Ibanez JSM10 Vintage Yellow Sunburst John Scofield signature

The Ibanez JSM10 Vintage Yellow Sunburst is John Scofield’s road-ready semi-hollow, voiced for fusion clarity yet bold enough for modern rock authority. Its laminated maple top, back and sides with a solid center block deliver the classic snap and air of a double-cut semi, while keeping feedback under control when the stage volume rises. A set-in JSM profile neck gives you that fast, effortless Ibanez feel, paired with a bound ebony fingerboard, a comfortable 12-inch radius and medium frets for fluid bends and precise chord work.

The 24.75-inch scale keeps the slink and warmth familiar to jazz and blues players, while the sculpted heel and sleek carve invite contemporary techniques. Finished in a durable gloss polyurethane, the guitar balances resonance and reliability for touring and studio work alike. At the heart are Ibanez Super 58 humbuckers: articulate Alnico voices renowned for touch sensitivity.

A 3-way toggle provides the core HH palette, and the neck Tri-sound mini-switch unlocks series, parallel, and single-coil textures—moving from woody, round neck tones to glassy single-coil sparkle without losing output balance. The Gibraltar Artist bridge and Quik Change tailpiece form a rock-solid hardtail platform, enhancing tuning stability and intonation for everything from clean comping to saturated lead work. Dial in shimmering cleans with piano-like note separation, lean into nuanced crunch for chord-melody lines that bloom, or push high gain for singing sustain that stays focused and noise-controlled.

Built in Indonesia to Scofield’s spec, the JSM10 blends fast necks, a modern bridge, and versatile HH-to-single-coil switching—perfect for jazz, fusion, indie, alternative, and beyond. Every Ibanez JSM10 we ship has been fully checked for setup, playability, and electronics by Max Guitar techs.
