All user reviews of 2/5 for the Fender Jim Adkins JA-90 Telecaster

Basically it's a Telecaster Thinline with 2 Seymour Duncan P90, a Franciscan and a gibson type set neck. For the rest everything is on the fender website.
fender that does not say is that this model is manufactured in Indonesia with a lousy care (neck twisted, crooked screws, selector "shaky", cut in pieces of hearing ...) Supplied without cover. For a guitar that is 619 euros foutage of the mouth. We really feel like a bad buy Squier

UTILIZATION

An electric guitar ... 2 volume, 2 tone, 3-position selector ....
The set neck is comfortable and provides a perfect access to acute. It is a Thinline hearing is therefore easily grabs in the feedback distortion.

SOUNDS

a lot of people ask me so I answer: NO this guitar has nothing to do with a standard telecaster! So if you made the country, funk and rockabilly telecaster this is really not good!.
In the clear:
seymour the crunch very quickly, extremely hard to have a real clear sound. It is also very dark and castling. knobs are useless because basically it's all or nothing. There are however a slight crack in an intermediate position fenderien but nothing do with a standard tele or stratum. We have a very clear sound trite and I do not find beautiful at all.
distortion in:
The Seymours fend sauce admittedly, it can quickly play metallica. But I think that was not a single sound or a sound double ... the sound is very compressed view stifled. the style of choice for this quitar is the pop / punk rock or US (Blink, Green Day, Paramore and of course Jimmy Eat World). A bit of metal but it is 80 years. mics accentuate the low register of the Thinline overdrive and thus obtained a slurry sound unusable.

OVERALL OPINION

I sold it after 2 weeks. At least not according to purchase .... A bad guitar or at least not at that price. In squier 200/300 euros to be yes but not in the fender 600. Also, I am not a supporter of the US made in the contrary I prefer mexico but on this Indonesian model quality is really zero! A shame!
