The Ibanez JIVAX2, launched in 2022, is a solid body electric guitar and the signature model of American guitarist Nita Strauss, known for her work with The Iron Maidens and Alice Cooper. Crafted in Japan, it's based on the S series and features a quilted maple top on an African mahogany body bolted to a titanium-reinforced maple neck. The guitar boasts a 24-fret ebony fingerboard with binding, "Beaten Path" EKG-style position markers, and Luminlay side dots. Components include an Edge Zero double-locking tremolo bridge, DiMarzio pickups with custom Pandemonium humbuckers, and a True Velvet single-coil, all complemented by Gotoh tuning machines.
