Description

Edit description

JB model features a 24.75" scale and 22 frets, for those players more at home in Kalamazoo than California. As well as the usual premium tonewoods, aged nitrocellulose finishes and hand-wound Mojo Pickups, we've got creative with the wiring and added a Loud switch to instantly combine both pickups into one giant, gnarly super 'bucker.

Fidelity Guitars JB review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

Fidelity Guitars' JB model is a striking choice for those seeking retro vibes, featuring unique aesthetics and solid craftsmanship. The guitar's lightweight design and quality hardware shine, making it comfortable to play. However, the unconventional neck shape and rotary pickup selector may not cater to all players, potentially alienating traditionalists. While its tonal versatility offers a range of sounds from bright cleans to gritty rock, the niche appeal might limit its broader acceptance. A solid option for adventurous musicians, but those preferring mainstream designs may want to look elsewhere.

It sounds wonderful, I love the neck (though on the thinner side generally), all quality components, and the design is on the well-worn side. They are beautiful guitars, made in Cambridge. They use Mojo pickups as well. P90 size goldfoil in the neck, Mojotron in the bridge, and they are predictably brilliant.
