Inspired by* the Coral Sitar®

The Coral Sitar® offered guitarists the ability to get the buzz and drone of a

sitar without having to learn a new instrument. On this model, the tone control

changes the level of the drone strings.

Based on* 1999 Jerry Jones Shorthorn®

In the 60’s Danelectro managed to make great sounding guitars from

Masonite and lipstick tubes. In the 90’s Jerry Jones continued that tradition

with the same materials as their 60’s counterparts. Our model is with the

bridge and neck pickups active.

Inspired by* the Gibson® Mastertone Banjo

The Mastertone series was introduced in 1925 and quickly became the

denitive Bluegrass banjo.

Based on* 1928 National® Tricone.

The Tricone uses three 6-inch cones mechanically coupled to the bridge to

amplify string vibrations. The Tricone has a smoother sound than later, single-

cone resonators.

Build A Custom Guitar

To really take advantage of the range and versatility of Variax mode, especially

when performing, you’ll want immediate access to your essential sounds. To

get your ten favorite tones ready for instant recall, use the two custom banks

on the Guitar Model Selector knob.

You’ve got CUSTOM 1 at the beginning of the Model Select rotation, and

CUSTOM 2 at the end. Each of these can store a different set of ve of your

favorite guitar models as well as tone and alternate tunings (with Alternate

Tuning Knob set to MODEL). You could, for instance, put acoustic sounds

in CUSTOM 1 and electric sounds in CUSTOM 2.

Let’s say you found a sound that you know you’ll be coming back to again

and again. Here’s what you do to store it in one of the custom banks:

1. Be sure your sound is exactly as you want it. This is going to store the

guitar model and tone knob settings.

2. Press and hold the Guitar Model Selector knob for 2.5 seconds or

until the LED begins to blink to enter customization mode.

3. Now turn the Guitar Model Selector to CUSTOM 1 or CUSTOM

2. It’s your choice. The Alternate Tuning LED is no longer lit.

4. Move the Pickup Selector Switch to the desired position where you

want to store it. JTV-59 Users: Push the Alternate Tuning Knob

then move the Pickup Selector Switch to access positions 2 or 4.

5. To save an alternate tuning to this position, select the desired tuning

on your Alternate Tuning Knob. Skip this step if you do not want an

alternate tuning.

6. Press and hold the Guitar Model Selector knob for 2.5 seconds.

Presto! You just saved your rst guitar model to a custom bank! Don’t

forget to set your Alternate Tuning Knob to MODEL if you want to

recall the tunings exactly the way you’ve saved them.
