I can check on that. That seems reasonable.

As to the complications, they are the same for the guitar but we have been constrained on the amount of guitars we are shipping so that month or two is getting drawn out to many months because we were not shipping in the thousands like we would with the M9 or POD right out of the gate, we have been ramping up production as to not shock the factories system. As I have said before, we are stuffing a computer inside the guitar not just some volume and tone pots. Guitar factories are not used to our needs. But as I said months ago, a major ramp up is happening right now with thousands going out worldwide over the next bunch of weeks.

Thanks for the reply Rich.  I'm still having problems with whatever these "complications" are.  It just seems odd as we usually get other Line 6 products within a month or two of when the are available elsewhere.  And for the other countries you mentioned, they are much further away which is why I would think they may still be waiting.

 

I talked to a rep from L&M today and he did confirm that SF did get some 59's but he said that the 69's, which I think most of us here are waiting for, won't be delivered to SF until late October.  So I should expect early November as a delivery time.  Any truth to that?

 

Cheers,

So vaguely when (if you have any info) would Australia be likely to start getting a few. I know we had 2 come by for a trade show, but no others as I've heard yet. Unless I were to believe the manager at the store I ordered it from, who told me they were in the country several weeks ago but delayed by customs. This store happens to be very well known for constantly telling fibs to customers however. Unfortunatley they're also the only L6 dealers in my town. SO back to the point, will I be likely to get my order filled before next year. As I'm starting to go insane.

I can't begin to describe how not funny I find this piece of information.

Well I enjoyed your post.

 

The fact is that there is something fishy about Line 6, JTV guitars, and distribution to Canada. I suspect that it is somehow related to politics... but maybe more along the lines of Line 6 internal politics. Either way, this whole JTV fiasco has rubbed me the wrong way.

...even though they are on their way I think we would all still like to know how we wound up at the bottom of the list.

 

Couldn't agree more!

 

You guys are not even remotely at the bottom of the list.

 

There is nothing covert going on here. I started looking into worldwide shipping not just Canada back in January and it is all way more complicated for many reasons, completely beyond my control and many times beyond Line 6 control. It is not sinister, just the way it is. There are many places that were waiting. I have been contacted by guys in Australia, Japan, New Zealand, South Africa, Argentina, Brazil, Israel, Turkey and many more. There is no way that I can explain it all. So I am sticking to just letting you know as much as I can.

 

Now, that said. Guitars are going to L&M and all over Canada. We are constrained on the 69 so there were fewer of those going but as I said, all guys who have ordered should be fulfilled very soon.

Constrained??? What does that mean exactly Rich??? Is there a manufacturing issue with the JVT-69, or is it more a parts availability problem? And does this constrained problem cover the Lower 48 as well? Yea I know you guys are stuffing a computer in a guitar and not tone pots like you said, but Line-6 manufacturing has been doing this kind of stuffing since 2003 and the Vax 500, havent you? Shouldnt we all have that issue resolved by now? Just asking what the constraints are... Thanks for the continued info!!!.... JVT-69 Preordered btw....

Reporting in that my korean  JTV-69 LPB (yes LPB) has arrived in the shop after over a 1 year wait. I will collect next week and report back on any issues.

btw, i'm in the UK

I was getting ready to celebrate my 1 year aniversary on the waiting list here on this forum, but now I received a mail that my guitar has been shipped from Thomann, and I have to call off the small and cozy virtual party I had planned, so I guess that guitars are starting to appear in Europe. My excitement about the JTV has worn off a long time ago, but if the guitar is ok when I receive it, I hope that some of it will come back somehow when I start playing it. I am trying to stay positive and hope that I won't have any of the problems that has been mentioned here on the forum, so I cross my fingers and hope that it will be worth the wait. Whish me luck (please).

Best regards

Soren

Sad anniversary .

'Only a few minor issues' Famous Last Words!

After I'd finished my last post with first impressions of my JTV-59 I went back to the guitar, turned everything on and started to play. I immediately noticed the guitar jumped in tone and volume as I worked through a song. I tried another model setting, the modded Tele, this was very muddy and loud - I strummed a few chords and suddenly it became trebly and quiet. I tried a few more models with the same issue.

The issue doesn't replicate itself when I turn off the models and just use the mag pickups. I unplugged and plugged in the guitar lead and started again with the same result on the models. I'm now fully charging my battery (it was 3/4 charged before so likely not the cause of the problem) and will see if the issue persists on a full charge.

Anyone else had this problem?
