The JS3, also referred to as the Donnie, is a JS series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 1990. It is a signature model of American guitarist Joe Satriani. It was made in Japan by FujiGen.
The JS3 features a custom painted finish by the late Donnie Hunt, who was an artist and a personal friend of Satriani. Each JS3 was hand painted by Hunt, therefore each is a unique creation.
The guitar model itself is based on the JS1. It has an American basswood body bolted to a maple neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with pearl dot position markers. Components include a pair of DiMarzio humbucking pickups mounted in metal pickup rings, a double locking tremolo bridge (initially the Edge, later the Lo-Pro Edge) and Gotoh tuning machines.
The JS4 and JS5 are other Satriani models with graphic finishes created by Satriani's sisters Joan and Carol, respectively.
