Ibanez John Scofield JSM20 Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitar (with Case)

Whether you play jazz, funk, rock or some divine combination of the 3, the Ibanez John Scofield JSM20's tri-sound switch gets you all the tones you need.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
3-piece mahogany neck Stable and strong; withstands the test of time
Bound ebony fretboard Luxurious looks and focused tone
Laminated maple top/back/sides Even tone with good sustain
Super 58 Custom humbucker Faithful copy of classic pickup; smooth and even

The JSM20's semi-hollow Maple Body is visually refined work of craftsmanship that enables clean, clear, warm tone: a character further enhanced by the 3pc Mahogany/Maple neck.

Trying to label John Scofield's work is nearly impossible: post-bop, funk-edged jazz, R&B -- for 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 Scofield's musical collaborations. Whether challenging the form with Pat Metheny, cruising with Medeski, Martin & Wood, or jamming with Gov't Mule, the soulfulness of Scofield's tone and chops makes him instantly recognizable to his ever-growing legion of fans.

This JSM20 of Scofield's signature instrument reflects his desire to offer a guitar that meets his high standards, but falls within the reach of young working players.

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 hardshell case.

Purchased this guitar through zzounds 2-3 weeks ago. The company was great with filling this order.I have several guitars including a few expensive Gibsons and my share of Fenders. I have been impressed with the JSM20. The fit and finish is unblemished. Set up out of box was good. The playability and tone is great.The neck girth and fingerboard is a bit more substantial and wider then the Gibsons. I play mostly blues and this guitar bends and moves nicely. The humbuckers sounds like a horn and holds quality wherever volume is set. This is a keeper.
