Ibanez JSM100-VT Vintage Sunburst Signature John Scofield - Refurbished

A signature archtop with a "classic" sound, designed for stage and studio

The GB10 follows the tradition of semi-hollow/archtop electric guitars dedicated to warm and expressive tones. Its design emphasizes tonal balance and precision, with carefully crafted hardware and simple, effective electronics, ideal for achieving a warm jazz grain while maintaining clarity.

For which guitarist and styles?

The Ibanez GB10 primarily targets intermediate to expert guitarists seeking an expressive and tuning-stable instrument, particularly comfortable in jazz, blues, soul, soft funk, and "chord melody" accompaniment. Its compound radius and Jumbo frets also favor more modern phrasing, with a comfortable feel across the entire neck.

Sound characteristics

The choice of figured anigre for the top, back, and sides delivers a response centered on the midrange, with a softer high-end attack and a very musical chordal tone. The Super 58 pickups (humbuckers, passive, Alnico) provide a warm and "vintage" register, while remaining defined enough for chord extensions and right-hand dynamics. Regarding controls, the guitar offers full ergonomics with 2 volumes (neck and bridge), 2 tones (neck and bridge), and a 3-position selector (neck, both, bridge) for quickly switching from a round, mellow sound to a more biting tone.

Recommended compatible accessories

To stay as close as possible to the original balance, favor an electric string set with gauges .013/.016/.022/.032/.042/.052 (factory gauge). The hard case is included, convenient for transport and daily protection.
