Ibanez JIVA10-DSB Deep Space Blonde Signature Nita Strauss

Essential Information About the Ibanez JIVA10 Nita Strauss Signature Guitar

• Stage-ready Signature: modern ergonomics, easy access to the high frets, and luminescent side markers for playing in low-light conditions.


• HSH Versatility with DiMarzio pickups (Pandemonium at neck and bridge, True Velvet in the middle) and a 5-position selector switch to switch from heavy tones to clearer textures.


• Fast Playing: thin and stable Wizard III neck (3-piece maple/wenge) and ebony fingerboard for precise attack.


• Vibrato Expression: low-profile Edge-Zero II tremolo paired with a locking nut for improved tuning stability.

A Modern Signature Within the Ibanez Universe

The JIVA10 embodies Nita Strauss's vision: a performance-oriented electric guitar designed to chain powerful riffs, fast leads, and dynamic variations without feeling limited. In the spirit of Ibanez superstrats, it combines comfort-focused craftsmanship, electronics ready for modern sounds, and practical details for live performance.

For Which Guitarist and Styles?

This Ibanez is primarily aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists seeking a precise and responsive instrument with a double-locking vibrato system. Ideal for rock, hard rock, and metal (tight rhythms, singing solos, tremolo effects), it also covers more nuanced styles thanks to the intermediate positions of the 5-position selector switch.

Sound Characteristics

The combination of a spalted maple top and African mahogany body offers an effective balance: attack and definition for pick attacks, with a warmer foundation and generous sustain. The ebony fingerboard enhances the sense of precision, providing quick response and well-defined lows. Regarding pickups, the DiMarzio Pandemonium (ceramic) deliver a modern, dense, and edgy tone, perfect for distortion. The True Velvet (alnico) in the middle adds single-coil clarity for more articulate cleans and snappier combined positions. The 5-position selector switch intelligently exploits the HSH configuration: full humbuckers at the ends, and thinner combinations in positions 2 and 4 to vary tonal colors without changing guitars.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To stay as close as possible to the original specs, use an electric string set with a gauge of 009-042 (e.g., D'Addario EXL120, identical to the factory setup). A standard 6.35 mm instrument jack cable and picks suited to your playing style complete a simple and reliable setup.
