THIS GUITAR HAS SOPHISTICATED TONE CONTROL FUNCTIONS; Which "require" charting them out for the easiest most complete understanding of the different volume and tone controls for different pickups switch positins.
The tone on this guitar is accentuated between pickups by the OFF switch positions putting a small amount of volume (elevated volume floor) on the pickups that are switched off; ....while the knobs that function as Tone rolloff (different knobs for different switch positions) do so by either rolling off the full volume range of a pickup OR only down to the elevated volume floor OR by rolling off the elevated volume floor; AND by at the same time regulating signal through the filter capacitor like conventional guitar tone knobs. The Master Volume knob always acts as a Volume control for all settings.
