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.

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 five 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 first 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.
