As one sixth of progressive metallers Periphery, Jake Bowen is no stranger to boundary pushing. So when it came to working with a manufacturer to build his signature model, who better than Ibanez - a company who have been responsible for building iconic guitars for many musical pioneers, including: Joe Satriani; Steve Vai; Paul Gilbert; as well as Marten Hagstrom and Fredrik Thordendal (Meshuggah). When it comes to crafting sublime signature models that adhere strictly to the artist's vision, Ibanez exceed expectations every time. The Ibanez JBM20 Jake Bowen Signature Electric Guitar in Matte Black isn't just a powerful guitar that plays like a dream, but it looks absolutely stunning too.

Sleek RGA Body Shape

The body is modelled on the RGA body shape - itself modelled on the classic RG body shape -, which means it benefits from sleekly contoured curves, with deep double-cutaways, and a beautiful arched top. The body back is shaped from mahogany to establish a substantial mid to low-end energy, with an enviable sustain that carries warmth and power. Married to the mahogany is a delicately shaped maple top to guarantee a balanced resonance, and brilliant clarity across the upper mid to high-end frequency range. Simply put, the tonewood combination gives the JBM20 a generous output that is powerful yet nuanced.

Wizard III 3-Piece Maple Neck

To facilitate a fast and free playing-feel, Ibanez has employed their Wizard III neck profile across the three-piece maple neck. Built with durability, stability and resonance in mind, the neck feels exceptionally comfortable, enabling your hand to glide along with ease. Paired with the neck is a luxurious rosewood fingerboard, which is home to 24 jumbo frets - with a unique 12th fret inlay -, that are bound in order to accommodate seamless transitions between each fret.

Jake Bowen Signature Pickups

Bowen's signature model wouldn't quite be the same without his signature DiMarzio Titan pickups, and the JBM20 is fitted with one each in the neck and bridge. The bridge pickup produces a tight and aggressive response, which is perfect for executing deep chugging palm mutes, and is great for choppy rhythm licks. The neck pickup delivers a punchy sound output with a fat response without ever becoming muddy, making it perfect for searing leads and brilliant clean tones. Periphery
