For an authentic Telecaster style that straddles the line between pop-punk and alternative rock, the Jim Adkins JA-90 Telecaster Thinline delivers the sound and spirit of the mid-2000s, reflecting the iconic instrument played by the Jimmy Eat World frontman. Jim Adkins collaborated with us to design this semi-hollow guitar, based on his TC-90 Telecaster and optimized with several specific modifications that make it the very embodiment of a sweet, resonant tone.
Highlights
Semi-Hollow Ash Body
The Jim Adkins JA-90 Telecaster Thinline brilliantly evokes original late-'60s/early-'70s models with its expertly crafted semi-hollow ash body. Lightweight and elegant, it features a classic Fender shape offering exceptional playing comfort and a timeless semi-hollow tone.
Matching Headstock
In addition to its many other qualities, the Jim Adkins JA-90 Telecaster Thinline stands out with the added elegance of a matching headstock.
