SWITCHING SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
When the tone knob is pulled up, the Susutainiac is on. When the tone knob is down, the Susutainiac is off. When the Sustainiac is off and the pickup selector switch is in neck position, the neck pickup is selected. When the switch is in center position, both the neck pickup and the bridge pickups are selected. When the switch is in bridge position, the bridge pickup is selected. When the Sustainiac is activated, whichever position the switch is in, the neck and bridge pickups are selected and the Sustainiac is affecting the sound of the neck pickup.

CONTROLS
DESCRIPTION
With the guitar held in the playing position, there are two switches along the lower edge of the body. The switch closest to the knee cutout is the three-way pickup selector switch, and the switch closest to the end of the body is the three way sustainicac switch. When the sustainiac switch is in neck position, the sustainiac is in normal mode, when the switch is in center position, the susutainiac is in mix mode, and when the switch is in bridge position, the sustainiac is in harmonic mode. There are two knobs towards the center of the guitar. The knob closest to the end of the body is the tone knob, and the knob closer to the neck is the volume knob. The tone knob also functions as a sustainiac on/off switch, while the volume knob also works as a high pass filter switch. They are both engaged by pulling up on the knob.
