Based on Fender's distinctive double-cutaway TC-90 Thinline guitar, the JA-90 puts Adkins' own personal spin on the classic model, resulting in a single-cutaway, semi-hollow ash-body instrument all its own. Features include a mahogany set neck with a 12"-radius rosewood fingerboard and 22 medium jumbo frets, Seymour Duncan^® Custom SP90-3 and Vintage SP90-1 "soapbar" pickups with volume and tone controls for each and three-way switching, a three-ply black/white/black pickguard and an Adjusto-Matic^TM bridge with stop tailpiece. It comes in Crimson Red and Ebony transparent finishes.

Luthier Stephen Marchione, noted for craftsmanship and innovation in guitars, violins and much more surprised the media with the introduction of his latest creation in the form of a new fretless bass.

Marchiones idea was to take a classic Jazz-style bass guitar and make a more ergonomic and friendly feeling fretless version that would sing melodic and harmonic lines effortlessly.

Specs include:

• Lightweight Swamp Ash body
• Sugar Maple neck
• African Ebony fingerboard
• Maple fretlines
• Custom Marchione pickups and electronics
• Custom Hipshot© tuners and bridge
