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.
