“Hey y’all, I’m a private guy, but I do want you to know that I was in a pretty bad cycling accident,” Scott posted on Instagram on 15 August. “Lots of broken things and lots of stitches. I’m fine and will pull through like I have in the past.”

Scott went on to pay tribute to his wife Alice, who he described as “THE GOAT when it comes to caring for me. She deserves a medal.” but revealed that he’s likely to have to take some time away from his hugely popular JHS Show on YouTube while he recovers. “You won’t be seeing my face for a bit (trust me- you don’t want to), and if I haven’t returned your email, DM, or text, this is why. If you’re the praying type, say a few for the swelling, the breaks, and the overall mental weight of it all.”
A popular and influential figure in the guitar world, the comment section of the post featured an outpouring of support and well wishes from the great and good of guitar, including Paul Gilbert, Lari Basilio, ‘Danish Pete’ Honore, Ella Feingold, Dave Hill, Pendulum’s Peredur ap Gwynedd and plenty more besides.

Scott followed up with a second post on 17 October expressing his thanks for the support and providing an update on his current condition, “Thanks to everyone for the countless messages and real help you’ve given our family since the crash,” he began. “I’ve had several moments of overwhelming gratitude thinking about you all. Today’s been tough – lots of soreness setting in, tightness around all the stitches, and plenty of pain. Tomorrow I see some doctors about the breaks. Grateful for you all.”
Only last week, JHS launched the 424 Gain Stage – a lo-fi pedal inspired by the sound of a Tascam portastudio – but it seems Scott will have to take a back seat on product launches for the time being. Everyone at Guitar.com wishes Josh a speedy recovery.
