CONTROLS
DESCRIPTION
With the guitar held in the playing position, there are three mini toggle switches along the lower edge of the body. The switch closest to the knee cutout is the neck pickup selector switch. The center switch is the center pickup selector switch, and the switch closest to the end of the body is the bridge pickup on/off switch. There are also two knobs more towards the center of the guitar. The knob closest to the end of the body is the tone control, and the knob closest to the neck is the volume control. The tone control has a push/pull function which acts as a coil tap on the bridge pickup. The volume knob also features a push/pull function for activating the high pass filter. Both functions activate with their respective knobs pulled up.
