Oh JIVA Nita

Akhirnya...

IT’S REAL!!!!!!!! ✨😭 You are officially. Looking at. The first ever female Ibanez signature artist. After years of dreaming, hoping and working, followed by months of planning and preparation... I am honored and proud to introduce my signature guitar, the Ibanez JIVA. 🎶 This beauty will be sold worldwide and comes equipped exactly how I play it live, including brand new signature DiMarzio pickups meticulously designed by yours truly. 🎶 When I had my first meeting with Ibanez in September of 2008, they asked me why they should add me to the artist roster. My (typically emotional) answer was... “All my heroes are Ibanez players 😭 It’s a dream come true for me to just come and meet you guys. If you don’t want to give me an endorsement, I’ll still play my Ibanez guitars proudly, but it would be a huge honor to join the family and represent the company officially.” They took a chance on a basically unknown girl from LA (I was actually the only girl on the USA roster at that time) and coming up on my 10th amazing year as an Ibanez artist, words cannot express how honored and thrilled I am to now join the ranks of my greatest heroes as a signature artist. 🎶 I am so grateful to Mike Orrigo, Shogo Wada, Moti Kishiuchi, Tyler Busque and all at Ibanez Guitars, to Rob Nishida and Mike Taft for your support at the beginning and especially to Josh for making this dream a reality!! 😭 For the guitar players- specs are coming in the next post 😏 Photo: @robertdownsphotography

Seperti yang pernah aku jangkakan beberapa tahun lepas, selepas Nita menyertai Alice Cooper. Tahun ini tak sangka pula dapat dua-dua signature sekaligus, Ibanez JIVA dan pikap DiMarzio Nita Strauss signature (belum tahu nama model).

[Added @ 3.00 pm] Menurut Nita ia merupakan JIVA10, biasanya kalau signature 10-series adalah Premium range (Indonesian), signature DiMarzio yang digunakan pula adalah berasaskan Evolution dan D-Activator, ok selamat.

Jilake, dah melangkau entri terjadual DiMarzio esok...

AADI: Alasan nak guna S-series? Kah kah kah...
