IBANEZ JGM10

When Jon Gomm collaborated with Ibanez’s Japanese team on his first signature model with the company, he wanted to created a guitar for the modern fingerstyle player and the fruits are the results of “painstaking testing”.

“It has the perfect scale and string spacing for modern fingerstyle playing,” says Gomm. “It has a more stable neck for retuning. It has a unique triple-source pickup system by Fishman - Rare Earth humbucker, condenser mic and Powertap body sensor - wired so you can use one regular cable, or split into stereo, or even split into three.”

The JGM10 (£ 2,779) also features Thermo-aged Sitka spruce top, pau ferro body, five-piece mahogany/pau ferro neck and a Macassar ebony fretboard. “I love this guitar. I hope you will too,” says the guitarist.
