NITA STRAUSS Talks Ibanez Signature Model Jiva Guitar (Video)
May 1, 2019, 5 years ago
Ibanez and Alice Cooper guitarist Nita Strauss teamed up to create the JIVA10, a signature model guitar that is sleek, strong, and powerful. She recently gave Guitar Center an overview of the guitar, which can be viewed below.
Strauss: "My dad is actually the one that got me my first guitar and the name of my dad's band was Jiva. It was a really fitting tribute for me for the person that got me started playing music. Of course, Jiva means your essence, your life force, it's what lives on after you have gone, and my true hope is that this guitar and the music that I make with it and what other people are going to make with it will live on for a very long time."
Strauss' critically acclaimed solo debut, Controlled Chaos, is an epic, 11-track journey of jaw-dropping technical proficiency and highly emotive songwriting. It went straight into the top ten on the iTunes Rock chart upon release on November 16, 2018 and debuted at #1 on Billboard's Top New Artists Chart, #3 on the Billboard Label Independent Chart and #4 on Billboard's Top Hard Rock chart.
