s-1 switching system

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.

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