When it comes to the time-tested single-coil tones that helped define rock 'n roll guitar, the most important guitar and pickup designs were created prior to the mid-1950s in two instruments: a two-pickup design and a three-pickup design. Until now, working guitarists would have to haul at least two guitars to a gig or session in order to capture all of these great '50s tones. But those days are now over. The Omniac JD captures the best of those tones in one two-pickup instrument. The secret is a unique electronics package that includes a proprietary five-way selector switch and two specially wired Seymour Duncan® pickups. What you get are five tones that embody the best of both classic '50s guitars in one instrument. Selector Switch Position FIVE: The neck pickup yields the rich, sparkling tone of the traditional three-pickup guitar. The result: that unmistakable single-coil sound that echoes the soaring, majestic blues tones of the '60s and '70s. Position FOUR: The neck pickup with a special cap engaged, affords this position a special tonal quality you would ordinarily expect to hear from a full-body jazz guitar! Also great for the classic "Woman Tone." Position THREE: The neck and bridge pickups are in a customized parallel wiring, producing an enhanced, more contemporary version of the customary middle position timbre on the classic two-pickup guitar. Position TWO: By combining both pickups with a capacitor and resistor in a controlled degree of reversed phase, this position offers the popular "in-between quack tone" found on three-pickup guitars. Position ONE: This is an updated stock-style bridge pickup with symmetrically staggered pole pieces for great string balance and a special wind for increased sustain. It captures that amazing gutsy lead sound found on the very best of those traditional two-pickup guitars!
