Sound & Tone
The DiMarzio custom humbuckers at bridge and neck push an aggressive, tightly focused attack with firm lows, while the True Velvet single-coil in the middle opens up glassy, shimmering cleans and quacky in-between positions for cleaner passages. African mahogany with a quilted maple top and an ebony fingerboard lend warmth underneath with a crisp, articulate top end, and the 25.5" scale keeps string tension taut for defined low notes and clear high-fret lines. Built for modern rock and metal lead work, with the Edge Zero II double-locking tremolo holding pitch through heavy vibrato and dive bombs, though the single-coil position gives it enough range for funk and clean rhythm work.
Ibanez JIVA10 Nita Strauss Guitar Deep Space Blonde B-Stock
The JIVA10 delivers a slim, fast neck profile built for tracking articulate lead passages and complex riffs with precision. Its and balanced ergonomics reduce fatigue during marathon studio sessions, enabling tight, repeatable takes across multiple passes. The Deep Space Blonde finish—a gray burst on natural quilted maple—pairs visual character with the professional-grade construction and hardware that supports demanding recording workflows.
Playability & Feel
The Wizard III 3-piece Maple/Purpleheart neck provides exceptional stability and a fast playing surface across all 24 jumbo frets on the ebony fingerboard. With a 25.5" scale length, 15.7" neck radius, and 1.69" nut width, this guitar excels at capturing clean, repeatable performances; the slim neck profile and "Beaten Path" EKG-style position markers with luminescent side dots ensure confident navigation in studio lighting and enable consistent intonation and positioning across takes.
Tone & Recording Versatility
The HSH pickup configuration pairs DiMarzio custom humbuckers at the bridge and neck with a DiMarzio True Velvet single-coil in the middle, capturing aggressive attack and tight lows alongside crystalline cleans and responsive midrange control—essential for layering guitar parts with definition in a mix. The Edge Zero II double-locking tremolo holds tuning rock-solid through vibrato effects and extreme pitch bends, while 1 Master Volume and 1 Master Tone control keep the signal path direct, predictable, and responsive to pick dynamics.
