Hello,

I have now my 3rd JTV-69 (W1203XXXX serial) new from line 6 Europe as a replacement, but the guitar still has problems:

• Model knob doesn't work reliable
• String falls off the fretboard (high E-string slippage)

It looks like that it wasn't sanded too much. But nut seems to be too far at the bottom end.

The web is full of problems with high E-string slippage:https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&biw=&bih=&q=jtv+69+high+e+slippage&btnG=Google+Search&gbv=2

Does someone have a JTV-69 guitar without the high E-slippage (which serials) or is this caused by the very small nut and high string spacing by design ?

Is there any chance that I get a neck without the high E-slippage or should I go for a replacement neck ?

I play guitar for ~25 year so playing style can't be a problem. I own 7 guitars, non of them has such problems.

I feel like a QA (quality assurance) person at line6.

Pics attached.

For references all JTV-69 problems so far below:

Thank you

Wiesl

1st guitar (serial W1112XXXX), replaced by thomann:

• Model knob doesn't work reliable

2nd guitar (serial W1112XXXX) replaced by line6:

• unplayable neck relief (buzzing), no default up bow, truss rod adjustments didn't help
• Non accurate tremolo
• Also have an issue with the locking tuners: On the A-string the locking tuner screw can not be screwed in for a good fit.
• Also saddle was not filed correctly and has a little cut.
