Shortly after the successful launch of Nita Strauss’ Ibanez signature guitar, the JIVA10 in 2018, Nita approached Ibanez about making a more affordable version of the immensely popular guitar. Instead of simply cutting corners in on a JIVA10 and calling it a day though, Nita decided to design a whole new guitar that is just as striking as the original JIVA, but has a character that is all its own. The JIVA JR has many of the appointments of the original JIVA10, including the Ibanez S body shape, H-S-H pickup configuration, double-locking Edge Zero-II tremolo, and of course, the ‘Beaten Path’ fretboard inlay, but it also features a new finish that is sure to grab attention.
