Ibanez Jon Gomm Signature JGM11 Jumbo Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Thermo-Aged Solid Sitka Spruce Top
Manufacturer's Description
Jon Gomm, based in Yorkshire in the UK, is an acoustic singer-songwriter with a revolutionary virtuoso guitar style, where he uses one acoustic guitar to create drum sounds, bass lines and twisting melodies all at the same time. The emphasis is still on the soulful vocals and songwriting, and his original material is influenced by everything from Robert Johnson to Radiohead.
His live shows combine deeply personal, emotive performances and a natural wit, with a once seen, never forgotten two-handed guitar style, both physical and complex, producing sounds people can barely believe are coming from a humble acoustic guitar.
5pc African Mahogany/Maple neck
The African Mahogany and Maple 5pc neck has enhanced durability.
Macassar Ebony fretboard
Macassar Ebony produces tight lows and mid range along with strong attack in the highs and quick response with rich sustain.
Jumbo Stainless Steel frets
Stainless steel frets boast excellent corrosion resistance. The wide and tall fret-type offers a quick response and effortless articulation when playing chords and clear tone when playing single notes.
Thermo Aged™ Solid Sitka Spruce top
Thermo Aged™ Solid Sitka Spruce Top delivers a vintage dry sound.
Solid African Mahogany back and sides
Solid African Mahogany back and sides offer full-bodied warm mid range.
Fishman® Rare Earth Mic Blend Active Soundhole pickup, Tap pickup
The combination of Fishman® Rare Earth Mic Blend Active Soundhole pickup and Tap pickup offers a warmer, more natural acoustic tone with clarity of sounds.
PowerTap Earth Blend
Blending the Rare Earth Mic Blend Active Soundhole pickup with Tap pickup, Fishman® PowerTap Earth Blend system allows the guitar to capture the string vibration through the whole body and neck, which provides a rich acoustic tone and a dynamic percussive sound from the body and neck.
Macassar Ebony top loading bridge
For a better percussive sound, the Macassar Ebony bridge features a top loading system without a bridgepin. It also offers a fast and easy method for string changes.
Asymmetric jumbo body
Developed for modern fingerstyle players, the asymmetric jumbo body features a low-end focused sound and tapping friendly shape.
Dual Outputs (Magnetic pickup/Contact pickup/Microphone outputs)
Plugged into the endpin jack only: Magnetic pickup + Contact pickup + Microphone with mixed output
Plugged into both the endpin jack and the mono flush mount endpin jack: Magnetic pickup, Contact pickup and Microphone running independently. (a TRS to TRS cable or a TRS to stereo ”Y” cable should be used). Endpin Jack = Magnetic pickup, Microphone output, Mono flush mount endpin jack = Contact pickup output
25 3/4 inch scale
A 25 3/4 inch scale helps to maintain proper tension and pitch even while down tuning, a technique modern finger players often utilize. This scale-length also delivers improved sustain.
Fiberglass case included
The Ibanez fiberglass case offers extreme protection for your instrument.
