Is the price shown inclusive of VAT?

Yes. Every price on Northgate Music Co. includes UK VAT at 20%, and a full VAT invoice is emailed with your dispatch confirmation. There are no import duties or handling fees on UK orders.

Will it need a set-up when it arrives?

No. Our workshop completes a full set-up before dispatch — truss rod, action, intonation and fresh strings — and includes the measurements in the box. UK humidity changes may call for a small seasonal tweak later on.

What happens if I don't get on with it?

You have 30 days from delivery to return it for a full refund. We email you a free UK return label, and refunds are processed to your original payment method within 5 working days of the item arriving back with us.

What warranty cover is included?

Two years parts and labour against manufacturing defects, on top of your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Consumables such as strings, reeds, heads and batteries are covered for 90 days.

Masterful Satriani Signature Guitar: Ibanez Joe Satriani Signature JS2480 Electric Guitar - Muscle Car Red

Elevate your performance to new heights with the Ibanez Joe Satriani Signature JS2480, a pinnacle of artistry and functionality in the Satriani-style electric guitar realm. This guitar beckons with unparalleled playability courtesy of the 3-piece maple/bubinga JS neck, accentuated by Ibanez's Prestige fret treatment for an unrivaled fluidity. The DiMarzio Satchur8 bridge humbucker delivers resonant high-output tones laden with harmonics and definition, while the Sustainiac circuit grants ethereal infinite sustain. Enabling seamless volume adjustments, a push-pull highpass filter retains high-frequency brilliance when toning down, and the Ultralite tremolo arm ensures effortless bending, twisting, and dive-bombing capabilities.

Exceptional Playability: Thin Neck and Treated Frets The JS2480's JS neck profile presents a sturdy yet swift fretting foundation, allowing lightning-speed finger movement. Crafted from a 3-piece maple/bubinga combination, this neck ensures heightened rigidity and superior vibration transfer. Further enhancing comfort, the 6105 frets, treated with Ibanez's Prestige technique, boast rounded edges for an exquisitely smooth playing experience.

DiMarzio Humbucker and Sustainiac Circuit: Unlimited Tonal Versatility Discover boundless tonal vistas with the Ibanez JS2480. The DiMarzio Satchur8 bridge humbucker delivers rich high-output tones teeming with harmonics and articulate definition. Engage the single-coil-sized Sustainiac pickup at the neck to sustain notes indefinitely, expanding your sonic palette with thick feedback and infinite sustain.

Highpass Filter for Sonic Control The volume control on the JS2480 incorporates a push-pull highpass filter, granting enhanced sonic options while adjusting volume. This innovative feature safeguards high-frequency brilliance, enabling seamless tonal transitions from clean to overdrive without losing definition or edge.
