The switches in the 59 are not fixed yet. Line 6 is still waiting on the new switches to be made and shipped to them.

I doubt you'll be able to find a jtv59 in any store at the moment as they are 1) still fixing the switches and 2) well behind on shipping to pre-orders to the US, Europe, Canada, Australia, etc.

Gulherme to na mesma situação que vc, vou dia 12 e volto dia 28, to querendo saber qdo chegam as guitarras lá, pelo q vi nos sites ta previsto entre 06/06 e 13/06. E quanto a esse problema do Switch será que as próximas já virão sem ele? Eu qcredito que isso já deve ter sido revisto, mas tb to meio assim com essa história, se tiver Twitter me adiciona lá @lucasulliam aí trocamos uma idéia.

Você vai quando pra lá? Ta pretendendo comprar em que loja? Eu to achando que vou ter que comprar antes de ir porque me disseram que essas guitarras não tem a disposição em todas as lojas lá.

Abraço

i"m in the exactly same situation.

rjv100,

Read the post above yours.  After you have opened a support ticket, Line 6 will notify you when the parts are available and when your guitar can be sent back in.

I got my JTV-59 on May 4, and the switching problem exhibited in about an hour of trying it out. After waiting with the guitar powered off of for 10 - 15 minutes, it would play fine for a few minutes, then mess up again. I called the Line 6 general phone number on the Contact Us link at the bottom of the pages here on the website during their business hours -- keeping in mind that they are on Pacific time, and I'm in Central time. I spoke with their customer support rep, and they issued me a returned material authorization (RMA) and UPS picked it up (after a few tries -- UPS's problem, not L6. Once they got it they changed the switch, but it still gave thefailure mode. They found a cold solder joint and fixed it. They're now checking for that problem in their QA checks. They shipped it back 1 week after they had it, I recieved it last Thursday, ran it through it's paces all evening on Thursday, and used it at my Friday night gig, and it works like a champ. It has the right cream colored tip on it, and the switch is the right size. They were very nice and efficient in the remedy of the problem as far as I'm concerned. It's too bad it had to happen, but it did, and they dealt with it. It took more time d1ck1n' around with UPS than for L6 to find and fix it. I'm extremely pleased with the fit & finish, the sustain, the model sounds, the mag pups, and the setup of my JTV-59 TSB. I ordered it on Oct 10, 2010, and waited 7 months. The pain & anxiety of the wait are definitely fading fast....

Keep the faith,

Dave

Hey ,my name is Barry and I just recieved my JTV 59 black (koreian made)serial #W10100350, today from sweetwater,I set up all my favorite sound and models from workbench all was well ,for about an hour then when i was in variax mode using acoustic bank it did the switching thing I 've read about here ,it doesnt do it every time but if this happens when using it live I'm screwed,I have read a few posts from others and not sure if this even matters but others have mentioned but my switch tip is the black one??? I, unlike others, did not wait forever to get it(sweet water just put 'em up last week so I got it in about three days) but am soo looking forward to using it I hate to have to send it back ,but if thats how it must be ,then so be it wondering how I go about it and rough idea of turn around on it?? any info would be helpfull thanks!!

To you and any guys in here with the new switch and new problem. So sorry. We reworked the switches and the switch is solid but there is flux on the switch from the soldering that when it gets a bit warm shorts the switch. We have already reworked the units we are sending out now.

You will need to contact our service dept and get it repaired. It is a pretty easy fix.

Question: Is it just not possible to fit a properly sized pickup selector switch  to the body? I'm curious why this oversight is acceptable when Line 6 has  said on the forums that they raised the prices specifically because they  were not willing to cut corners on quality. Huh?! The mismatched switch seems  like a cut corner to me. What do you guys think?

They are absolutely cutting corners and taking shortcuts.

Someone claimed that they contacted Line 6 and got them to send a correctly sized washer.  You could try that.

As I mentioned before, I have taken it on myself to do Line 6's QC for them for my own guitar.  The process is like this:

1. Order guitar last year.

2. Wait several months for guitar to be delivered.

3. Run QC check on guitar.

4. If guitar fails QC check, send it back to the retailer for an exchange. IMPORTANT: Do NOT send it back to Line 6, use your retailer's return option.

5. Go to step 2.

So far I've had to do this about 3 times.  I am hoping I finally get a brand new guitar that has everything right from Line 6, including correctly-matched switch.

Yup Charged the battery and it worked for a few minutes before it began changing between models at random or not switching at all. I'm going to need a ticket please.

try lifting the knob up the shaft a bit. It's probably bottoming out on the guitar.

Received JTV59 CSB in good condition, the switch works normal, so i had too update the firmware on the pod x3 live and i thought i had to update the firmware on the guitar, but the latest firmware was already on the guitar.could it be possible that my CBS is from the new shippment without switch issue? the serial no. W11081157. i hope that i don´t get the switch issue. the sound is o.k. the intonation is o.k. too, but the saddle is for my setup to high, so i´ve too change them and want to change the pickups to seymour duncan alinco pro APH II, (but the sound of the pickup is good), but i need a little more crispy bit.the finish is a little too red for my opinion but what shells (i´d like original the TSB but it´s not avaiable). Sorry for my english, i´m from austria. Palm muting is not as bad as i thought. negative on the guitar: it looks cheap and feeling is cheap, the countersinks is ugly.the neck is thicker than on my expensive gibson les paul slash signature.

greetings from austria

i suggest contacting line6 directly: http://line6.com/company/contact/

I would also open a support ticket to deal directly with Line 6. Under the Support tab at the top of this page, select Contact Technical Support. Then select the same thing again on the subsequent display.
