Ibanez JGM5 Jon Gomm Electro Acoustic, Black Satin Overview
Jon Gomm is a singer-songwriter from the UK known for his virtuosic fingerstyle ability. Jon’s guitar playing style is highly technical and unique - it’s hard to believe that all of the sounds are being created by only Jon and his guitar. Jon Gomm has collaborated with Ibanez to create the perfect guitar for his playing style and is a great guitar for anyone who wants to emulate his unique sound.
The Ibanez Jon Gomm Signature Electric Acoustic Guitar has an asymmetrical jumbo body that delivers a focused low end and has a tapping-friendly shape. The 25 3/4" scale helps maintain proper tension and pitch even if you tune your guitar down as many fingerstyle players do. The body has Pau Ferro back and sides which deliver a well-balanced tone with a full-bodied mid and high range, and a Thermo Aged Solid Sitka Spruce top, which has a large frequency range and delivers shimmering highs, tight mids and a full low end.
The neck is an African Mahogany/Pau Ferro 5-piece which provides extra durability and is topped with a Macassar Ebony fretboard. Inside is Thermo Aged Spruce Modified X-M Bracing, which creates a highly responsive sound with a wide dynamic range, and the Thermo-Ageing process makes it lighter while also adding structural stability for increase resonance. The Ibanez Jon Gomm Signature also has a Macassar Ebony top-loading bridge which lets you change strings quickly and easily.
The Ibanez Jon Gomm Signature features a Fishman Rare Earth Mic Blend Active Soundhole pickup and Tap pickup which offers a warm, natural acoustic tone with great clarity, and is paired with a Fishman PowerTap Earth Blend system which lets the guitar capture the string vibration through the whole body and neck, delivering a rich acoustic tone.
Includes an Ibanez Gig Bag.
