The JSM20 is a slightly simpler version of the Prestige model JSM100, which was released on the market in 1991 and has been John's constant companion ever since. The guitar a classic 335a-like classic design, i.e. a semi-thick semi-hollowbody body with a set-in neck and a through middle stock.
The neck is a JSM set-in mahogany neck with a bound ebony fingerboard. The band markers are Pearl and Abalone block inlays of a traditional cut, stylish and timeless. The pickups are classic Ibanez Super 58, a pickup that needs no introduction. Lid and body are made of maple and lacquered in a sober semi-gloss black finish. Stylish and sophisticated, at an attractive price.
