Ibanez JS Guitar Specifications JS Series Notes Country of Manufacture: All models made in Japan except all JS100 and some JS700s which were made in Korea. The Korean made JS700s have the "Joe Satriani" inlay, instead of the Made in Japan "JS Custom" inlay. It is strongly believed the 600 is Korean made, as it has the "Joe Satriani" inlay featured in the Korean models and and was introduced at the same time as the JS100. JS Neck Measurements: Thickness
20.0mm at fret-1
22.3mm at fret-12 Two-piece body (except luthite JS10 and JS2KCP) One piece maple neck (no scarf joint) and old-style Fender neck joint heel (not AANJ) Multi Radius Neck explained from Hoshino USA (12/2003) The multi radius neck refers to the BACK of the neck, not the fingerboard. Typically, a "compound" radius (as I know it) means you have a small radius at the nut and a large radius at the end of the fingerboard, this makes gripping chords in the low register more comfortable and eliminates "choking" in the high register while still allowing low action. Apparently, our [JS] "multi radius" definition means that the bass and treble side of the back of the neck are not identical, the neck shape is intentionally "lop-sided" in order to replicate the feel of Joe's favorite neck. The radius is actually a fairly consistent 10 inches all the way up.
