DISC Line 6 JTV-59 James Tyler Variax, Cherry Sunburst

Pełny opis

Finely Crafted Guitar

Inspired by the archetypal single-cut set-neck guitar, the JTV-59 employs tonewoods that have made this format legendary since the 50s. The Mahogany body with carved Maple top combine with a Mahogany set neck and a ebony fingerboard to produce a classic sound. The two alnico humbucking pickups are wound to James Tyler's own specs along the lines of the classic PAFs but with a little extra punch in the bridge.

Master luthier, James Tyler, has crafted this guitar with a number of features designed to help you sound your best. The neck shape is designed for easy playability and the neck joint provides absolute access to the upper frets. The custom wraparound bridge is designed for superior tuning stability as is the premium guitar nut. The long lasting, rechargeable lithium-ion battery delivers at least 12 hours of play and LED indicators let you know how long you have left. When you're not using the guitar, simply roll down the volume and the electronics will go to sleep to save power. The pickup bypass function means you can always use the guitar without batteries too.

Reviews

"The amount of just plain fun that I had with the JTV-59 was undeniable. And there's so many great sounds available for adding that little something extra to your tunes, that it could become an indispensable tool in pro and project studios alike. If you're a guitarist whose sense of adventure remains intact, the JTV-59 could pay sonic dividends on your investment for a lifetime." Jordan Wagner, Premier Guitar

"The James Tyler Variax is my combination secret weapon and Swiss Army knife. Whenever I go to the studio, it goes with me. Need a Tele? I got it. Wish you had a sitar? No problem. This guitar has filled more sonic production holes than any instrument or device I have ever owned." Reeves Gabrels (David Bowie, Tin Machine)

"This thing is amazing live. At one point of the show I go from 1/2 step down tuning to standard tuning with a drop D instantly! I no longer sweat the show order and guitar changes - JTV allows me to just PLAY!" Jerry McPherson (Tim McGraw band)
