Ibanez John Scofield Signature JSM100 - Vintage Sunburst

The Masterpiece Semi-Hollowbody: Four Decades of Fusion Royalty

The Ibanez JSM100 in Vintage Sunburst is the definitive recreation of John Scofield’s legendary 1981 AS200—the very guitar that shaped the sound of modern jazz, funk, and modern fusion. Master-built in Japan, the JSM100 features a stunning Figured Anigre body with a solid internal response block, delivering all the airy resonance of a classic semi-hollow instrument while effectively controlling feedback at higher stage gain levels.

Designed for supreme playability, the JSM100 boasts a mahogany set-neck with a bound ebony fingerboard with a compound radius. This offers effortless chord voicing on the lower frets with low, choke-free action for high-register lead lines. Anchored by a half-bone/half-brass nut, every note yields exceptional sustain, note definition, and immediate attack.

Powered by a duo of legendary Japanese Super 58 humbuckers, the JSM100 translates every subtle dynamic nuance of your touch. From warm, woody jazz tones and punchy funk rhythms to singing, vocal-like overdriven lead work, this instrument represents the absolute pinacle of semi-hollow electric guitar design.
