Abstract

Disclosed herein is a new and unique type of circuit control for an electric guitar. Simply stated, it varies the resonant frequency of the pickup itself in addition to filtering out frequencies which are suppressed or rolled off. The mechanism by which this is brought about includes a potentiometer connected to a center tap of the coil assembly.
