NGD: It's more about the manual than the guitar. (Peavey T-30 content.)

[Artie]

Just snagged a MIA Peavey T-30 short-scale "Strat", a couple weeks ago. It has the "square-ish" pickups. Sounds good, plays good. I'm going to leave this one alone. (As in, un-modded.) It's one of these:



But here's the main point of my post . . . copied-&-pasted from the owners manual:



Nothing too weird here, other than the #2 and #4 positions are NOT out-of-phase. It's completely normal Strat wiring. Here's the "funny" part:



Really! Peavey patented the #2 & #4 notch positions on a 5-way switch. I wonder what the response was from the patent office.

Oh wait. They "allplied" for a patent. My mistake.

P.S. I love Peavey. Always will. I just thought this was funny.

:deal: I can just see a salesman somewhere long ago listing off specs :smack:

Note their careful choice of words: "out of phase tonality" but not "out of phase"

Happy new guitar day, man.

Thanks Breau. (Pun intended.) It is actually, a nice axe.

Congrats on the new guitar. Sounds like a keeper.

Old MIA Peavey's, done dirt cheap, are always keepers.
