Two Voices in One With Custom TV Jones Pickups

At the heart of the Bobby Weir 3 are two custom TV Jones humbuckers designed in collaboration with Weir himself. The neck pickup delivers lush warmth and articulation for chord melodies and lead work. The bridge humbucker captures the searing clang Weir is famous for. But that's just the beginning—the push-pull tone controls let you split the humbuckers to single-coil mode for Fender-like spank and shimmer, greatly expanding your tonal versatility. Together, these pickups can conjure everything from slinky rhythm tones to soaring leads.

Unparalleled Playability and Intonation

Every aspect of the Bobby Weir 3's construction is optimized for flawless playability and intonation. The slim C-shape neck features a comfortably rounded profile that's easy to wrap your hand around. Jescar nickel silver fretwire provides precise intonation and buttery bending. The 16"-radius ebony fingerboard flattens out at higher positions for effortless chording and bending. A deep cutaway gives you unobstructed access to the upper registers, where you'll find endless sustain and harmonic overtones.

Semi-Hollow Design Captures That Signature "Clang"

As much as any individual component, the semi-hollowbody construction is key to the Bobby Weir 3's distinctive voice. The maple top, back and sides are carefully chambered for an airy resonance that lets every note bloom, while the central block focuses and projects the fundamental for exceptional articulation and punch. It's this perfect balance that Weir has spent decades chasing after—the "clang of cold steel" as he describes it. Whether you're playing jazzy chord melodies or scorching leads, the Bobby Weir 3 delivers that coveted tone.
