When you switch to a clean tone, hum, crackle and other noises can easily ruin a perfectly good take.

Thanks to Variax HD technology, every instrument in JTV-89 is free of hum - so you can enjoy great-sounding, consistent tone when the record light is on.

Designed by master luthier James Tyler, JTV-89 is a supreme player's instrument. The mahogany body complements a 24-fret three-piece maple neck with reversed 6-in-line headstock, super-slick Tyler Fast n' Flat profile, and a rosewood fingerboard with 25-1/2" scale length. A pair of custom alnico humbucking pickups - wound to James Tyler's specs for high output, sizzle and sustain - translates this powerhouse to the amp of your choice. It all adds up to punishing lows, searing highs and aggressive midrange.

Knowing that the components of a guitar have an impact on feel and durability as well as tone, Tyler chose only the best neck, pickups, bridge, nut and tuners for JTV-89. Thanks to these premium components, JTV-89 sounds and feels as good as it looks.
