So what's with the wacky position of the Volume and Tone controls?
Or ... is it?
Jazz and fingerstyle players tend to stay positioned in a more focused space on their guitars as their fingers
weave through intricate chords and scales patterns (verses say Pete Townsend's windmill-power-chord Rock style!)
Integrating the Volume & Tone controls within this "vertical playing plane" enables adjustment of settings
with only the subtlest hand movement, requiring less time off the strings and a more seamless performance.
