Re: s-1 switching system
allows you to put series wiring in the circut. Instead of having the neck and middle, or middle and bridge pickups together in parallel, you can also have them in series, which makes them sounds like a standard full sized humbucker.This is the very perfection of a man, to find out his own imperfections. - St. Augustine of Hippo -

My 82 'the strat' has a 2 position switch (stock) that does this...allows for all 3 pickups in series too...very fun!Administrator of the SDUGFComment

Re: s-1 switching system
is there an anomaly with the S-1 switching system? i tried the 50th Ann Deluxe Strat a couple of days back, the S-1 switch, upon activation, made the guitar as loud as another Fender strat without the S-1 system- how true is this?Psychic HornsComment

Re: s-1 switching system
i really didn't go for s1 on my strat. The only real cool part was that i could do all 3 pickups at once. I ripped out that pickguard and threw a set of surfers in, couldn't be happier!2004 50th Anniversary Deluxe American Strat, SETH-N BRIDGE, ANT 2 SURFER MIDDLE, ANT 2 DLX MINI HUM NECK

Re: s-1 switching system
As foar as the S-1 switch anomily goes, the other guitar could've had the switch on too, or your guitar could've had the volume rolled down a little bit. The S-1 switch is more for versitility than anything else. Say if you need to go from Hendrix to STP in a flash, this is good for you, but if you never do anything but humbucker or single coil stuff, then you might wanna look elsewhere.This is the very perfection of a man, to find out his own imperfections. - St. Augustine of HippoComment

Re: s-1 switching system
It reacts differently with singles and humbuckers as well. It does splits and weird combos on the double fat strats. It's much too confusing for me. I'll post the combos when I get home, I have them in a recent Guitar Player.Ain't nothin' but a G thang, baby.Comment

Re: s-1 switching system
Best thing to do is to look it up on gearheads site ... Yes the S/S/H and S/S/S models have two different switching systems ... there are downloadable pdfs that show the switching logic...
