Ibanez / Joe Pass JP20 Sunburst / 1980 / Guitar

After Ibanez and other Japanese builders were indicted for violating Copyright, they had to come up with appealing designs of their own and in 1980 Ibanez landed the Jazz giant Joe Pass as a brand endorser. Joe Pass and Maurice Summerfield, a British Archtop builder, inspired by Joe Pass's D'Aquisto Archtop, designed the JP-20, an affordable high-quality archtop. The classic looks of this guitar are what you would expect from an Archtop; laminated spruce top, flamed maple back and sides, bound tortoise pickguard, gold hardware, a single humbucker, 22 frets, ebony fretboard, bridge and tailpiece, and mother of pearl inlay on the headstock and mother of pearl / abalone position markers. This JP-20 is from 1980, The first year of production, and is in excellent condition with some traces of use on the back and some small dents on the laminated spruce top. The frets are original and may have been levelled once or twice. The humbucker has also been replaced. Acoustically this guitar sounds wonderful, but if you plug it in, you understand why these guitars are so popular. A nice, clean, clear tone with a nice deep bass that jazz musicians love. A Japanese vintage guitar that can compete with more expensive American Archtops.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
