Listen to the instrumental songs “Flying in The Blue Dream” and “Crystal Planet” and think that only one guitar did it with the push of a button. One volume button, and one for the tone that enables the coil-split, allowing the bass frequencies to be turned off and the sound to become thinner. The pickup configuration is Joe’s standard DiMarzio PAF and FRED setup, both chrome-plated with a hand-made built-in single coil.
The body is a double-cutaway, under the special metal there’s basswood. The Ibanez company had finally found the technology that would help make the futuristic guitar that Joe has been dreaming of since the 80s.
Made of special stainless steel, which is only a few microns thin. The series came out in 2005 with the abbreviation PRM, which means Premium Rock Mirror because that it is, the model is meant to be so shiny that it can be used as a mirror. As for Joe, this one became his main go-to up until 2018 when the latest Chromeboy came out, since then, these two rotate fairly often. This is one of the rarest guitars and has a cult status among musicians because only 60 models were made and an additional 35 for the USA market.
The most powerful, legendary guitar that finally had everything: “quality sound, very lightweight, fits perfectly with the guitarist’s body, ” all these words were used by Joe himself. See the full list of Joe Satriani guitars and gear below. It’s rare to see him without one of his JS signature models in hand, many of which sport bright, often automobile inspired, colors including Camaro Orange, Muscle Car Red, and of course his famous Chrome finish.
Joe Satriani is well known for his signature line of Ibanez guitars. Photo by mzagerpīeing one of the most controversial names left out Rolling Stone’s 100 greatest guitarists of all time, Satriani has no trouble sleeping at night, this is a self-made guitar hero who in his own words, values his own accomplishments much more than the ones given by a third party. To achieve such an interdimensional sound, Joe is very picky about his gear, it all falls down his winning philosophy, be it structure, sound, or even explicitly, tools, everything serves a purpose. His special sound was made under the influence of the greats Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page, which eventually led him in the direction of instrumental music, in other words, making his own voice from his guitar and fingers. When Joe Satriani appeared on the rock scene in the 1980s, he was in oh so many ways different from other bands and solo musicians of the time.
