This Jazzmaster design features a completely re-imagined control layout, built around what Leo famously called the Passive Treble, Bass system -- a circuit architecture he loved. This system, which can be found in countless versions of his guitars and adopted by various boutique brands, essentially offers two distinct tone controls:

Standard Tone Control: Functions classically, rolling off treble (highs).

Bass Contour: Rolls off the bass frequencies.

The true versatility and uniqueness of this system come from combining these two controls to create a wide palette of tones.

True to form, Gunstreet didn't just copy the idea. Gunstreet took the core principles of Leo's design and tweaked them extensively to make this circuit its own. Find out what changed below

Features:

- Independent Volume Controls
- Each pickup now has its own volume control: (1) Bridge Volume and (2) Neck Volume. The volume circuit has been redesigned for independent control, meaning that in the middle switch position, rolling off one volume will not cut the entire signal, unlike a traditional setup.
- Standard 3-Way Selector
- Position 1: Bridge pickup only
- Position 2: Neck and Bridge pickups
- Position 3: Neck pickup only
- Phase Switch
- This switch, which previously engaged a rhythm circuit, now functions as a phase switch. When both pickups are active (Switch Position 2), engaging this switch puts the pickups out of phase with each other.
- Modified Tone Circuit
- This control moves away from… read more the traditional design, instead adopting a different circuit architecture used by Leo in the early days. This "Tone circuit" offers a unique sound profile compared to a traditional tone control, and it is highly favored by many players.
- Low End Bass Roll-off
- Functioning similarly to a standard tone control, but in reverse, reducing the setting on this knob gradually removes some of the low end bass frequencies.
