The middle position yielded a fuller sound as expected without any loss of the high end, while the neck position was voiced too dark for my tastes.Īdditionally, the output of the neck humbucker is a touch too hot to really complement the outstanding vintage-voiced bridge pickup. Backing off on the nicely voiced tone control cut the perfect amount of bite, leaving all the creamy mids intact for some great Tom Petty-ish tones. While all single coils hum, the hum was manageable and not excessive as is the case with many cheap stock pickups. This guitar screams for tweedy grit and slapback delay and I was happy to oblige. Without thinking, I started chickin’ pickin’ and pulling off double stop bends. Tonally, the bridge pickup was shockingly good with a nice, stringy, open sound and the perfect amount of strident twang one would expect. Fret ends were dressed perfectly couldn’t find a single rough edge. After leveling the frets and resetting the action and intonation, the guitar plays beautifully. The 13th fret was a little high on the treble side causing the high e string to fret out at the 12th fret. The comfy, medium profiled maple neck is seated with medium-sized frets and features a dark (rosewood?) “skunk stripe” down the back. Bummer! It would be a much more beautiful guitar if the finish was slightly more translucent. At a distance greater than about 10 to 15 feet the flamed maple laminate top can’t be seen.
However, the finish is a little too orange to be called “Cherryburst”. This review focuses on the Chinese made JT-LT Custom Deluxe which is modeled on the Fender Telecaster Deluxe concept featuring a neck humbucking pickup with a traditional style single-coil bridge pickup and standard three positions switch/volume/tone wiring.Ĭosmetically, the flawless double binding and gold hardware really add up to a guitar that looks much more expensive than it is. The company is known for offering quality instruments with fairly consistent quality standards at an affordable price. Jay Turser was an early adopter of the bulk import/eBay resell business model.
