Charles in FL.


1 – Pickup selector. Full size, three way toggle which is set up as most guitars: neck pickup only, neck + bridge pickups, bridge pickup only.
2 – Bridge pickup switch. Mini toggle, three position. Position one (up toward the player) is a single coil of the bridge pickup, position two is both coils in parallel and position three is both coils in series (as most humbuckers are normally wired). Series gives the most output, and a somewhat fuller sound than the parallel setting.
3 – Preamp switch. Mini toggle, two position. Up toward the player is the off position. The preamp is quite loud, and powered by a 9 volt battery (inset into the back of the guitar).
4 – Master volume.
5 – Master tone.
6 – Preamp volume. This pot does nothing as long as switch 3 is in the off position. This pot allows the preamp to be set from unity gain to about a 12-18 db boost. Unity gain is very useful for driving long cables without signal loss, while the boost is nice for driving a guitar amp into overdrive for solos, etc.
7 – Schaller Bridge. A very heavy two-piece bridge assembly, mounted on two Les Paul style posts set deeply into the body. Very good sustain from this unit, easy to intonate.
8 – DiMarzio humbucking pickup. Single coil/parallel/series is controlled by switch 2. This pickup has a fairly bright sound, with quite a bit of drive.
9 – DiMarzio PAF style humbucking pickup. Warm and very vintage sounding.
