NEW FENDER ROCK AXXXXXX

FUCKING EMOCASTER JR!!!!!!
HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!!

When Jim Adkins, guitarist and frontman for platinum-selling Jimmy Eat World, cheerfully challenged us to design his perfect guitar, the 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 resulted in this unique new model. Features include a mahogany neck set into a semi-hollow ash body, Seymour DuncanÂ® soapbar pickups, independent volume and tone controls, an Adjusto-Maticâ„¢ bridge and anchored tailpiece. Sweetness, indeed!

probably coming out of the same korean factory as the tc-90s did. i wonder if

a) the bridge pickup will be any better than the tcII
b) it will sound different?
c) is that sill set-neck?

When platinum-selling Jimmy Eat World guitarist/frontman Jim Adkins cheerfully challenged Fender by throwing down the gauntlet of designing his perfect guitar, a collaboration began that resulted in the new Fender JA-90.

To design the JA-90, Fender 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 maple neck set into a semi-hollow ash body, Seymour DuncanÂ® soapbar pickups, independent volume and tone controls, an Adjusto-Matic bridge and a stop tailpiece.

The Fender JA-90 is available in two colours, Crimson Red Transparent (Fender part no. 026-2350-538) and Ebony Transparent (Fender part no. 026-2350-539), both have a Rosewood Fretboard and will be priced around Â£519.99.

The JA90 is a real must-have guitar for those who have not been able to purchase the Fender TC-90 since it was discontinued. The Fender JA-90 Crimson Red Transparent and Ebony Transparent are now available from Digital Village online, in-store or via telephone mail-order.

520 fucking pounds!!!!! reverse boner

I really hated the pickups on the one I played, they were woolly and weak. It could have been a lemon though.

I'm strangely relieved that "Jim Adkins Signature" is not ejaculated all over the lower bout/headstock, but the transparent finishes are doing nothing for me at the moment (butterscotch/pastels being the ace load). Then again, I know little of what a James Consumes Planet frontman would want.

LEMON! I also played a lemon before i got mine. It is the loudest guitar I own. Like, to my ear, 30% louder than my 50s tele.

The bridge pickup is underwhelming at best, but I very seldom use the bridge pckup. SO I wasnt bothered. The neck PU is awrsome though, super deep and tough, but with enough spank.

$750 new.

Nope. 420.

That's the same as a Baja Telecaster basically. Decent pricing.

Aen I'm all about the bridge, so that just won't do.

the TC90 was the same price back in the day. and it was made in korea. thats alotta money for a korean guitar.

but the switches look cooler as well as the double cut tele style

robroe · Post by **robroe** » Thu Sep 25, 2008 2:18 pm

how much would these things fucking cost if they were made in japan or america? christ.

I always thought the TC90 was a Custom Shop guitar. Hah.

Alternatively, do you guys think that pickgaurd would work with a normal Tele bridge and control plate but into it a little?

I'm thinking maybe at the moment.
