A beautiful-sounding one-trick-pony guitar may provide just the right tone for one song, but switching to another guitar mid-set can cause distractions. So, Jordan selected five stellar guitars with enough tonal diversity to give you the muscle your songs require while inspiring you to stay in the moment.
PRS SE Custom 24 Floyd
Get exceptional tonal range by moving effortlessly between full humbucker warmth and sparkling single-coil clarity, thanks to the SE Custom 24 Floyd’s split-coil pickups. The mahogany body and maple top combination delivers an articulate, singing voice that cuts through a full band mix, and the Floyd Rose 1000 tremolo adds expressive versatility without sacrificing tuning stability during a service.
Fender Player II Stratocaster HSS
Experience the legendary feel and playability of one of music’s most iconic platforms backed by an HSS pickup configuration that delivers a naturally wide tonal range without ever needing a coil split. The alder body produces the bright, snappy character the Stratocaster is known for, giving you crisp, defined tones that sit beautifully in a worship mix whether you’re laying down clean rhythms or stepping into a lead moment.
Suhr GT Series Andy Wood Modern T
Play confidently and expressively with this boutique-grade instrument. The exacting standards of Andy Wood’s signature specifications deliver effortless playability and responsiveness in a guitar that’s simply a joy to play. The ash body and maple neck produce a bright, articulate tone with exceptional note separation while the split-coil humbuckers allow seamless movement between thick, full-bodied drive and transparent single-coil clarity at any moment during a worship set.
Ibanez BER10 Bernth Signature
Craft your tones with three distinct pickup voices on tap from the signature Fishman Fluence active humbuckers, spanning from shimmering, pristine cleans all the way to muscular, razor-sharp humbucking drive without ever reaching for a pedal. The heat-treated maple neck, ebony fingerboard, and stainless steel frets combine to deliver a playing experience that stays fast and comfortable throughout a service, freeing you to stay fully present in the music rather than wrestling with the instrument.
Ernie Ball Music Man JP15
Dive into an even deeper and wider pool of electric tones produced by DiMarzio Illuminator humbuckers with coil-split options combined with the Fishman Powerbridge piezo system for seamless blending of realistic acoustic textures. The onboard push-push volume boost delivers up to 20dB of clean gain on demand, giving your music a powerful, built-in lift for key worship moments or when you step into a solo without needing to pedal dance.
