The J1 is just so easy to play, the neck is really comfortable and the notes just ring out
JEREMY
J1'59 burst
Only the very best premium grade tops are selected for the J1'59 and are stained to further enhance their deep figuring. The construction of carved maple top on a solid mahogany body gives this guitar plenty of natural sustain and resonance with optional body contouring for extra comfort. The neck is carved from one piece of quarter sawn mahogany, creating a comfortable and stable neck with a great feel. Rosewood is chosen for the fingerboard adding a warmth to the tone with each board being carefully selected for its rich, dark colour.
All hardware is high quality and made in the US and includes a vintage-style Kluson tuneomatic bridge with a lightweight Kluson stop bar. There is a choice of tuners; Sperzel Solid-Pro or Grover deluxe tuners, both guaranteeing fine tuning and smooth operation. The guitar is fitted with high quality CTS pots and a Switchcraft toggle switch. A 50’s wiring scheme is used in all our guitars as we have found that it minimises treble loss when rolling back the volume.
Bare Knuckle unpotted humbuckers are fitted as standard with a 'Mule' humbucker in the neck position for its outstanding clarity, extended dynamic range and unmistakable vintage character. A 'Riff Raff' pickup is selected in the bridge position for plenty of snap and a classic range of organic, clean and driven tones.
