JT-136 and JT-80

Electric Guitars

Jay Turser

Jay Turser has added two new instruments to their line of classic electric guitar and bass copies. The first is the model JT-136 ($449), a copy of the classic ES-175. The JT-136 measures in at 24 3/4 inches and features a 22-fret maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard, laminated bass wood veneer top, with a high-gloss tobacco sunburst finish. The JT-136 weighs in at only 6.3 pounds and comes standard with two humbucking pick-ups. Also new from Jay Terser is the JT-80, a highly detailed reproduction of the Rickenbacker 600 series three pick-up instrument. The JT-80’s ($439) alder body features a high-gloss black finish and comes with three passive pick-ups. Each instrument is backed by a limited life-time warranty.
