The Ibanez JSM10EM represents a workhorse reimagining of John Scofield’s superlative Ibanez semi-hollow formula, resulting in a comfortable, versatile, and high-performance jazz box for the stage-bound musician. This guitar’s striking flame maple top and linden back/sides form a resonant semi-hollow foundation for the JSM10EM’s dual Super 58 pickups — the very same vintage-style humbuckers found within many of John’s top-end Ibanez instruments. A Tri-sound mini switch unlocks versatility worthy of John’s genre-bending jazz chops, with series/parallel/single-coil options to shake up your sound. And as befitting a true jazz virtuoso like John, the JSM10EM makes no concessions when it comes to performance; an easy-playing JSM-profile nyatoh neck, bound walnut fingerboard with 305mm radius, and 22 medium frets unlock effortless playability across the entire neck. For visual appeal, a stunning set of gold hardware, bold block inlays, and bountiful binding work weaves throughout the instrument’s body, neck, headstock, and F-holes. Whether you’re a John Scofield devotee or seeking a rock-solid semi-hollowbody stunner, the JSM10EM brings one of Ibanez’s most successful signature 6-strings to the masses.
