The now-iconic Muscle Car Orange finish has a surprisingly literal origin story. During rehearsals with Chickenfoot, Joe walked into a car workshop across the street and spotted a 1973 Camaro in a blazing orange paint job with plenty of chrome under the bonnet. He snapped a photo, sent it straight to Ibanez, and that became the inspiration for the JS2410’s colour.

If you love the feel of a Fender electric but want an acoustic that still looks and plays like “you”, the Fender California Series is pretty much made for you. These guitars take Fender’s Southern California roots and wrap them into bold colours, comfy necks and plug-in-ready designs that are built for real-world playing – from the lounge room to the local gig and everything in between.
