Ibanez JIVA10R-TRC Nita Strauss Signature Electric Guitar in Torch Red

The Ibanez JIVA10R-TRC is the latest evolution of Nita Strauss signature performance machine, crafted for players who demand speed, precision and show-stopping looks. With its lightweight S Series mahogany body, striking Torch Red finish and a textured quilted maple top, it is built to turn heads on stage while staying comfortable through the longest sets. A trio of DiMarzio pickups delivers everything from glassy cleans to searing high-gain leads, all anchored by the rock-solid Edge-Zero II tremolo system.

Designed around Nita Strauss exacting requirements, the JIVA10R-TRC is all about effortless playability and reliable, repeatable performance. The ultra-fast Wizard III maple neck and locking nut invite fluid legato, rapid alternate picking and wide vibrato, while the sculpted body contours keep the guitar feeling light and responsive against your body. Whether you are playing technical metal, hard rock or modern instrumental music, this is a guitar that keeps up with every nuance of your technique.

Visually, the JIVA10R-TRC carries Nita signature aesthetic with a bold Torch Red gloss polyester finish and a unique textured top that catches the light from every angle. The custom Beaten Path fingerboard inlays add a distinctive touch that sets this model apart from standard S Series instruments, making it as individual as the player wielding it.

Tonally, the carefully voiced DiMarzio Pandemonium humbuckers and True Velvet single-coil give you a wide palette of sounds at your fingertips. From tight, articulate rhythm tones to singing, harmonically rich leads and expressive in-between positions, the JIVA10R-TRC is ready for studio sessions, live work and everything in between.

High-Performance Nita Strauss Signature Design

Every element of the JIVA10R-TRC has been specified to meet the demands of a world-touring guitarist. The slim, fast neck profile, contoured body and carefully chosen electronics work together to provide a responsive, player-focused instrument that feels familiar the moment you pick it up. If you need a guitar that can handle intensive practice, rehearsals and high-energy gigs, this signature model is purpose-built for that role.

Lightweight S Series Body with Ergonomic Contours

The classic Ibanez S Series silhouette is known for its sleek, carved shape and comfortable feel. The mahogany body keeps the guitar light on the shoulder while still delivering a warm, full-bodied core tone. Deep forearm and tummy contours let the instrument sit naturally against you, reducing fatigue during long sets and making complex techniques easier to execute.

DiMarzio Pandemonium and True Velvet Pickups

The DiMarzio Pandemonium humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions are voiced for clarity, punch and sustain, ideal for high-gain riffing and soaring lead work. The DiMarzio True Velvet single-coil in the middle adds chime and articulation, opening up classic, more vintage-flavoured sounds. Together, they give you a versatile tonal toolkit that can move seamlessly from tight modern metal to expressive clean and crunch tones.

Edge-Zero II Tremolo with ZPS3Fe Stabiliser

The Edge-Zero II bridge with ZPS3Fe stabiliser is designed for aggressive whammy bar use while helping the guitar return to pitch. This system gives you smooth, controlled vibrato and divebombs, with the added benefit of improved tuning stability and a more consistent feel under your picking hand. The locking nut further enhances stability, letting you focus on your playing rather than constant retuning.

Wizard III Maple Neck and Custom Beaten Path Inlays

The Wizard III maple neck offers a thin, flat profile that is ideal for fast, technical playing. It encourages low action and clean note separation, whether you are sweeping, tapping or playing intricate chord voicings. The custom Beaten Path inlays not only give the fingerboard a unique visual identity, they also provide clear position markers to help you navigate the neck quickly on dark stages.

• Lightweight S Series Mahogany Body - The slim, contoured mahogany body keeps the guitar comfortable and lightweight while delivering a warm, resonant tonal foundation. This makes extended rehearsals and long gigs far less tiring without sacrificing sonic authority.
• DiMarzio Pandemonium and True Velvet Pickups - A powerful HSH configuration offers tight, articulate high-gain tones alongside clear, expressive cleans. The Pandemonium humbuckers handle modern rock and metal with ease, while the True Velvet middle pickup adds sparkle and versatility for more traditional sounds.
• Edge-Zero II Tremolo with ZPS3Fe Stabiliser - This tremolo system is engineered for stability and smooth operation, allowing extreme pitch bends and flutters while helping the guitar return to tune. The stabiliser adds a more controlled feel, ideal for precise vibrato and expressive whammy work.
• Wizard III Maple Neck with Locking Nut - The fast, slim Wizard III neck profile makes complex techniques more accessible and comfortable. Combined with the locking nut, it supports low action and solid tuning stability, so you can play hard and fast with confidence.
