Truly a beautiful guitar Nick. I get where you're coming from.

A really nice introduction to this semi, I like a lot the neck PU sound! Your introduction is well done, and your playing, too! Thx for your work for all of us, who look for a jazzy hollow! Kind regards, Henry 👍✌👋

I just purchased the AS73, my first guitar was an Ibanez grx40. 27 years later I’ve returned to the Ibanez.

[carvingbone]

Excellent presentation and insights, great playing to boot. Nice one Nick!

[JJTricksProductions]

Good to see you back! I am glad you have been able to stay active since we're in New Zealand! Life is tough for working musicians right now!

I have a JSM10 and soon after buying it second hand had Lollar Imperial pickups installed which made all the difference. The originals just didn't cut it but the JSM10 is the lower end model. It plays like a top end axe since fitting the Lollar Humbuckers.

A Kiwi guitar player - I love a talented musician and guitar player. I love all my guitars and amps, which I only have because I love them! Semi-hollow body guitars? I have an Epiphone Sheraton 50th anniversary model from 2012 that I love, they shipped the husk (body w/neck attached) to Gibson, where the hardware and electronics were installed, including mini-humbucker pickups that sound wonderful. It hasn't been getting played in awhile, so I need to get it

[ishgumi]

I guess we are in full agreement on this, since I am the proud owner of two JSM100's (2001 and 2007) and a similar Talman Prestige... Absolutely LOVE them!

Thanks for another fab video. I’m looking to try out the new Ibanez as2000. I hope to hear a choir of angels as I open the case.

Great to see you back on YouTube, Nick. You inspired me to buy a JSM100 a few months ago, but I couldn't find one in Oz for love nor money. I finally settled on an Ibanez AS93, and although it might be considered a poor man's JSM100, I absolutely love it - a very versatile instrument, reasonably priced, and really well made.

[Gilyslas]

Hey Nick, nice playing. I am a proud owner of a JSM100 and I totally love the instrument. Keep making great videos :)

[spikeafrican]

I have the AS153 which is very similar and also shockingly good. Im a strat player normally but this is just such and incredible instrument that it too is now my number one. Other than a fairly minor neck set up, I've changed nothing. Its a lifer for sure. Thx.

[jayduby]

You need to post more often to keep your chanel alive, great playing skills by the way

[shane]

Get my JSM100 in a few days just waiting for the Guitar shop to finish setting it up.

[TimBeauBennett]

Love it Nick. I played with one of the cheap newer AR models for a while - great, but my god it was heavy. Then I got lucky and picked up an 80s AM50 which has been A++

Honestly with Scofield, Monder, Muller and more having played AS200s, it was a series that I always wanted. Good to hear the JSM lives up to the reputation of the line.

Hey Nick, I have an '78 Performer PF300NT, '82 Artist AR305AV, '83 George Benson GB10NT, '83 Artist AM205AV, so yeah, I am all in on Ibanez. Only my bespoke-built (Bryant) Michael Guitar, designed by my childhood BFF Willie Carter that he gifted me has broken my longtime Ibanez spell. It is sort of an offset S style, but it is 24.5" scale with 24 frets, single neck pickup (Fralin). It took me a moment to get used to it, but I really like it now. After leaving Santa Cruz Guitars about 15 years ago, Willie launched his own bespoke acoustic guitar company called Carter | Poulsen Guitars $8700 starting price.

If I may suggest, you need to find a throw rug to cut down the echo in your studio. It really impacts the quality of your spoken word portions of the video. Good luck ramping up the channel!

I have the AS 93 and it's more or less similar to this one.. As far as I know, the pickups, body shape and neck are the same or at least very close.. Playing it, I was very happy since the neck is very comfortable, it sustains well, it's affordable and I was wondering what would a much more expensive ES 335 add more or different since those super 58 pickups are excellent..

[mathieuvaylet]

i have an 81 .... lucky me !!! it needs a refret, and the neck is a bit large for me, but the sound is fantastic !!!

JSM-100 is truly great! Happy to have one
