I can't believe I am watching YOU and what you play and the guitar... I think I am broken... there is something seriously wrong with me!

Nita's livin' the dream and she's designed one helluva guitar, IMHO one of the best signature models around - a home run straight out of the gate. Rock on Nita!

Fooling around on a great guitar. Nita sitting in the back enjoying an ice cream. Love it. :)

Ibanez has been dragging this poor gal everywhere lately but the other channels mostly just had to chat nervously. You had to play her guitar in front of her, WHILE she eats ice cream, and you somehow held it together. You are a true professional.

Regarding jazz chords I’ve always heard that the difference between a rock guitarist and a jazz guitarist is that the rock guitarist plays three chords for a million people and a jazz guitarist plays a million chords for three people.

I want a jack of all trades guitar, thanks for showing it’s capabilities beyond shred and metal. Thank you.

It's always nice to see somebody who has gained success and still remain down to earth she has been on a lot of stages has her own Ibanez model and still remains cool 😎

Thank you for doing a great demo on Nina’s custom. It’s nice to hear someone play on a clean setting and really hear the sound of the guitar. Thanks for letting him use your axe Nita👍

This is one of the most fun and just coolest guitar videos on KZfaq. Awesome surf playing

Looks like Nita was kind of impressed, when some one played NOT metal on her guitar! That was real fun and not typical))) Great video. Love it!!

Ibanez guitars are great! Been playing them since the late 80's, they have always been my go to guitar. I would have been a little nervous playing in front of Nita too, she rocks!

Dude!! How did I miss you hanging with Nita!? She’s awesome. I saw her at a GC Clinic in NYC last week. You have officially made it!! Congrats!🎉

I’m late to this party, but I just had to add my .02 worth...I picked up one of these beauties two weeks ago...by accident. I was looking into the S-Series Ibanez for comfort, but I knew that they are basically a shredding machine - something I don’t do. I was looking for something light weight, balanced with no neck dive and something that had an easy-on-the-fingers neck/fretboard. I play jazz and classic rock/blues, so I figured there would be no way this guitar would fit those genera but I wanted to give it a run anyway. It blew my mind! It is THE most comfortable, most playable guitar I have ever laid hands on in my hundreds of years of playing! I absolutely HAD TO HAVE IT! At Guitar Center I played thru a Deluxe Reverb reissue because that is one amp that I have. Once I got the guitar home I played it thru - get ready for this - my Fishman Loudbox Mini Charge! At low to medium volumes I get the sweetest jazz and classic rock sounds imaginable! Clean tone Heaven! I do like solid state amps for jazz, but because I couldn’t wait to set up my big amps, I just plugged into the Fishman, and I was astounded by how creamy the neck pup could be with the tone knob turned down slightly. I haven’t to this day even tried it with my Fender Custom Shop ‘64 Deluxe Reverb hand-wired reissue or my Fender Twin. Cranking up the volume produces fantastic classic rock tones. And yes, it gets great surf sounds. I’m not entirely sure about the quasi-Floyd Rose setup as I’ve never had a guitar with one, but I suppose I can learn how to deal with it. I guess I’ll HAVE to because I can’t find an S Series with a standard whammy bar and bone nut. I am anxious to get my hands on Nita’s latest model - the JIVA X - which is an Ibanez Prestige offering that was introduced at NAMM 2020. I think I just might have to get one of those. Bottom line...you can’t judge this book by its cover! It is not just a one-trick-pony shredding machine. You can make it sing whatever style music you want - except maybe the country Tele kind of stuff. This is a VERY versatile guitar which is pulling me away from some of my very expensive collection. Dammit!! 😆

It's the coolest video I've seen from TGU18!! Nita is awesome!

The more I see of this guitar, it is bad ass. I want one.

Really enjoyed listening to you play surf music!! You should do some surf music tutorials...

Great video! That’s one beautiful and talented lady! So proud for her and what she is doing for not only women, but metal in general! I hope she gets with someone current that can really bring her talents to more people!

Unbelievable !! You got to play the Jiva in front of Nita !! You played completely clean and it sounded flawless !! Very amazing marketing skill for the guitar !! You can literally play Anything on the Jiva and sound Amazing !!

I want this guitar, I’m really impressed with it

When I saw her playing with Alice I knew she had to be special. I love that she holds her own in a dying rock world. I would love to see a colab with her and lzzy Hale. #rockqueens

The phrase here is: WOW! Yeah Nita is a brilliant guitarist, but I always thought she's probably just a very nice person too - and yeah this clip only confirms it... and YOU PLAYED 'RUMBLE' FOR HER... you just nailed it. Took me 6 years to see this video but itv totally made my day.

I can't believe I missed out on this dude! I'll put the Interview up later today.

Love all that surf sound - cool! And Nita's easy on the eyes☺️

Very nice video! Great surf sound! Thanks for sharing.

I wanted a Jiva for a couple years but couldnt get one because of demand. Ended up with another brand but I will tell you that S body they did for her was an awesome guitar! The new S series is a work of art and they are only around 1200.00 USD. Thats a great price for an Ibanez with exotic woods. The pickups they do really do give you the best of both strat and gibson sounds.

Had to pause to go get an Ice cream. Sweet guitar, looking forward to playing it!! =)

I just had this vision of a Surf themed super strat. CBS era headstock, block inlays, binding, 22+ frets, V shape with amber tint. Bolt it up to a double bound Surf green RG style body with a thin shot of nitro, tons of horizontal checking, an aged nickel floyd rose, coil split super low output PAF in the neck/bridge with a claw style Jag pickup in the middle. Hold my beer...

Nice to see Nita sharing her new guitar to a non shredder. Good marketing. Nita always seems to be a laid back cool lady also. Good video.

Nita has an awesome guitar. Love the surf music

This is my first time watching this channel. Epic video!

1:12 His face right after he said that 🤣That was priceless.

OMG...sweet...I'm glad i saw this...I'm so into this guitar. I cannot wait to get it. This is my DREAM guitar but was worried about not being able to get the surf sound out of it as well as smoking metal. I'm sooo happy!!! Yeah!!!!

I have exactly the same one he is playing with Nita Strauss signature one, it amazing sound, I love it.👍👍👍

...surf music on Nita's JIVA, ice cream and only 50 cycle hum are an entertaining combination 😉

Awesome demo! Never thought I’d say I’d be tempted by an Ibanez!

I love love love her.

NitaStrausseatsicecreamtosurfmusic.mp4

WOW! I think I’m in love!!!! And the guitar’s nice, too.

What a fun video. Love it

She have such a cool vibe gotta love her 💚

That first position pickup sounded golden!

Nita is such a talent and a beauty...congrats on her sig Ibanez.

Omg i am in love with.... The guitar..

love the surf sound! Nita looked a little nervous as you were waving the neck of that guitar around , like you might knock that cone out of her hand.

The Munsters love that Spooky show absolute classic!

Hey, i recorded my surf music with ibanez RG with middle pickup, and it sound great....by the way nice sound👍

it's a very cool looking finish, the S series always look super cool

Sounds awesome!

LOVE her guitar.

Great conversation!!! Nita means Rock. Stain means Rock. Nita is a great guitarist in the rock music word! She is my source of inspiration. My middle name is Rockstar. Much love from Bangladesh.

Good trem picking, dude. Nice sounding instrument.

I reslly enjoy the surf part with Nita's air drums 🥁

Ibanez S types with HSH are super versatile guitars forsure. I’ve had a few lol.

I really enjoyed watching Nita eat ice cream while you played..sounds like a more versatile instrument that it looks .👍

Love the video something different for a change , I own 3 Ibanez guitars ,the first one I ever picked up I just knew that the guitar was for me , it was an RG can't remember the model number. It was £375 new it felt and played like a £1500 guitar.

great video

Nita😍😍😍😍Her Ibanez guitar is awsome,luv the ekg scheme.she and her guitar look like a Guiness pint.

Regardless of whether it was just a split, or the middle and split humbucker that was an amazing clean tone in 2 and 4.

Those were some surprising sounds, which I would not have expected from this type of guitar. Love it! Also, your vibrato....soooo tasty!

Nita, you rock! Nice guitar!!

Fun Surfer dude,Nita is so cool and adorable Outstanding guitarist!

I could not have played with her in the room, it would be too intimidating. She's so bloody good on guitar.

Your having too much fun there!

So surfaking good!

Nita's so cool!

The guitar actually sounds great!

the cleans on that spilt-coil p/u are pretty amazing, it's usually the missing voice on Ibanez guitars...I think I'd go with the S1070 though or RG1070...in Cerulean Blue Burst, w/SS frets.

Makes me think about “Pulp Fiction”! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Nita is great!!

awesome wow

Nice tones

love jiva

Position 2 is perfect for surf!!!!

Hey, that's a good looking guitar!

I've been saving for that beautiful guitar since she announced it but then find out I'm being medically retired from the air force. Lol R.I.P guitar money

cool video!!

what is that blackstar amp in the background near his leg which looks like a boss katana artist series amp

Nita is awesome!

The best way to test guitar tones - play it clean

I am googling "how to play surf music" now in case this ever happens to me.

Nita is "class", very cool easy going humble person, extremely talented, She is a very versatile guitarrist

Every video I have seen with Nita she just seems like the nicest person on the planet Great to hear some clean sounds from this guitar, now I want one twice as much

Nita Strauss. The worlds fastest female shredder, and the worlds slowest ice cream cone eater

Had to watch that agian

Nita is à Very good gitarplayer. And this surf sound is Very good playing to. Have you try ESP horizon Gitars, i like them Very mutsh LTD to, but i must try this jiva10 ibanez

That's a VERSATILE guitar as far as tone goes!!!! 😲😲😲😲 🤯🤯🤷‍♂️

At minute 2:10 she says the 2nd position is just the split bridge humbucker, but on the Ibanez website the specs state that the 2nd position is a blend of the split bridge and the single coil. So which is it?

Super Great Chic!!!!

Good job in pipeline by the venture s

2:41 oh nice 👏👏👏👏👏👏

I don't know a damn thing about guitars but I feel like I should buy one now.

I think Nita is great. Great player and seems like a nice person.

2:20 Munsters......🤘

Nita #1 Amazing

You guys prob didn’t know this but I have my own Ibanez guitar series too. It’s called the RG series. That’s my price point lol

Really Good Guitar.. I'm just not keen on the colour way.. Having said that I've got a Pewter strat so I should Hush now..

Nina has really been making the rounds on the KZfaqs, huh? SO cool!

I didn't here a word he said. I've just been watching Nita eat an ice cream. Lol

Nice guitar

Thanks for not showing off the gain, I appreciate that guitar much more now. $1499.00 seems like a steal.
