Sound & Tone
The mahogany body with quilted maple top and ebony fingerboard give this a warm foundation with tight, articulate attack, and the DiMarzio custom humbuckers at neck and bridge push thick, focused high-gain tones that stay clear under heavy distortion. The True Velvet single-coil in the middle position opens up brighter, glassier clean and split-style voices for arpeggios and rhythm work, widening the range beyond straight-ahead rock and metal. With a 648 mm scale, 24 frets and the Edge Zero II double-locking tremolo, it holds pitch through aggressive vibrato and dive-bomb playing, making it well suited to fast lead lines, shred phrasing and tight modern rhythm parts.
Ibanez JIVA10 Nita Strauss Signature Electric Guitar Deep Space Blonde B-Stock
The JIVA10 is a fast, responsive instrument built around the refined S-series body design—lightweight, contoured, and engineered for extended reach and fluid movement across the fretboard. Nita Strauss's signature model channels her virtuosic approach to rock and metal, combining a meticulously voiced pickup trio with a platform designed to handle both rhythmic precision and high-speed lead work. In the studio and on stage, this guitar captures articulate highs, defined mids, and powerful lows—essential tools for tracking tight rhythm parts, soaring solos, and layered textures. This B-stock unit represents the full specification of Ibanez's collaboration with one of modern rock's most dynamic performers.
Playability & Recording Comfort
The three-piece Maple and Purpleheart neck pairs with a 24-fret ebony fingerboard and delivers immediate responsiveness with comfortable access across all frets. A 43 mm nut width, 648 mm scale length, and total weight of create an instrument that feels balanced and efficient during extended recording sessions and live takes, while the "Beaten Path" EKG-style position markers and luminescent side dots provide clear visual reference in any lighting condition—critical for precision work on camera or under studio lights.
Tone & Electronics for Mixing and Production
The HSH pickup configuration pairs DiMarzio custom humbuckers at neck and bridge positions with a DiMarzio True Velvet single-coil in the middle, delivering thick, articulate tones across high-gain and clean settings—ideal for tracking everything from aggressive rhythm riffs to crystalline lead passages that sit cleanly in a dense mix. The Edge Zero II double-locking tremolo bridge maintains tuning stability through aggressive whammy work and dive-bomb effects, while Cosmo Black hardware ensures precise intonation and reliable performance across multiple takes and sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and how does it affect the guitar?
B-Stock means this unit is fully functional with minor cosmetic imperfections—in this case, a small finish chip on the top edge binding near the upper bout and light to moderate finish wear and fine scuffing along the lower treble-side headstock edge with a few small wood-exposing chips at the corner, plus minor scuffing around the tuner bushings. These marks are purely superficial and have absolutely zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity.
Is this guitar suitable for metal and hard rock, or can it handle other styles?
The JIVA10 excels in metal, hard rock, rock, and progressive genres. Its HSH pickup configuration and high-gain capability make it a natural fit for heavy music, though the True Velvet middle single-coil and responsive electronics also deliver usable clean and mid-gain tones. Jazz, country, and folk players will find the platform and voicing less suited to those traditions.
What makes the neck and fretboard feel so fast and responsive?
The three-piece maple and purpleheart neck with 24 frets, a 43 mm nut width, and 648 mm scale length creates immediate responsiveness and efficient reach across the fretboard. The bolt-on construction and ebony fingerboard binding provide a sleek, fast playing surface ideal for lead work and extended sessions.
How stable is the tremolo for aggressive use?
The Edge Zero II double-locking tremolo maintains tuning stability through aggressive whammy work and dive bombs, locking at the headstock and bridge to minimize tuning slip during heavy tremolo use. Cosmo Black hardware ensures precise intonation and reliable performance over time.
What pickup configuration does it have, and what tones can I expect?
The JIVA10 features an HSH setup with custom DiMarzio humbuckers at neck and bridge and a DiMarzio True Velvet single-coil in the middle, delivering thick, articulate tones across high-gain and clean settings. The three-voice design provides responsiveness and versatility without sacrificing the thick, cutting character metal and rock demand.
