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 guitar. Fender craftsmen sat down with Adkins and went over his old Fender TC-90 spec by spec, making several important changes that subsequently produced this unique model. Features include a maple neck set into a semi-hollow ash body, Seymour Duncan soap-bar pickups, independent volume and tone controls, Adjusto-Matic bridge and anchored tailpiece. Sweetness.

Semi-Hollow Ash Body

The Jim Adkins JA-90 Telecaster Thinline expertly evokes the late-’60s/early-’70s originals with a finely crafted semi-hollow ash body. Lightweight and stylish, it’s a classic Fender form with pronounced playing comfort and timeless semi-hollow tone.

Matching Headstock

In addition to its many other fine features, the Jim Adkins JA-90 Telecaster Thinline features the added elegance of a matching painted headstock.
