DESCRIPTION
From honing her craft in the Los Angeles rock scene to commanding arenas as a guitarist for Alice Cooper, Nita Strauss has emerged as one of the most prominent virtuoso players in modern rock. The Ibanez JIVA10R channels her formidable technique and explosive stage presence into a high-performance signature guitar built for speed, power and versatility.
The foundation is an African mahogany body that supplies a rich mid-low punch with the depth to support everything from heavy rhythm work to singing leads, topped with quilted maple that sharpens the attack of each note while bringing dramatic figuring to the sleek double-cutaway shape. Bolted to that is a 3-piece maple/purpleheart neck with a full 25.5" scale, an ebony fingerboard with a flat 15.75" radius and jumbo frets — a fast playing surface made for fluid single-note runs, wide bends and technically demanding lead work.
Electronics reflect Nita's modern take on classic rock tone. DiMarzio Pandemonium humbuckers in the neck and bridge deliver the authority needed for heavy rhythms and expressive leads, while a DiMarzio True Velvet single-coil in the middle adds clarity and contrast to the HSH layout. A 5-way blade switch plus master volume and tone keep the whole package quick and intuitive to navigate between high-gain intensity and more articulate textures.
The Edge-Zero II tremolo offers dramatic pitch range with a low-profile surface that sits comfortably beneath the picking hand, and its stud-lock system keeps the bridge anchored through aggressive whammy work. Paired with the 1.69" locking nut, the double-locking design holds tuning through dives, rises and expressive vibrato. Signature touches like the Beaten Path fingerboard inlay and luminescent side dots finish an instrument designed to perform with the same intensity as the artist behind it.
