About

JTV-69 is designed in the classic 25-1/2” scale, 3-pickup tradition. Its alder body, maple neck, and 22-fret rosewood fingerboard produce a bright, percussive snap but can yield plenty of bluesy warmth when required.

The brand-new James Tyler Custom Tremolo bridge, which was engineered for increased resonance and improved tuning stability, gives you access to the smooth vibrato action that is a big part of this breed of guitar.

A PAF-style humbucker in the bridge complements the vintage-style single-coil pickups in the neck and middle positions. (All are loaded with alnico magnets and wound to James Tyler's specs.)

JTV-69 guitars are carefully constructed to exacting standards at one of the world's most respected guitar factories. Upon arrival at its region of sale, each instrument undergoes a high-quality, multi-point setup and inspection.
