Brentrocks Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 I needed this like a hole in the head....total impulse buy
diablo175 Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Purdy! 24 frets, too! Ahh, if could only have gotten along with my SS1 debacle...
The Shark Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Replete with the natural relic job. Great score, Brent. If it has to go someday, I'm around.
zzzdat Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 SS1's are great stage guitars. I have owned 4 and still own 3. There like a classic design but with a shred mentallity if needed, Many sounds can be had from them, and they are very comfy to play.My favorite are the plain 22 fret version.Cool BeansGene
Brentrocks Posted January 10, 2014 Author Posted January 10, 2014 what does the other toggle do? coil tap?
velorush Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 what does the other toggle do? coil tap? Here's a good explanation (you might scroll up and / or down for context, too). ETA: from what I can tell, it's the same switching arrangement as the 1st gen Phantom, you just don't have the middle single coil in a bezel with the humbucker. So the three-way is: 1. Neck 2. Neck + [Choice of the two-way] 3. [Choice of the two-way] The two-way is: 1. Middle Single Coil 2. Bridge Humbucker My experience with the Phantom was that it took a little while, but became kind of intuitive after a while. Others might find it to be superior to a five-way, but being an old Strat guy, it seemed a little complicated. Maybe I just didn't keep the Phantom long enough for it to grow on me. ETAA: if you don't like that arrangement, the control cavity is your oyster. With holes for two switches, you've got some pretty substantial possibilities for wiring it as you like.
devrock Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Another one popped up on the bay today with the OBLs. Not bad....
