From Our Research Team:

A Beautiful USA-made Axe That's Loaded with Tone

Get the best of Line 6's Variax modeling in this gorgeous USA-made guitar. First and foremost, the Line 6 JTV-69 USA is an amazing custom-built USA-made guitar. Built to the specifications of the world-renowned master luthier James Tyler, the JTV-69 USA sports a magnificent double-cutaway alder body and an ultra-fast bolt-on maple neck. Unlike the Variax models of the past, the JTV-69 USA features a set of real custom-wound pickups. These pickups (arranged in the H/S/S configuration that's popular for rock and metal) have been designed by James Tyler and built to his specifications. So, even without the Variax technology onboard, the JTV-69 USA is a custom-quality instrument on its own.







Top-of-the-line Variax technology adds serious playing power to the James Tyler Variax JTV-69 USA. This system lets you instantly reshape your sound and retune your guitar with only the turn of a dial or two, letting you instantly change your tuning and/or guitar model. Just twist the tone-selector dial on the JTV-69 USA and jump from a 6-string solidbody to a 12-string acoustic, or from a bold humbucker configuration to a snappy single-coil setup. And applying alternate tunings, such as drop tuning or open tuning, is just as easy. The JTV-69 USA has a second selector wheel up at the neck that lets you instantly switch among 11 tunings without altering either the feel or the tension of your strings. With the JTV-69 USA in your hands, no style or sound is out of reach.

What's even cooler about the JTV-69 USA is that you're not locked into a predefined set of tunings and models. Line 6's Workbench software (a free download from Line 6's website) lets you create custom models on your computer and upload them to your JTV-69 USA via its built-in USB port. Define your body style, dimensions, pickup configuration, etc. - the combinations and possibilities are endless! Plus, defining your own custom tunings is as easy as pushing a couple of buttons, fretting your guitar, and plucking each string individually. Also, a new Li-Ion battery pack gives you 12 solid hours of playing time. Now you can take the stage with a guitar shop's worth of instruments and never have to swap out your axe or its batteries!

Getting a phone call from one of your sales engineers to thank me for my order is just something that does not happen these days. A personal touch is great. Outstanding service and my order arrived as promised in two days.
