Optimized for Modern Fingerstyle Playing by Virtuoso Jon Gomm

In 2012, acoustic guitar virtuoso Jon Gomm exploded onto the world stage with a viral performance of “Passionflower,” a song showcasing his revolutionary and undeniably emotive style. As part of the modern acoustic fingerstyle movement pioneered by luminaries such as Leo Kottke and Michael Hedges, Jon incorporates percussive taps, slapped harmonics, and alternate tunings, among other advanced techniques. In pushing the acoustic guitar to its limits, he has made numerous modifications to his past instruments to maximize their music-making potential. Teaming with Ibanez, Jon has now designed his ideal instrument: the Jon Gomm Signature JGM10 acoustic-electric guitar. Precisely tailored for modern fingerstyle technique, the JGM10 boasts a tapping-friendly, asymmetric jumbo body; an extended 25-3/4-inch scale length; and dual-output Fishman electronics to highlight even the subtlest nuances of a performance. Guitarists at AJ’s Music & The Music Man have been captivated by Jon’s unique and imaginative approach to fingerstyle playing, so we couldn’t be more excited by the arrival of this equally unique guitar. Transform your acoustic performances into fully realized soundscapes with the Ibanez Jon Gomm Signature JGM10 acoustic-electric!

Asymmetric jumbo body with Thermo-Aged solid Sitka spruce top

The Jon Gomm Signature JGM10’s fingerstyle-centric design begins with its asymmetric jumbo body shape, which provides plenty of surface area for tapping and a focused low-end response for extra thump. Crafted from a Thermo-Aged solid Sitka spruce top with solid pau ferro back and sides, and reinforced with Thermo-Aged spruce modified X-M bracing, the JGM10 is supremely responsive with a wide dynamic range and massive projection. It also sports a Macassar ebony top-loading bridge for fast string changes and improved percussive tones.

Extended scale 5-piece neck, optimized for down tuning

Down tuning is a key element of modern fingerstyle acoustic playing; however, when down tuning on acoustic guitars with traditional scale lengths, you might sacrifice punch, sustain, and feel. To resolve this issue, the Jon Gomm JGM10 features a 25-3/4-inch scale, which helps keep the guitar in proper tension across myriad alternate tunings. Plus, the JGM10’s 5-piece African mahogany and pau ferro neck — capped with a Macassar ebony fretboard and jumbo stainless steel frets — serves up bell-like slapped harmonics, crisp pull-offs and hammer-ons, and rich, articulate strumming with detailed note separation.

Dual-output Fishman electronics for larger-than-life sound

If you’re a solo artist like Jon Gomm, then you understand the challenge of filling up sonic real estate during a live performance using only an acoustic guitar. The JGM10’s unique dual output pickup system empowers you with a wealth of tone shaping options to create a larger-than-life sound. Comprising a Fishman Rare Earth Mic Blend Active Soundhole pickup and a Fishman PowerTap Earth blend system, the JGM10’s electronics offer unmatched clarity and an organic acoustic tone. With the JGM10’s straightforward controls, you can customize your blend of the direct mic, humbucking pickups, and contact pickups, and creatively route the outputs through your preferred effects chain. At AJ’s Music & The Music Man, we’re stunned by the immersive soundfield generated by this instrument, and you will be, too!
