A Collection Designed for the J-Master Aesthetic
The Pickguard Collection J-Master includes the essential elements to give your guitar an instantly recognizable sonic and visual identity. With its black finish, this pickguard naturally fits a typical J-Master setup and highlights a clean, coherent, and ready-to-play assembly-ideal for modernizing an instrument while respecting its DNA.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This set is aimed at musicians seeking dynamic response, rich harmonic content, and convincing balance in both clean tones and light crunch. It is particularly suitable for guitarists oriented towards indie, pop, rock, modern surf, or alternative music, as well as anyone wanting to recapture a "vintage" tone with the comfort of an active system and simplified installation.
Pickup Design: Wide Stacked Coils and Active Preamp
The JMaster pickups are designed around Alnico 5 magnets and wide stacked coils, an architecture targeting a rich and balanced single-coil tone, with precise attack and good chord definition. They incorporate a preamp that delivers vintage-like feel while offering the advantages of active electronics, notably consistent response and excellent coherence from one setting to another. The set comes with an EMG solderless kit including a master volume and a master tone, for quick installation on an existing guitar without requiring modifications.
