A signature electric guitar delivering John Scofield's acclaimed warmth and vintage tone.
The Ibanez John Scofield Signature electric guitar delivers the renowned jazz guitarist's signature tone and playability. Its nyatoh neck and walnut fingerboard provide a balanced frequency range, allowing the Super 58 humbucking pickups to shine through with clarity and warmth. The guitar's flamed maple top and linden back and sides generate a natural, resonant tone that complements Scofield's fluid lead style. For versatile sound-shaping, a Tri-sound switch gives the bridge humbucker three distinct voices. Overall, this signature model embodies the musicality, dynamics and harmonic richness that Scofield is known for.
Smooth Playability for Effortless Soloing
The Scofield Signature Guitar's nyatoh neck and walnut fingerboard feel familiar and fast under your fingers, ideal for navigating complex single-note runs and chord voicings. Medium frets offer a comfortable playing surface without impeding bending and vibrato. Whether you're comping chords or soloing, the neck's ergonomic oval profile lets you play with ease for extended periods.
Versatile Electronics for Vintage and Modern Tones
The Scofield Signature guitar features a pair of Super 58 humbucking pickups for articulate, vintage-voiced tone. At the bridge, a Tri-sound switch selects single-coil, parallel or series wiring for the humbucker, providing three distinct tones with one pickup. Dial in clean jazz chord voicings, overdriven blues leads or anything in between. Combined with a master volume and master tone control, this versatile electronics system is suited for any genre.
Versatile Tri-sound Switch
A versatile Tri-sound switch provides three distinct pickup sounds from the dual Super 58 humbuckers. In the middle "both" position, you get a classic warm humbucker tone. The Tri-sound switch's "inner coil" and "outer coil" positions activate one coil of each humbucker for single-coil-like tones with more clarity and bite. This switch expands the tonal possibilities, allowing you to shape your tone to match any genre or playing style.
Comfortable Playability and Rock-Solid Stability
The Gibraltar Performer bridge provides exceptional sustain and tuning stability during intense playing sessions. Its low-profile saddles allow fast, comfortable fretting across the neck. The Quik Change III tailpiece makes string changes a breeze so you can keep your guitar in optimal playing condition at all times.
