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.
