The ultra stylish Fender Jim Adkins JA-90 Telecaster Thinline Electric Guitar gives you pro grade features like a set neck and Seymour Duncan pickups at an amazing price! When Jimmy Eat World guitarist and frontman Jim Adkins collaborated with Fender in designing his perfect guitar, the result was his signature JA-90 Telecaster Thinline.
Fender craftsmen sat down with Adkins and went over his old Fender TC-90 spec by spec, making several important changes that subsequently produced the JA-90. Features include a mahogany neck set into a semi-hollow ash body, Seymour Duncan soap-bar pickups, and an Adjusto-Matic bridge and anchored tailpiece.

| Quality |
| Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? |
| This guitar is incredibly well made. It is somewhat shocking that an Indonesian Fender import can be so good, but it absolutely is. The neck is dead straight, and the frets are well done. The neck joint is superb. The acoustic sound quality of this instrument is fantastic, and it has great sustain. This guitar stands up to any other guitar I own, some of which cost 5 times as much! |
|
| Reliability |
| How has it stood up over time? |
| I have only had mine for a month, but I don't believe I am going to have any problems with it. But, like many others, the nut on the output jack was loose, A little dab of thread lock and it will never bother me again. |
|
| Overall |
| Your general opinion of this product. |
| I absolutely love this guitar. It is a true tone monster! The Duncan P90's sound awesome, and with the controls set up like an LP, there is a lot of tonal versatility to be had. It has become my most played guitar, and the one I take with me on the go. |
|
| Playability and Feel |
| How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? |
| Thanks in part to the partially hollow Ash body, this guitar is not heavy at all. It has a great feeling neck, a little slimmer than an LP with the 60's style neck. With all of the controls set up and placed like an LP, I have no trouble with them. Most of my other instruments are LP's. |
|
| Tone |
| Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? |
| A chameleon in the tone department. I have found that a little experimentation with the volume and tone controls, as well as the amplifier controls, yields many hues of glorious tone. Hot, warm or cool, I can get what ever I need from it. I am impressed every time I plug this guitar into my amp(s). |
|
| Finish |
| How did the stain or paint job look? |
| Flawless clear coat. |
|
| Action |
| How was the action out of the box? |
| The action was good, and totally playable out of the box. However, I actually had to raise it a little to suit my taste. The higher the action, the better the tone! |
