative of fixed bridge models. Agree?

P-90s are single coils :-)

reuel said...

oh haha but are they similar in tone?? or are they fatter than the standard single coils??

P-90s sound fatter, thicker in the bottom frequencies. if they sound exactly like a typical single coil, then there's no point in its existence. some of us love the single coil snap but as it is, the average single coil is quite devoid of the low frequencies, the P-90 fills the gap between a typical single coil & the humbucker :-)
