Ibanez Nita Strauss JIVA10 Signature Electric Guitar Deep Space Blonde

Los Angeles born guitarist Nita Strauss has become a force to be reckoned with in the music world, dazzling audiences across the US, UK, Europe, South America, Asia, Australia and Africa, and sharing the stage with a diverse range of artists including rock legend Alice Cooper, R&B star Jermaine Jackson, early MTV darlings Femme Fatale, video game supergroup Critical Hit and popular tribute band The Iron Maidens. In 2018, Nita became the first ever female to become a signature artist with Ibanez guitars. Her signature guitar, the Ibanez JIVA, will hit stores in the summer of 2018. She also launched a signature set of DiMarzio Pandemonium pickups.

Triggered by a 5-way selector switch, these pickups deliver an amazing array of tones while a well-placed master volume control lets you make rapid adjustments with ease. For the best performance in a tremolo, Nita chose the Ibanez Edge Zero II bridge. With its sleek and comfortable, low-profile design and stud lock function for superior tuning stability, you'll be able to express every aspect of your musical personality. It all adds up to a pro-level playing experience for anyone with the courage to go all the way.  Personal touches that go beyond style Graced with Nita's special "Beaten Path" fingerboard inlay, the fast-playing maple/purple heart neck and ebony fingerboard come together to increase speed, comfort and sustain. And when the stage gets dark, you'll appreciate the luminescent side dot position markers that make it easy to hit all the right notes. The guitar’s finish was personally named by Nita as “Deep Space Blonde,�?which is a gray burst on a natural quilted maple top. Nita named the guitar JIVA, which translates to one’s “soul,�?a word found in Asian religions and one that has a deep personal connection with Nita as well. The Ibanez Nita Strauss Signature JIVA10 includes a hardshell case.
