Semi-hollow character. P90 bite. Built around a songwriter’s vision.

Designed with Jimmy Eat World guitarist and frontman Jim Adkins, the Fender JA-90 Telecaster Thinline brings a distinctive combination of construction, pickups, and feel to the familiar Telecaster shape. A semi-hollow ash body, set maple neck, and dual Seymour Duncan P90 pickups make this signature model an inspiring choice for ringing chords, gritty rhythms, and expressive leads.

Finished in Crimson Red Transparent with a matching headstock, black pickguard, and a single f-hole, the JA-90 looks as individual as the music it invites you to create.

Two P90s, Plenty of Character

A Seymour Duncan SP90-3 Custom P90 at the bridge pairs with an SP90-1N RWRP Vintage P90 at the neck. Together, they offer a range of sounds—from warm, rounded passages to assertive riffs with plenty of bite.

Each pickup has its own volume and tone controls, letting you shape contrasting sounds or fine-tune their blend. An upper-bout three-way toggle keeps pickup selection within easy reach.

A Comfortable Twist on the Telecaster

The JA-90 combines a Modern “C” maple neck with a 24.75" scale length, giving it a distinct feel within the Fender lineup. Its Indian laurel fingerboard features a comfortable 9.5" radius and 22 medium jumbo frets for smooth chord work and expressive bends.

The set-neck construction and semi-hollow ash body are central to the guitar’s design, bringing Jim Adkins’ preferred features together in one cohesive instrument.

Striking Style, Straightforward Hardware

The Crimson Red Transparent finish showcases the ash body, while the matching headstock and skirted amp knobs complete the signature look. A six-saddle Adjusto-Matic bridge and anchored tailpiece provide individual intonation adjustment in a fixed-bridge setup.

Whether you’re building layered arrangements or driving a chorus home, the JA-90 offers a compelling mix of Fender style, P90 personality, and player-focused design.
