This JSM10 of Scofield's Signature instrument reflects his desire to offer a Guitar that meets his high standards, but falls within the reach of young working players. The JSM10's semi-hollow Flamed Maple Body is visually refined work of craftsmanship that enables clean, clear, warm tone: a character further enhanced by the solid Sapele neck. For extended tone options, the JSM10 comes with two Super 58 custom pickups and a Tri-Sound switch for the neck pickup that allows you to select humbucker in Series (traditional), parallel (brighter, single coil type tone w/ lower output and hum cancellation) or coil-tapping for a single coil sound. An ART1 bridge provides improved sustain and tuning stability.
I loved the way the neck felt on my 1981 AS200, and that was the guitar I always returned to. You find what you're comfortable with and you stay with it. This became the basis for the JSM John Scofield Model introduced in 2001, which reproduced the original AS200 guitar, with added improvements.
