barebone99 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Hello everyone, I was just watching as many JTV69 videos as I could and I am sold and ready to order. The only thing is I did not find a model that looks like the one Sean is playing in this video (visible around 5:50). It looks like a black/darkblue body and a white pickguard with white pickup caps. Can anyone tell me if that is a custom model, color correction in the video or a switched pickguard maybe? Is there a way to order a white pickguard for a JTV as a spare part? Thanks, best regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Definitely looks like a navy blue to me. Sean's model is a beta/prototype, I believe, so it was probably a color that never made it into production. As far as the pickguard, you can get JTV-69 pickguards at Full Compass, but they only have black for the 69. They have white for the 69S, though.

radatats Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I am not aware of any other blue other than the Lake Placid Blue but that one does seem darker. Could be the lighting... However, Google search does turn up a few hits for a US JTV in Blue Pearl over Black. It is not on the Line 6 web site so perhaps it was a discontinued color? http://line6.com/jtv-69-us/ http://line6.com/jtv-69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barebone99 Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Thanks for your replies guys. It was confusing since in some videos Sean was clearly using the Lake Placid Blue Model. You mean this pickguard right? http://www.fullcompass.com/product/456850.html Too bad there is no parchment version, otherwise I’d probably go for a black JTV but with a white pickguard. Does anyone know if the single coil caps on the PUs are glued or could they be replaced? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psarkissian Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Yes, it is a Beta. No, it's mostly the lighting. It is slightly darker, but not by much, not as dark as it looks in the video. It's a standard Lake Placid Blue,... from an early run. Just got done servicing it a week ago, or so. It does play real nice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastersonics Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 If you check closely it's a USA model so that could be as well…! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psarkissian Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Just the neck is US. If I recall,... it was a Beta unit, and some stuff done to it by Tyler himself. So it's not totally factory, it has a minor alteration or two. I enjoyed working on it recently. Plays nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
