For those of you who know the Strat and Tele. this will look and feel like familiar territory – an old friend. Where things change up are the electronics. Here we have the classic 3 single coil pick-ups with a 5 way switch, Master Volume and Tone and then the fun begins….with an On/Off switch for the Middle Pick UpThe 5 way is set up to give the following selection (switch – off and 1 being towards the neck)- Neck
- Neck and Bridge (Parallel)
- Bridge
- Bridge with a shelf filter (think cocked wah)
- Neck and Bridge (Series – Humbucker)
This is where it gets interesting using the on off switch to bring in the Middle Pick Up. Switch it on and you get:
- Neck + Middle
- Neck, Middle + Bridge (Parallel)
- Bridge + Middle (Knopfler territory)
- Bridge with a shelf filter (think cocked wah) + Middle (thickens it up and adds articulation)
- Neck and Bridge (Series – Humbucker) + Middle
The build specs are:Body – Mahogany
Neck – Maple with Rosewood Fingerboard, bone nut and Gotoh Tuners
Finish – Aged Surf Green Nitro Old Friend Finish
With hardcase.
