From Beggars Banquet (1968). Beggars Banquet is the seventh studio album by the English rock band the Rolling Stones, released on 6 December 1968 by Decca Records in the United Kingdom and London Records in the United States. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for The Rolling Stones' other songs from Beggars Banquet, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Jigsaw Puzzle" Tone
What guitar did The Rolling Stones use on "Jigsaw Puzzle"?
The guitar on "Jigsaw Puzzle" (released 1968) isn't documented; the Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Jigsaw Puzzle" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 6, Bass 5, Mid 6.5, Treble 7, Presence 6, Volume 7. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.
Can I play "Jigsaw Puzzle" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Jigsaw Puzzle" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
