PG's Joe Coffey is On Location in Nashville, TN, for Summer NAMM '09 where he visits the TV Jones booth. In this segment we get to TV Jones' newest guitar, the Model 10. The single-cut body style comes in three different pickup/tremolo variations - dual pickup (custom wound bridge/classic neck), single bridge pickup and dual pickups with a Bigsby B5 Vibrato. The guitar features an obeche neck with an ebony fretboard, 22 frets and Sperzel tuners.

The new pickup offered by TV Jones is their take on a P-90--bridge and neck versions. The bridge pickup has thicker highs and more defined lows than what is commonly heard from traditional P-90s. The sound is big with plenty of dynamics. The neck pickup delivers clarity with fullness and is considerably less boomy than others.

The P-90's sound great,especially the bridge.The guitars however I personally find overpriced for a plain jane looking finish that resembles something one would find on a lower end Ibanez.The visual representation may not be best over the internet,however the body shape left me flat.Basically a slab body found on a lower end Les Paul.Knowing that T.V. Jones makes extremely good pickups may transfer over into a great playing guitar,but I don't find it visually attractive.Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.P.S. JS Moore at Tone for days also makes a killer P-90,as well as other models

Both guitar and pickup look cool. I wish the sound was captured with a better mic, but hey NAMM is noisy.
