Jimmy Eat World Rig Rundown Guitar Gear Tour
Article & photos: http://bit.ly/JimmyEatWorldRR
PG’s Perry Bean met up with Jim Adkins and Tom Linton from Jimmy Eat World before their Birmingham show at Iron City. The guitar duo describes the evolution of their gear from their simple guitar-into-tube-amp beginnings to embracing the 21st century on this tour.
Jim Adkins primarily plays his Fender signature telecasters. His No. 1 is this JA90 signature Tele, featuring a semi-hollow ash body with matching headstock, 9.5”-radius rosewood fretboard with 22 medium jumbo frets, and two Seymour Duncan SP90 pickups. He keeps this short-scale beauty strung with finger-straining .013 gauge strings.
Linton’s No. 1 is this all stock ’93 Gibson SG—a replacement for another ’93 he had back in the day that broke.

“If all of us are in stereo then none of us are in stereo”
Expression pedal? Is that what is called now? Great interview
wouldve loved to see bohlinger do this or even chris keis.. this fella..idk.
What is this song that’s playing in the beginning of this video V
jim adkins looks like Michael Scott
I want to know what kind of shoes Jim has! They didn’t cover that.
Jim is like a well preserved dinosaur from my youth
Best reason and explanation for going fractal ever. Also his pre fractal info was informative too
Would have been nice if Jim had allowed Tom to say something about the Axe . . .
Man plays 13’s in STANDARD TUNING?
They both refer to their guitars as "this guy"
→ … perhaps a reference to the famous Jimi Hendrix line,
"Excuse me, while I kiss the Sky"
that people started saying really was,
"Excuse me, while I kiss THIS GUY"
Huh? HUH…??
Am I right or am I right!?
Jimmy Eat World → Jimi Eat World
????'s = "This guy"
→..which we will now, dutifully refer to as "the Sky"
"Hey Honey, I am just gonna play "the Sky" for a while"
Or
"I came up with that riff, just noodling on my "the Sky".
Huh…? Riiight..??Someone….?? ???? ANYONE….???
Edit: Oh no… I just realised the big connection!
"The Sky" = the Silver Sky
????♂️ How could I nearly missed it!????♂️
So really, Jimmy Eat World are making some commentary on the connection between Jimi Hendrix…and John Mayer… ????
Synopsis : Jimmi Hendrix, John Mayer and Jimmy Eat World. …are all in the closet.

Somebody stop me, please! ????
I am sooo impressed with Axe FX – I am sooo abandoning my analogue pedals and making the switch…
They Gotsta be expensive, tho
.. and a total rabbit hole you'd get lost in. There is definitely something to be said for just plugging straight into the amp, and using the volume & tone knobs…
Telecasters are actually single cutaway guitars. Stratocasters are double cutaways
I scored a JA90 in a guitar trade, didn't know who he was so I got to you tubing. Couldnt be more proud to own his signature guitar he's such a solid dude, and the guitar really speaks for itself I collect and only play at home but it absolutely gets its fair share of me time.
13:40 When I saw Pierce the Veil in Boston on Saturday, they did the dummy cabs. Hollowed out white mesa boogie 412 cabs, about six of them on either side, and ive never seen these but 2 white mesag 812 cab. They used them for lighting fx.
No hate for Jimmy Adkins, but I will gladly and excitedly riverdance on my pedal board til I die. I do get what he's saying. But still, I need a tuner, compressor, volume pedal, reverb, OD, digital delay, and a looper (not needed for shows, but still super important when trying to write two parts.
13 gauge strings eh? That's pretty gnarly…but if you do this at home, you can end up bowing your neck from the tension. So I would recommend slapping them on and bringing it to a shop to get set up- or you can watch youtube videos that break down how to do a proper set up, it's not that tricky, but can be time consuming. What I used to do what use .12's but I would use .48 for low E, .38 for A (or .48 again), swap the G for a D string- it fixed the issue I had with the dreaded slipping G string. Then I used two B strings for the B and high E. So the gauges were like- .48/.38/.28/.28/.18/.18 I use a tweaked midwest emo tuning to DAEAC#C#..gives it a solid 12 string vibe.
Good on them for using the tech available instead of following the usual hearing-loss inducing method.
The only minus of the JA Telecaster is the Gibson neck scale, I've bought one and I love the sound, but once I got it I've been very disappointed about the scale, I like more the feeling of the lower strings on the Fender scale, especially when using drop tunings. Of course you need to use bigger strings because they're too loose!
I can't imagine playing without any cabinet to react with my guitar. That is so important to me, the amp is an instrument in its self. Theres nothing worse than seeing a great band but the sound is terrible because they think a rock band needs the subs blasting. Best show I've seen (sound wise) was Don Caballero in a small room with no PA at all (wouldn't be possible with a singer). I mean acoustic drums are really loud without being mic'd.
This rundown has reminded me why I’ll never use a digital setup ???? Great guitars though. ????????
This video’s comments seem to be about one of 3 things:
1. Jim’s Sig
2. The real amp crowd and modeling amp crowd going to war
3. Just regular comments thinking the gear is cool.
Where I stand in all 3:
1. Cool guitar. Definitely kind of an unorthodox idea, combing a Tele and Les Paul, and then putting P90s in it. Also, Jim is hard core using 13s.
2. These comments make me mad. Personally. I lean more towards the real amps than the modeling stuff, but to each their own.
3. Another awesome rig rundown.
Also, Perry needs to shut up and lets these gentlemen talk about their toys Jesus Christ.
He is like a cooler version of Michael Scott :)))
after watching the Phoenix sessions, I want more info on the bass rig rundown!
