A great guitar for jazz, blues or anything in between. The DS-5 guitars now have a set of 011 Elixir roundwound strings, unwound G string. Perfect for low, easy action and blue note bending !
Of course they can handle 012 or 013 jazz sets as well.

 


3 Charlie Christian pickups made by Jason Lollar

 

 


1 volume for each pickup, master volume and master tone
Toggle positions: up is neck pickup only
middle is all three pickups
down is middle and bridge pickup

With this setup, any combination of pickups is possible with the least switches and pots; easy to get used to in just a few minutes of playing
