    T- ross you nailed it, The Bridge pickups is just a twaggy Seymour Duncan that can be brought into blues sound with the tone adjustment and combined with the middle Start stack out of phase in the 4 setting can produce an array of sounds, then in position 3 the middle by itself is all STRAT. FRom there position 2 combines the mid and neck mini humbucker for a great combination of classic rock to southern rock, then jumping to 1st position for that hot mini hum for a full mind blowing distortion or just a great clean humbucker .
    I will try to get some clips, I promise but the video above has very much the same sound as mine does. I've played for about 2 hours this morning, set the intonation in about 10 minutes. I allowed it to set in the stand all night and get some humidity back to it(this help with the fill of the frets) I'm told that when they ship these with the dry packs sometimes it causes neck shrinkage.
    It has about 4 frets that need smoothed a little. I'm trying to get used to the 9.5 radius as my other 2 electrics have 12".
    I can tell you that I am growing fond of this sweet "SASSY" , she will talk back to you. That Skunk stripe on the back of her neck has to mean something.
    I had first thought that I might want to change out the middle STRAT -stack but I really doubt that it will happen now. I am pleased with my purchase and
    would advise anyone to check this Vintage Modified or Vibe 50 Tele out , they are both well worth the price.

    Still lovin' my SH (M)VM... it's just so much fun to play. Had it set up recently and had some rough frets dressed and leveled. Slapped 9's back on (had been playing with 10s or a EB Hybrid Slinky set)... love the 9.5 rad neck

    Glad you like 'er. Looking forward to clips and pics, cause without them - it just don't exist

    I'd put a pull switch on one of the controls to give bridge + neck with that layout. I hardly use my tele now I've got that combo on my strat.

    Acoustic: Guitar > microphone > audience
