JT-2 Prototype #1
Series 2 marked our return to bolt-on necks, and the JT-2 was one of the first projects to receive the simplified treatment.
A mix of classic features went into this prototype, as well as a handful of surprises. The control layout and duo of single coils are reminiscent of one of America's most-loved workhorse guitars, while the body shape is similar to California surf guitars of the glorious past. But anyone can hybridize guitar designs, and we wanted this one to be markedly different than all others on the market. With that in mind, we gave the first JT-2 Prototype some special treatment to create an entirely unique playing feel.

The distressed finish on the JT-2 was modeled on the natural wear found on a mid 1970s Stratocaster. The body of the JT-2 was given a thin poly finish, and strategically distressed to mimic the blemished, cracked finish of the vintage Strat.
