    Hi all,

    This is my SG-1. I have done something special to her. 8-)

    Can you spot the difference with the controls and can you tell me what I have done?

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    I can see a mini toggle in there instead of one of the tone pots. Coil splitter? Does that mean you've made a master tone control?

    I may be off track here but I'm pretty sure the evil genius has slotted a Push Pull pot between the two switches.....and the switch may have something to do with coil splitting / coil tapping or shifting in and out of phase?

    Close, very close. The switch is for a coil tap, but still the question is what did I replace the pot with?

    Pickup on/off switch? I know when I'm playing HH guitars its usually 100% bridge pickup or both run 100%, so an on/off switch for the neck pickup would make sense for me.... but this isn't my guitar!

    Or it could be an active tone circuit?

    It has more to do with the pup volume....

    Ok, time to put people out f their misery.......

    The evil mind that is DB has used a Coil tap and sneakily replaced one of the volume pots with a blend pot!
