Nita Strauss’s signature Jiva is a shred machine built for aggressive playing. The thin neck and powerful Quantum pickups deliver a modern, high-gain sound, and the tremolo is surprisingly stable.

Frequently Asked Questions
It’s a more modern design, prioritizing stability and easier setup. While not as extreme as some Floyd Rose models, it offers excellent return-to-pitch performance.
Yes, the Wizard III is exceptionally slim – it's designed for fast playing, but might feel a little 'racket-like' for players preferring a thicker neck.
While they excel in high-gain scenarios, the Quantum pickups are surprisingly versatile. They can handle cleaner tones and blues, but won’t offer the vintage warmth of more traditional pickups.
