For authentic alt-rock pop-punk Telecaster style, the Jim Adkins JA-90 Telecaster Thinline delivers the authentic mid-2000s tone and vibe of the Jimmy Eat World frontman's distinctive instrument. Adkins joined us to design this semi-hollow guitar, based on his TC-90 Telecaster and hot-rodded with several special design modifications that make it the very embodiment of sonic "sweetness."

I'd give that a go if I saw it in a shop somewhere. Wouldn't go out of my way to find one though.

Tune-o-matic on a tele fail. Thumbs down.

 

[Bob411]

Had no idea fender ever made guitars in Indonesia and put Fender on the headstock. How bad are these? I really, really don't like the pickguard on a normal Thinline so, anything is an improvement.

 

[Chicken Man]

Yeesh. There's a lot going on there. The painted headstock is a bridge too far for me.

 

[Aahzz]

I hate that style pick guard on a tele.

Who is Jim Adkins?

 

[BlockInlay]

Guessing this sounds nowhere near as good as an LP special

 

[Chad]

Would

 

[DinoMikeSr]

Erect.

 

[Guitar Heel]

I don't care for the finish, but these used to be a pretty good value, if I recall.

[jelloman]

Whacky Tele is still a Tele ..

 

[dodgechargerfan]

I’d try it.
If it did something interesting and unique, then sure, I’d go for it.

 

[Denverdave]

I really want to like that....but it is only meh IMHO.

 

[jp_nyc]

It’s interesting. But I’d just buy an SG special.

 

[mongooz]

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII LIKE IT!!!!

 

[Tralfaz]

Who is Jim Adkins?

The Texas Hammer! The tough, smart guitarist who will fight tooth and nail to get you every riff, every lick, every wailing string bend you deserve!

[Monson]

Then I'd rather have an SG with P-90s.
