Following the remarkable success of her signature JIVA10 in 2018, Nita Strauss recognised the demand for a more accessible version of her beloved instrument. Rather than simply producing a stripped-down variant, she collaborated with Ibanez to create an entirely new guitar that maintains the visual impact of the original whilst developing its own distinct personality.
The JIVA JR retains many of the premium features that made the original JIVA10 so popular amongst guitarists. This includes the classic Ibanez S body shape, versatile H-S-H pickup configuration, and the reliable double-locking Edge Zero-II tremolo system. The signature ‘Beaten Path’ fretboard inlay also makes its return, ensuring the guitar maintains its distinctive visual appeal.
What sets the JIVA JR apart is its striking new finish, designed to capture attention whilst offering players an affordable entry point into Nita Strauss’ signature series. This thoughtful approach to design ensures that the guitar stands as its own instrument rather than merely a budget alternative.
