There’s something instantly striking about the Jim Adkins JA-90 the moment you see it. The Crimson Transparent finish isn’t just red—it’s deep, glassy, and rich, letting the grain breathe through in a way that feels far more boutique than “signature model.” It’s one of those guitars that looks bold on a stand, but even better once it’s in your hands.
This one is in like-new condition, with hardly any signs of use. The finish is sharp and clean, the body edges are crisp, and it honestly feels like a guitar that spent most of its life in a case rather than on a stage. The upgraded locking tuners are a huge plus here—rock-solid tuning stability and faster string changes, without compromising the guitar’s aesthetic.
Where this guitar really separates itself from a typical Tele is the construction and pickup layout. The JA-90 features a set mahogany neck, a semi-hollow body, and a pair of Seymour Duncan P-90s that deliver a warmer, more resonant voice than you’d expect from anything wearing a Telecaster badge. Clean tones are open, full, and airy, with a piano-like low end and a smooth top that never gets brittle. Push it into gain and the P-90s respond with thickness and clarity—gritty when you want it, but never muddy.
It’s a guitar that feels alive acoustically, and that resonance carries straight through the amp. Compared to a traditional solid-body Tele, this one sounds bigger, rounder, and more expressive—perfect for players who want warmth, sustain, and character without losing articulation.
It comes with a soft gig bag, keeping things lightweight and practical while still offering protection.

Like all my guitars, this one’s been cared for and dialed in—no guesswork, no surprises, just a great instrument that’s ready to play. I personally inspect and test every guitar before it ships, making sure it’s in the exact condition I’d want to receive myself. These guitars come from me, not a shop—each one gets the kind of attention and care only a real guitar lover gives. Ships fast and fully insured
I bought this guitar, inspected it, photographed it, dialed it in, and I'll be the one packing it. If something isn't right when it arrives, you're not filing a ticket — you're emailing the person who put it in the box.
Same guitar, same packing, same insurance, same 3-day return window you'd get anywhere else I list it. It just costs less here, because there's no platform fee in the price.
Questions before you buy? Ask me anything — more photos, a specific measurement, or anything the listing doesn't cover.
