The J & D TL Natural Lefthand electric guitar is aimed particularly at beginners but is also ideal as a second guitar for advanced guitarists, and its authentic outfit is not the only thing that makes it stand out. The easy handling and robust construction of this classic promise long-lasting playing pleasure and authentic feeling. Uncompromising details such as a solid alder body and the maple neck, as well as the simple but functional hardware stand for honest sound results, not least thanks to two ceramic single-coil pickups in the neck and bridge position.
The 3-saddle T-style bridge in traditional strings-thru-body construction ensures resonance-friendly vibration behaviour, which is transmitted via two characteristic single-coil pickups. Furthermore, the J & D TL offers a classic electronic design in the form of a master volume and master tone control including a 3-way blade switch for pickup selection. Of course, the familiar pickup position with a baseplate surrounding the bridge pickup is not missing either.
The fretboard and neck of the J & D TL Lefthand Natural are made of maple and feature easy-to-reach 22 medium frets, string trees for d- & g- and b- and e-string, and convenient access to the truss rod on the side of the headstock. At the back, the neck features traditional C-shaping from headstock to neck heel with the ideal amount of wood for comfortable fingering and controlled bending. Last but not least, the J & D TL in Natural finish presents the interesting grain of the alder appropriately and offers a visually harmonious complement to the clear lacquered maple neck.
If you prefer to play electric guitar instead of constantly having to retune, you can rely on the solid die-cast tuners of the TL Natural. These indestructible tuners are self-lubricating and have a closed die-cast housing, which means that dust and dirt do not impair the function of the tuning machines.
Not exactly am i a novice but as a semi-pro how happy i am with the purchase of this "cheap" guitar! excellent sound, excellent handling. Needed quiet a bit of fine-tuning and had to slightly sandpaper the edges of the neck cause the frets stuck out, but now i have a fine guitar...i fully recommend it.
A very nice guitar for beginners. I had to do some refretting work, but the finish is perfect tuners and bridge do their job and overall playability is good. Bridge pickup sounds awesomely well. A very good price / performance ratio.
