  • the five way was invented by fender for the strat

  • @hothead182

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

  • 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!

  • 1: Treble humbucker.

    2: Treble & Rhythm Humbucker in series (out of phase).

    3: Treble & Rhythm humbucker in parallel (Just like a Les Paul center position).

    4: Inside single coils in parallel.

    5: Rhythm humbucker.

  • 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.
