Still in the acoustic realm, new for 2021 & from an unlikely manufacturer, the Ibanez Jon Gomm signature acoustic (JGM10). Gomm is a percussive finger style player & his techniques are just mind boggling. The guitar sports a simple outline but much thought was given to player needs in this case; bigger / wider body top for percussion, a non-intrusive cutaway that does not subtract bottom / top end definition & volume-inclined bracing, among others. The body is an all solid construction (sitka spruce top, pau ferro back & sides) together with an ebony fretboard. If you are interested in this one, do note that the scale length is slightly longer - 25.75"
It must have been an extra special collaboration for Gomm to move from Lowden to Ibanez & in the video below, you can see that he's simply thrilled.
