The legendary jazz guitarist John Scofield found his perfect match in a 1981 AS200, a guitar whose neck feel became the foundation of his distinctive sound. Scofield's deep connection to this instrument was so profound that he consistently returned to it throughout his career, embodying his philosophy that "You find what you're comfortable with and you stay with it."
This exceptional relationship between artist and instrument led to the development of the JSM John Scofield Model in 2001. The signature guitar faithfully reproduced the beloved characteristics of Scofield's original AS200 whilst incorporating carefully selected enhancements that refined the instrument's performance capabilities.
The JSM represents more than just another signature model - it captures the essence of what made Scofield's original guitar so special whilst offering modern improvements that benefit today's players. This thoughtful approach to instrument design demonstrates how the best signature guitars emerge from genuine artistic partnerships rather than mere commercial ventures.
