Ibanez JS240PS Joe Satriani Guitar Candy Apple Red B-Stock
The JS240PS captures the refined ergonomics and responsive playability that make Joe Satriani's signature model a studio workhorse, with a fast JS-profile neck and premium fret edge treatment that translates to clean tracking and articulate note definition in recordings. The Sustainiac system with Stealth PRO preamp transforms the guitar into an instrument capable of infinite sustain and harmonic control, enabling expressive layering and textural possibilities that elevate production depth and dimension. This B-stock example shows only a cosmetic paint blemish near the bridge—the guitar plays and sounds identically to new stock.
Playability & Recording Response
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 that captures clean articulation across multiple takes. The 25.5-inch scale and 1.654-inch nut width establish the ergonomic foundation that ensures consistent finger positioning and intonation lock, critical for tight rhythm parts and precise lead overdubs.
Tone & Studio Electronics
The DiMarzio Satchur8 bridge humbucker generates rich harmonics and articulate output across the frequency spectrum, sitting naturally in the mix with definition and punch. 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—perfect for building layered synth-like textures or infinite sustain pads. A dedicated high-pass filter push-pull on the volume control adds tonal shaping versatility for session-to-session adaptation, and the Edge double-locking tremolo maintains tuning stability through extensive whammy use without re-tuning between takes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and how does it affect this guitar?
B-Stock means the guitar is fully functional with only minor cosmetic imperfections—in this case, a small paint blemish near the bridge. Playability, tone, and structural integrity are completely unaffected, and the guitar includes full manufacturer warranty protection.
Is this guitar suitable for beginners?
No—the JS240PS is designed for intermediate, advanced, and professional players. The fast neck profile and Sustainiac system reward speed and technique mastery, making it better suited to players with solid fundamentals already in place.
What genres does this guitar work best for?
The JS240PS excels in rock, progressive, and hard rock, with particular strength in live performance and studio sessions that demand articulate sustain and dynamic control. It is not optimized for funk, folk, or jazz.
How does the Sustainiac system work, and what can it do?
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.
What pickup configuration does this guitar have?
The JS240PS features a DiMarzio Satchur8 bridge humbucker for lead tone and a Sustainiac driver neck pickup for sustain and harmonic effects. A dedicated high-pass filter push-pull on the volume control adds additional tonal shaping versatility.
