Like its celebrated predecessor, the JSM100 features thick and sweet super 58 pickups and the original 1970s AS/AR headstock design. A compound radius fretboard provides consistent feel and playability in all registers. Flamed maple top, back, and sides.

    I have been a 335 player for decades and this Japanese made Ibanez is the finest example of a 335 style guitar you will find. This guitar plays like butter. The fit and finish is 2nd to none. And the tone of the Super 58 pickups is sublime. Like a 335, this guitar is equally at home playing Jazz, R&B/Funk, Rock, Fusion or Blues. Highly recommend....if you can find one!

    Awesome guitar by Ibanez. I hunted around for weeks, played several Gibsons in the local shops (335, 339), and even bought a used 335 dot plain top that was in great shape, based on the massive popularity of the ES-335. Had the Gibson set up, spent a couple of weeks playing it, then brought it back because it seemed like such a dull instrument for the price. Then spotted this Ibanez guitar in the local store for $1000 off the new retail price. Used, but in excellent condition (didn't look like it had even been played). The difference in tone was impressive. The JSM100 has more punch, color, greater clarity and sustain. Sounds great clean or with any amount of gain. Jumbo frets and an ever slightly wider neck compared to the 335 makes chording easy. Needless to say, sounds terrific for jazz and blues, but surprisingly holds its own perfectly for rock, too. Superior to the Gibson in binding, inlays, quality of hardware, and finish. Even the side output jack is an improvement. Finding this guitar at a good used price made the choice simple. I highly recommend this instrument if you're looking for a versatile, semi-hollow guitar.

    The Ibanez JSM100VT may look like a ES-335 but it's a totally different beast. The construction and attention to detail is amazing coming from Japan. Beautiful guitar that sound and plays like a dream. It's versatile enough to cover most styles (Fusion,Jazz,Funk,R&B,Blues and Rock). The Super 58 pick-ups are perfect for those styles it give you a very modern sound.It stay in tune better than those ES-335 but the sound is not comparable it got hes own voice, it also stay in tune most of the time after a few bends and the neck is fast. I recommended the Ibanez JSM100VT to anyone who wants a versatile tone machine for Live, Studio Recordings, Rehearsals or just practicing at home.

    The Ibanez JSM100VT John Scofield Signature electric guitar has a JSM neck profile, which is a custom neck shape developed specifically for John Scofield's playing style. Here's a breakdown of the neck shape and feel: Neck Shape and Feel: Profile: The JSM neck is a rounded, slightly chunky C-shape, more substantial than typical Ibanez necks like the slim Wizard profile, but not overly thick like a '50s Gibson. Comfort: It's designed for comfort and stability, great for jazz, fusion, and blues players who use complex chords and melodic phrasing. Thickness: At the 1st fret: ~21.5mm At the 12th fret: ~24.5mm Nut width: 43mm — standard width, not too wide or narrow. Radius: 305mm (12") — a moderate radius that feels smooth for both chords and single-note lines. Additional Feel Factors: Ebony fretboard: Smooth and fast, with a slightly more rigid feel than rosewood, giving it a precise and articulate response. Scale length: 24.75" (Gibson-style), which contributes to a slightly slinkier feel and easier string bending. Set neck: Enhances sustain and smooth access to upper frets.
