Product Description
Fender Jim Adkins JA-90 Telecaster in Natural
This popular Tele, the JA-90, is now offered in a new natural finish. The Jim Adkins Tele JA-90 is very specifically crafted to suit the Jimmy Eat World frontman's sound. The combination of a semi-hollow body and Seymour Duncan soapbars means a classic look with modern nuances.
Jim Adkins says...
"I used the prototype [of this guitar] to track most of our new album. Probably not a first guitar, but definitely in the zone of a second guitar; someone wanting to move up from their starter guitar. The sound is more single cutaway Deluxe than Tele, but the Seymour-Duncan pickups make it unlike them both as you're used to it."
Here's what Fender say about the Jim Adkins JA-90
When Jim Adkins, guitarist and frontman for platinum-selling Jimmy Eat World, cheerfully challenged Fender with designing his perfect guitar, a collaboration began that resulted in the new JA-90. We sat down with Adkins and went over his old Fender TC-90 spec by spec, making some important changes that subsequently produced this unique new model. Features include a mahogany neck set into a semi-hollow ash body, Seymour Duncan soapbar pickups, independent volume and tone controls, an Adjusto-Matic bridge and anchored tailpiece. Sweetness, indeed!
