Sound & Tone
The laminated flamed maple semi-hollow body with f-holes and a shallow 6.66 cm depth gives this JSM10 a resonant, airy voice with long sustain, while the set-in sapele neck, ebony fingerboard and bone nut keep note attack clear and articulate. Dual Super 58 humbuckers run from warm, rounded blues and jazz tones to a thicker growl when pushed, and the tri-sound switch on the neck pickup opens up leaner, more transparent voicings for cleaner comping and chord work. The short 24.7" scale adds a slightly softer string feel and a fat midrange, making it well suited to jazz, fusion, blues and soul-jazz players who want warmth without losing definition.
Ibanez Signature John Scofield JSM10 Hollow Body Electric Guitar Vintage Yellow Sunburst B-Stock
The JSM10 is a semi-hollow body engineered to capture articulate, responsive recordings with exceptional sustain and clarity. Its shallow 6.66 cm body depth sits comfortably in the studio environment and pairs well with tracking stands or wall mounts, while the set-in sapele neck provides solid connection to the body for efficient energy transfer and resonance that translates faithfully to tape or digital. The ebony fingerboard with Artstar fret edge treatment ensures smooth technique and tight, consistent response across all registers for precise tracking.
Tone & Recording Character
Dual Ibanez Super 58 humbucking pickups with gold covers deliver smooth, nuanced tones alongside controlled aggression, managed through individual volume and tone controls plus a tri-sound switch for the neck pickup to shape tone at the source before hitting your interface. The bone nut enriches tone across the frequency spectrum, while the semi-hollow construction adds acoustic resonance and sustain that reads clearly in mixes—a hallmark of premium jazz and fusion recording instruments.
Construction & Studio Application
Laminated flamed maple top with f-holes and multi-layer binding on the sides and back create refined aesthetics and enhance acoustic properties that support recording versatility. The 22-fret ebony fingerboard features binding and acrylic/abalone split block position markers, while the Tune-o-matic style bridge with Quik Change III tailpiece and black pickguard provide stable hardware and classic appointments ideal for session work across genres.
