The Ibanez JS1CR Chrome Boy years of association and collaboration between Joe Satriani and Ibanez. This guitar was first presented at NAMM Show 2018 and at the time was the 4th chrome guitar in the Ibanez JS series. The first one being the JS2 back in 1992, but it has been quickly moved back from the market because of chrome issues.
