Independent shopping perspective
JMaster System TS brings together JMaster pickups, a 4-ply tortoise-shell pickguard, and parchment knobs in an ivory version. The Retro Active pickup design uses Alnico 5 rods and wide stacked coils; EMG describes the active pickups as hum-free. Master EQ controls are placed on the instrument’s upper horn, keeping the system’s EQ controls in that location. It is a pickguard-based pickup system, not a loose pickup set.
