Description

Ibanez built the JS240PSCA as part of its JS Signature Series, positioning it as a production-line entry into the Joe Satriani signature platform. The model carried the core architectural choices of the JS line — a multi-piece neck construction, a sustain-focused electronics configuration centered on the Sustainiac system, and the Edge tremolo — at a tier designed to bring those features within reach of a broader player base.

The body is American Basswood. The neck is a three-piece Maple and Purpleheart construction reinforced with KTS Titanium rods, joining a Panga Panga fretboard with white dot inlays, 24 medium frets with premium edge treatment, and a 250mm radius. The nut width is 42mm, widening to 56mm at the 24th fret; neck thickness runs 20mm at the first fret and 22.3mm at the twelfth. Scale length is 648mm (25.5 inches). String spacing at the bridge is 10.8mm. The Edge tremolo bridge and all hardware are finished in chrome. At the neck position sits a passive ceramic Sustainiac Driver single-coil; the bridge carries a passive Alnico DiMarzio Satchur8 humbucker. The guitar left the factory strung with D'Addario EXL120s (.009–.042) in standard E tuning.

Owners requiring tremolo setup, Sustainiac system calibration, or fretwork should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with double-locking tremolo systems.

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

What do you know about this one?

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
