Thanks Tony, I have been experimenting with the two switces. One is a standard three-way switch which does the standard thing. (Bridge only, Neck & Bridge together, Neck only). The other two way switch turns the humbuckers into single coils. I especially like the sound of the 2 PU's together in single mode which produces a sort of has a rich, thick strat sound. The Humbuckers only sound fat but not as thick as an Artist does. Anyway the possibilities are endless so it seems. I'm bringing this baby to my band rehearsal so I get a chance to see how it sounds through a Marshall half stack. |

I found myself a case for this beauty. Although it's not an OHSC the guitar fits like a glove! I'm very happy. |
