swing_girl Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Great upgrades. Although I miss the goldtop and the semi hollow telecaster, the quality of the other models are so much higher, especially the acoustics. I can use low A baritone tuning without problems, thank you!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vjclaus Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 interesting what you say "especially the acoustics" they don´t have changed. it´s funny what people hear new on the same existing model with no change :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Well, the acoustics have changed over time. Perhaps swing-girl was updating from an earlier firmware version. But even so, you're right. Different people hear different things, some of which may be related to other equipment or venue changes - and some of which may just be changes in perception. (What IS reality?? :P ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tscoolberth Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swing_girl Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 Oh I thought the acoustics got the HD upgrade. Silly me :-) I upgraded from firmware 1.7. I use the low A baritone + Nashville hybrid tuning for the acoustic guitar, before the update, I felt that the low notes were flappy (cannot think of another word) and the high strings were too brittle. I had to use the jazz box body with a single coil pickup to make it work. With the new update (which I thought the acoustics got some upgrades), I can use the jumbo with the said tuning and it seems to sound better to my ears. Also, the 12 strings sound better to me too :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonefiddler Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I just ordered a new JTV-59 tobacco sunburst the other day and have already received it. Formerly, I only sat back and lusted over one of these guitars because funds just didn't permit purchasing one. You know, typical married with children scenario. As it turned out, my Mother-In-Law came into a bit of cash and decided to buy me one. I am sooooooo thankful to her. I tried talking her out of it because of the expense but she insisted. Anyway, I received the guitar right after the new updates were released. Sweetwater went ahead and updated all the guitars they have in stock, checked my guitar over thoroughly, set it up (fantastic job, might I add...plays like butter). I cannot begin to tell you how much I love this guitar. I cannot wait for the guys in my band to hear it sing. They were used to hearing my original Variax 500 and I know they will like the new edition to their band. As far as the models changing, what models are in the presets now? Is there a picture chart for the new edition like the old original variax color chart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
