Fans of the progressive rock guitarist Jake Bowen can now more closely approximate his tone with his Signature Series guitar, courtesy of Ibanez. With DiMarzio pickups voiced specifically for the Jake Bowen series, you can achieve timbres perfect for ambient open chords, palm-muted chug-a-thons, or velvety, liquid lead-breaks. You know what else helps with tone? The 5-way pickup selector, wired to include a parallel-coil configuration on the neck pick up.
Bolted onto the maple-topped mahogany body is a 5-piece maple/walnut neck with 24 jumbo frets and a bound ebony fingerboard. For full access to the upper registers, the guitar’s cutaways have been scooped and contoured for playing comfort. A Lo-Pro Edge locking tremolo bridge preserves intonation while facilitating whammy chicanery, while gold Sperzel Trim-Lock machineheads sit atop the headstock.
This instrument comes with a spiffy hardshell case too, so you’ll be able to carry it around town at your leisure.
