Over at Ultimate-Guitar.com, the Ibanez JS1200 electric guitar gets a review, which (as usual) is an extremely positive one. Well, 9.8 out of 10 does indicate that, right?

Anyway, most Ibanez JS1000 owners would probably be familiar with most of the JS1200’s features since this Joe Satriani signature guitar comes with almost the same specifications, e.g. 22 frets, basswood body, rosewood board, JS Prestige neck, DiMarzio® Fred® Humbucker pickups, etc.

The few differences between the JS1200 and its older sibling include Paf Joe neck pickups (instead of Paf Pro), chrome hardware (rather than black) and the JS1200’s color-matched headstock.

So, how does the JS1200 fare? If the rating didn’t tell you everything, this should: “Personally I play a lot of Metallica, Led Zepplein, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, Velvet Revolver, Megadeth, RHCP, Steve Vai etc. Well, this guitar is fun and plays well with most of these songs, but for those that dont go too well with this guitar, I usually substitute a Stratocaster for that. Well, I love the versatility in playing this guitar. Its thin neck allows for fast action, its medium-small but solid body for comfort. Well, I wish it had a beverage holder other than that it has everything!”

Of course, you’ll have to be ready to pay “just a little bit extra” since you are buying a signature series guitar.

Another awesome guitar by Ibanez gets reviewed, and this time, it’s the JS1200. Shape-wise, you’ll probably need some time to get used to it, but other than that, you are looking at a solid basswood-body guitar that could probably “…withstand a hammer throw….” (don’t try it though).

While its construction, reliability and durability are pretty much unquestionable, it seems that the Ibanex JS1200 is one of those guitars that just sparks the love in you because it scores a 9.8 out of 10 overall rating, and some highly effusive praise: “Well, I love the versatility in playing this guitar. Its thin neck allows for fast action, its medium-small but solid body for comfort. Well, I wish it had a beverage holder other than that it has everything!”
