Fits under a raised pickguard

Schatten Thumbwheel Controls


Read 3 Reviews   |   Write a Review

Less than 3/16" thick, these hard-to-find controls are perfect for locating beneath a raised pickguard. The thumbwheels are mounted directly to a miniature low-profile circuit board that attaches easily with supplied foam tape. They're lightweight, so they won't physically alter the acoustics of the instrument.

Real Stealth

Already wrote a review just thought I'd add a photo. Without the paper under the pick guard you can't even see them! They work great. There's a real tone difference. Eight solders, 5 minutes and BOOYA! Stewmac Rules!

solid control, tiny package

This is the first set of controls that really stays out of the way on modern jazz guitars. You could probably use it in a custom flat top sound hole arrangement, as well. I wouldn't be surprised to find someone using it on a violin (under the chin rest?)or on a mandolin, either. The single control wiring diagram could be clearer, but the double wiring diagram is spot on. The tone control is fully functional and doesn't just attenuate the total sound. Worth the price since it ads to the total quality of a custom instrument.
