JTV-69 US 3-Tone Sunburst Variax Modeling Guitar (Certified Refurbished)

Every single guitar passes through the most skilled woodworkers, painters and builders in the business. Representing over a century of experience, the talented team demonstrates deep passion and pride while bringing James Tyler’s designs to life.

THE HD MODELING PROCESS: VINTAGE INSTRUMENTS CAPTURED IN INCREDIBLE DETAIL.
The process of modeling a vintage instrument using Variax HD technology is complex. Every facet of the guitar—including the body, electronics and metal parts—influences the way the instrument sounds and responds, and must be captured during modeling. By painstakingly analyzing and capturing every single aspect of the most iconic vintage instruments, the Line 6 team ensured that Variax delivers the sound and feel of the world’s most coveted guitars with stunning detail. The result is accurate and realistic tone reproduction that stays true to the original instruments.

THE CRAFTSMANSHIP OF THE JTV-69
Expertly crafted in the United States, JTV-69-US places cutting-edge Variax® technology inside a premium instrument designed in the image of the first successful solidbody electrics. The classic ash or alder body, quarter-sawn maple neck with rosewood or maple fingerboard, and 25-1/2” scale length provide tonal richness and warmth while preserving the design's historic bright, percussive snap.

To make the most of this stunning tone, the humbucker in the bridge position complements the ‘60s-style single-coil pickups in the neck and middle positions. All pickups are loaded with alnico magnets and wound to James Tyler's specs. To complete the package, JTV-69-US features the comfortable Tyler ’59 neck profile; a James Tyler Custom Tremolo bridge; ultra-stable, quarter-sawn, three-piece maple neck; and your choice of classic and contemporary hand-sprayed finishes.
