Medeski, Scofield, Martin & Wood

The title Medeski, Scofield, Martin & Wood sounds like an ambulance-chasing office full of lawyers, but they sure don’t sound like a court date. We love Jon Scofield here at the Cottage. He’s very original. He’s playing an Ibanez guitar, a sort of knock-off of a Gibson ES 335, or maybe a 330. The only difference is the peghead and the small detail that it’s a much better guitar than the Gibson. Back in the day I played an Ibanez solid body guitar that was more or less a poor man’s Les Paul, only with two cutaways instead of one. It’s the nicest guitar I ever owned, or ever will own. It’s kind of a shame that I never learned to play it properly. But I’m nothing special. Most guitars are wasted on their owners. Scofield’s isn’t.
