ELECTRONICS: Loaded with dual Lace "Hemi" humbuckers, each wired through a dedicated
3-way mini switch for series/split/parallel modes. The 4-way PUP selector allows
standard 2 pickup switching + both pickups in series; grounded conducting paint
in all control cavities for noise mitigation.
I love these Hemi pickups. When split, they are a great balance of high
output and ringing, well articulated mids. Lace winds them such that each half of
the pickup has full single coil output. In the series mode, they fatten up very
nicely, not muddy, yet with high output. This setup allows 24 different switching
options, and is a tonal range monster.
