Fender Jim Adkins JA-90 Telecaster Thinline Crimson Red Transparent E-Gitarre

Fender Jim Adkins JA-90 Telecaster Thinline Crimson Red Transparent - Signature electric guitar with character

The Fender Jim Adkins JA-90 Telecaster Thinline Crimson Red Transparent is the result of a close collaboration between guitarist Jim Adkins (Jimmy Eat World) and the Fender Custom Shop. The idea of creating a modern, versatile guitar that also carries the soul of classic Fender designs resulted in an expressive signature model that breaks new ground both visually and sonically. With its semi-hollow body, high-quality Seymour Duncan® P90 pickups and elegant Crimson Red Transparent finish, this guitar is a must-have for guitarists who value character and flexibility.

Fender & Jim Adkins - A powerful sounding collaboration

The basis of the Jim Adkins JA-90 Telecaster Thinline is a modified version of the rare Fender TC-90. Together with the experienced Fender engineers, Adkins analyzed the old model and specifically defined what needed to be improved. The result is an instrument that not only fulfills his individual ideas, but can also serve a variety of musical styles - from indie rock and alternative to blues and jazz.

Fender itself has stood for innovation, quality and iconic design for over 70 years. With the Artist series, the brand focuses on creative collaborations with renowned artists to create instruments that turn musical visions into reality. The JA-90 Telecaster Thinline is a prime example of this philosophy.

Technical details of the Fender Jim Adkins JA-90 Telecaster Thinline

The Fender Jim Adkins JA-90 Telecaster Thinline Crimson Red Transparent has a semi-hollow body made of ash, which not only provides an elegant look, but also convinces in terms of sound. The semi-hollow body gives the guitar a light weight and a pleasant resonance, which is particularly effective with clean and slightly distorted sounds.

The highlight of this model is the dual Seymour Duncan® SP90 single coils. The bridge pickup - an SP90-3 Custom - delivers aggressive mids and a powerful punch, while the neck pickup (SP90-1N RWRP Vintage P90) delivers warm, round tones. This allows a wide range of sounds to be covered - from bluesy licks to powerful rock riffs. The classic 3-way toggle switch allows quick pickup changes while playing.

The four separate controls for volume and tone (for the neck and bridge pickups respectively) enable precise tone control - a feature that many professional guitarists appreciate. This allows the sound to be adjusted individually and dynamically without having to change the amp.

Another feature is the Adjusto-Matic™ bridge with anchored tailpiece, which ensures excellent intonation and tuning stability. The combination of modern hardware and vintage elements such as the skirted amp knobs or the 3-ply black pickguard emphasizes the classic character of the guitar.

The maple neck has a modern "C" profile and, in combination with the Indian Laurel fingerboard and a radius of 9.5", offers outstanding playing comfort. The 22 medium jumbo frets and a scale length of 24.75" (629 mm) ensure a pleasant playing feel, especially when bending and changing chords quickly.
