An Ibanez JSM10 John Scofield signature semi-hollow. I have wanted one since the 80s, and just pulled the trigger on this reissue of a 1982 AS200. I had the pickguard and truss rod cover off because I was inspecting the guitar and making adjustments to the truss rod to compensate for the climate difference after shipping.
I have only played two guitars with similar ease of playability, both from the 70s: a Nippon Gakki (Yamaha) ES175 copy, and an Ibanez Custom Agent.
I guess this is Chi-Fi Guitar-Fi, since this one is made in China.
I had a NGD earlier this month.

So much can be said about guitar neck dimensions. It’s a mix of so many factors, neck thickness, shape, how wide the nut is, the radius choice and fret work done at the end. It’s the style of frets and action, if that’s the action we are used to or physically fits us. And.....it goes on and on....string spacing, type of strings.
And finally finding that mix. It may even be in some guitar we didn’t even expect it to be right in.

I like having a bit more room between strings so that I don't accidentally mute open strings I want to ring out.
I'm pretty sure this would be an end-game guitar if I believed such a thing existed. I subscribe to the X + 1 formula for the perfect number of guitars, where X represents my current number of guitars...
Looks to be a Fender (or Squier) Stratocaster, but I am unsure of the specific model or country of origin.
Do you know the name of the artist? That might help narrow down the specifics...

This guitar only has the small tone bar x-brace under the bridge, no brace on back. The pick-up is only attached to the neck. The neck is laughably almost heavier than the body, which is a surprise when lifting it up.
Going against all tradition, I had this made with cherry back and sides and mahogany tone board, it maybe would have had a brighter sound with a spruce or maple top, though this guitar is not dull/muddy in any way. It actually came out mid-centric and missing much of that early L5-L7 grunt and treble fuzz. It sounds best going though a digital reverb, getting me the 1950s-1960s space tone I was looking for. While not perfect, it's my daily player simply due to ease of use and size. But maybe the best part is the fact that it inspires me to write songs.......somehow songs flow out of it? I could get a smidge more bass going to thicker strings, but due to the build it will rest with .011 acoustic strings it's whole life.
Nazangi Stromgitarren is a german luthier/custom shop and as a fan of Mosrite style guitars, this thing is cool as fxxx
The pickups are made by myself, the body is made of ash, the neck is made of maple with a maple fretboard. I totally adore this thing!
