The array of distinctive voicings in each position can be activated with the push\/pull switch. Go from a tight, crunchy hot rodded humbucker sound to a clean, twangy vintage single coil sound at will.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"br\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"br\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith such an array of tonal options open to you, you'll be able to bring a new dimension to your playing.
