However, there is no logic in dismissing a guitar, that you havent played, on the basis that the manufacturer has changed from one fairly generic hardwood to another fairly generic (and similar) hardwood. If the exact timber used in construction of the guitar is important to you, then pony up and order a custom guitar.
Given Satriani's ability to generate tone from whichever guitar he is currently playing, I think you have chosen an unfortunate example. And if you think that most of his tone on earlier tracks like Always With Me... is entirely due to the body wood of one guitar he used back in the day, then you might want to take a look at his extensive amp/pedal/studio setup at the time too.
If you like the look of the Ibanez, and the overall sound, then go and buy one. If you don't like it when you play it then sell it on.
I wish you luck in your sonic quest,

The ones made out of a door and mdf are not that much difference to the mahoghany.
To be fair not much between them all , factor in when f/x are added ,delay/ overdrive etc, put it in a band mix with bass drums vocals,10.00 at night in a pub i reckon the cork sniffers would struggle to say
" Thats a mdf bodied guitar" or " Nice sounding ash bodied guitar" ...

The Satriani JS models are more of a development from the 540R Radius series, more rounded and Strat-like (and with a slightly thicker neck too).
