Ibanez JSM20 John Scofield Signature Electric Guitar Black Low Gloss

Description

Trying to label John Scofields work is nearly impossible: post-bop, funk-edged jazz, R&Bfor all we know he may be inventing a whole new genre at this very moment. And for as varied as his musical stylings are, there also seems no end to the breadth of Scofields musical collaborations. Whether challenging the form with Pat Metheny, cruising with Medeski, Martin & Wood, or jamming with Govt Mule, the soulfulness of Scofields tone and chops makes him instantly recognizable to his ever-growing legion of fans.

This JSM20 of Scofields signature instrument reflects his desire to offer a guitar that meets his high standards, but falls within the reach of young working players. The JSM20s semi-hollow Maple Body is visually refined work of craftsmanship that enables clean, clear, warm tone: a character further enhanced by the 3-piece Mahogany/Maple neck. For extended tone options, the JSM20 comes with two Super 58 pickups and a Tri-Sound switch for the neck pickup that allows you to select humbucker in series (traditional), parallel (brighter, single coil type tone w/ lower output and hum cancellation) or coil-tapping for a single coil sound. An ART1 bridge provides improved sustain and tuning stability. Includes hard shell case.
