A signature semi-hollowbody Telecaster with soapbar pickups!
When platinum-selling Jimmy Eat World guitarist and frontman Jim Adkins cheerfully challenged Fender
by throwing down the gauntlet of designing his perfect electric guitar, a collaboration began that resulted in the Fender
JA-90 Telecaster. Fender sat down with Adkins and went over his old Fender TC-90 spec by spec, making some important changes
that subsequently produced this unique new model. The Jim Adkins Telecaster guitar has a mahogany neck set into a semi-hollow
ash body, Seymour Duncan® Soapbar pickups, independent volume and tone controls, an Adjusto-Matic™ bridge and anchored
tailpiece. The high-output Custom Soapbar SP90-3 pickup uses two large ceramic magnets for extra output, compressed dyanamics,
and sharper attack. The full frequency response delivers extra punch. The Vintage Soapbar SP90-1 has short, wide bobbins for
higher output and more powerful midrange than Strat or Tele single-coils. The tone is sweet and smooth. Sweetness, indeed!
