Ibanez JIVAX2 Nita Strauss Signature Electric Guitar (Ghost) w/ Case

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.

Her skill, exuberant stage presence and love for all things about her instrument have earned her a stellar reputation and endorsements from many top companies. Nita has been featured in many worldwide print magazines and on dozens of albums, trailers, and soundtracks, including Heroes Of The Storm (Blizzard) and Grammy-nominated Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Konami/ Platinum Games); and is the author of the Guitar World magazine monthly column "Like a Hurricane." Nita was also the official in-house guitarist for the LA KISS, the arena football team owned by Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons of KISS.

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.

The Ibanez JIVAX2 features a 5pc Maple/Wenge Neck with excellent strength provides an enriched resonance. Ebony produces tight lows and mid range with a strong attack in the high end and features a quick response and rich sustain. The Quilted Maple top sonically enriches the response for picking. The African Mahogany body delivers a rich mid-low end. DiMarzio® Pandemonium™ pickups have a modern take on a classic rock sound that Nita desires. Gotoh® machine heads provide super precision, smooth feel, and minimal back lush.

The Edge-Zero has a sharp knife-edge for extremely accurate tremolo playing. This tremolo also uses Ibanez innovations to keep string action constant and the bridge surface smooth. The specially-designed arm socket prevents unnecessary wobble while providing full control over the arm's torque. In addition, the zero point system offers much greater tuning stability.

"I’ve been designing my signature guitar in my head since I started playing guitar- and the JIVA is that dream come to life. From the tone woods to the sleek design to the incredibly versatile sounds, this guitar is everything I've ever wanted!" - Nita Strauss
