JANSEN – JAZZMAN
$1,100.00 – $1,200.00
Retro styling & classic tones
This is one of the new reissue Jansen guitars and it’s a killer! It’s a very close recreation of a mid-60’s Jansen Jazzman. Jansen made heaps of guitars and amps during the 60’s guitar boom in New Zealand. The Original vintage models of these are very hard to find and are fast going up in price.
These reissues have captured the vibe and are constructed well with very playable necks and great-sounding pickups! Attention to detail is excellent. The Alan Entwhistle pickups sound amazing and have tons of tone to boot!

More about the ATN 5 (5-way varitone)
The three mini switches are the individual pickup switches, the 5-way rotary is the ATN 5 (varitone) and the slide switch next to it is a Bass cut, (gives that thin Surf sound)
1) This is the fully clockwise position, and it is a bypass.. in other words, nothing goes through the ATN 5’s system.
2) This position passes more midrange information from the pickups and is slightly nasal in character.
3) This position has a more acoustic response and on this position. If you back the volume off a little and give your amp plenty of trebles, cut back the middle, and bass at 2 o’clock then you should get an almost acoustic-electric sound.
4) This position is similar to position 3 just a slight difference in tonality.
5) This position tends to render a thinner sound, it is still a little acoustic, but if you take the volume back a little, you can end up with that kind of bright surf guitar sound.structure.
