7-Way Switching:
The Pickguard is equipped with a Mini Toggle Switch. When flipped to the "ON" Position it activates the Neck Pickup. When the 5-Way Switch is in the Bridge Position the Neck and Bridge Pickups are Active. In the Middle/Bridge Position, All Pickups are Active. This is sometimes called the Gilmour Mod. Named after David Gilmour of Pink Floyd Fame.
Split Tone Mod:
The Neck and Middle Pickups share a Tone Pot, while the Bridge Pickup has a Tone Pot of its own. When the 5-Way Switch is in the Middle/Bridge Position, both Tone Pots are Active allowing you to blend the tone of the two Pots. And, because this has 7-Way Switching, there are even more blending options. A very nice option indeed!
Treble Bleed:
A Treble Bleed allows the highs to pass through the Volume pot as you roll off the Volume. What this does is keep the Brightness and the Clarity of the pickups the same as you roll down the volume. You have the same clarity and brightness at 10 as you would at 9,8,7,6 and so on. This is a super nice!
Golden Age Lipstick Alnico 5 Single Coils:
Get that clean, chiming Lipstick tone first heard in the '50s.
Vintage vibe
Golden Age Lipstick pickups feature waxed poly-coated coil wire wound on Alnico 5 bar magnets, encased in iconic chrome-plated metal tubes. This fully shielded design produces the clean, classic jangly sound. Excellent clean or dirty. Fantastic choice for slide. Can’t say enough about these. For the money they just can’t be beat. These are premium all the way!!
