Which Ibanez model is Jesse Van Ruller using here?

[Irwin1993]

Does anyone know what model he uses? I thought at first it was the JSM10 because it has the three way selector+that style headstock. But I have noticed it doesn't have the Sco truss rod cover which is making me second guess if its the JSM10.
I'm asking because I think I may have finally given into my shoulder discomfort/tension trying to play single cutaway/deeper cut archtops. That being said, I'm becoming more open to sacrafice my desired tone(more acoustic) in order to finally feel comfortable playing the instrument.
Thanks!

In the second video the truss rod cover appears to read "Artist," which suggests this is an Ibanez AS200. That's the guitar Sco played for a couple decades before the JSM series was developed.

I agree it's probably the AS200!

You mean ... That is the guitar Scofield still is playing despite Ibanez releasing the JSM series

He has two that he has been alternating since the 80s ... a burst one and a black one

Thanks for the help guys!

Is there anyway that the jsm10 is comparable in terms of tone mostly? Or are they not even in the same realm due to being made in a different era, country, pickups ect.

Very different sounds between recent models and the old AS200s. The Super 58 pickups on the early AS200 are magnificent. I have a 1980 AS200 and the general sound is very close to that of my 1961 ES-175D with PAFs - just a little hotter. The later pickups are nice but they are not in the same league - a little more brittle/bright (fine if that's what you like).
About 18 months ago Sco played a set at our local theatre just outside of Paris - maybe 1200 seats. Incredibly intimate, and he played his old sunburst AS200 through an AC30. I chatted with him afterwards and he said that this particular guitar just felt and sounded "right" in his hands. I guess a few of us are lucky like that to come across an instrument that really says "I''m the instrument for you - please keep me and play me". My AS200 and my 1973 Ibanez Concorde 754 (Everley Brothers look alike) both speak to me that way.

Thanks Ray for the info and the cool story from the maestro himself!
