11s on my JTV 89, slight intonation adjustments needed ..otherwise its fine.

Yep, just used them/ $7 USD for one knob. Not bad.

I 89. No issues, though I don't mess with alt tunings, just those found on the dial.

I have the JTV 89. So, I'm looking for pups suited to hi-gain metal ... probably Seymour Duncan Black Winters when they come to the USA. http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/electric/humbucker/high-output/black_winter/

This may be answered elsewhere but does anyone have any experience with switching out the magnetic pickups on their JTV? Or, is the design so integrated that going with after-market pickups totally impractical?'

Personally, I like the modeling for the hi-gain stuff. The magnetic James Tyler pickups .. better suited to clean and crunch in my opinion.

I had a JTV 89 and play heavy metal and constantly palm mute with high gain. I have experienced no problems, though I have no experience with the old version.

I can understand the body and neck decisions but the boring dots on the fret board are a bit of a disappointment. Oh well .. I'l just go after market for somethng more interesting.

Any tips on where to buy that custom inlay .. my only complaint about the my JTV is the hideous dots on the finger board.

The level of whining on this forum is unbelievable. I wonder if people are actually involved in making music because I don't see much getting posted.

Somehow I got this all correct, before even reading this. Correct me if I am wrong but I think it is a requirement that the guitar is in magnetic pickup mode, i.e. not turned on into variax mode.

JTV 89 Korean. It'll get a 5 .. I use the mags as much as the variax and I've only just started to dink around in the workshop.

Yeah, as a newb, that's the one area where I am totally lost. Where are user's custom creations? Or LIne 6 developed creations?

This is awesome and I love it that it is en espanol!

I like the nylon for the 89. There's some black metal bands that dip a little bit into that for a sorta classical feel. The dobro and banjo are useless to me. The PRS would be aesome. I had some some PRS stuff for variax but I don't know where the hell I found them or where they are now (I'm a variax newb so I'm still sorta lost)

Where are people posting their concoctions as far as custom presets ? Is there something going on somewhere else. I just made a strat on steroids. Previously I downloaded a gibby SG and some PRSs .. now I can't remember where the heack that was happening.

Sold! I'm buying one .. goodbye trusty old Spider Valve MK1.

Yeah I was on firmware 1.8 or something . I just got my JTV 89 and wasn't even aware that an update was available ... then this came out .. wow, mind=blown!

Yep, I'm thinking of doing this,too. I use 1/2 step down as my standard and I'll bump up to medium strings. I know at a 25" scale in eflat with 11s I should be where I want to be. Not sure how I'll need to fiddle with the alt-tunings but ... I'm sure I can figure it out. I love my other guitars .. but this JTV 89 is stealing my heart.

Yep, it comes accross to me like putting on a fresh set of strings. Mind=blown!

I assume the blending of mag and piezo is all in standard tuning mode.

Does the battery need to be near 100% charged for all this to work? The software says something about an xps power supply but I guess those are no longer sold. -tsc

Who do I call to see about getting the free knob? Regular Line 6 customer service.

Mine is being delivered tomorrow .. the last of the batch.
