Just FYI - the Fender is a totally different animal -- The early PRS 5-way rotary uses mutiple wafers - tons more wiring possibilities.

Really enjoyed the vid, I have nearly the identical guitar (minus the iron cross), S/N is mid-1100's. I have the sheet that came with the guitar that explains what sound each of the each of the settings gets you, I especially love the description of the Sweet Switch - "Adds sweetness to the tone of all positions". Could have guessed that!

Now off to watch more of your vids!

This is great! Please make this same video with your standards - thanks

The cocked wah sound is both humbuckers on, which gives you an out of phase sound because one of the magnets on the humbucker is reversed.

I finally get to hear Frankie play something from the harem. Loved that "cocked wah" sound, neither of my modern ones get that. Can I assume that one has the old T&B pickups?

@plindsey3 ::Definitely the original T & B's. This guitar is a very early '86 (SN in the mid 500's). Glad you liked it!
