Fender Jim Adkins JA-90 Thinline Telecaster, Ebony

Full Description

When Jim Adkins, guitarist and frontman for platinum-selling Jimmy Eat World, cheerfully challenged Fender with designing his perfect electric guitar, a collaboration began that resulted in the new JA-90.

The Fender Jim Adkins JA-90 Thinline Telecaster in Transparent Ebony

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 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!
