I'm a 61 year-old gigging pro. I am required to go from AC-DC to Brad Paisley to Sinatra on the fly in a wireless format. So I was excited by what this guitar offered.
I recently ordered my Jtv 69 thru my local Guitar Center because they had none in stock. They were kind enough to refund my money.
I rate it Zero. How can you rate guitars that don't work out of the box??
Jtv 69 #1 - Model selector switch worked intermittently and occasionally flickered on and off.
Unattractive knot in the sunburst looked like a flaw.
Provided allen wrench fit poorly in whammy bar nut.
Jtv 69 #2 - Guitar made loud digital noise when plugged in. Totally unusable.
5 minute dents in finish near near tone control.
Unattractive seam running thru sunburst with half a knot on one side and none on the other. A Squire offers better quality control.
After reading the volume and varity of problems this guitar apparently has, I can't imagine how any serious working musician could use such an unreliable, tempermental tool.
Since the sounds it offers seem to be the best available, I'm pissed at the poor quality.
