I need to gig it a lot more than I do. It has the funky original '50's wiring scheme, which takes some getting used to, but I actually like. Although many if not most think that that set-up won't allow for neck+bridge pickup selection, it's still do-able, you just have to put the pickup selector at the "in-between" "no-notch" setting midway between the neck and bridge detents. Which is what early Strat players did with their 3-position switches to get "quack."
