G&L S-500 American made

I had to do some searching for a description.

Here's how the expander switch works:

 

Basically it just ties both the bridge and neck pickup together, meaning that whenever the neck or bridge pickup is selected, you also get the other. After it's all said and done there's a total of seven different combinations. So in regular (or non-expanded mode) you have these combinations:

 

Position 1 - Bridge

Position 2 - Bridge & Middle

Position 3 - Middle

Position 4 - Middle & Neck

Position 5 - Neck

In expanded mode you get:

 

Position 1 - Bridge & Neck (same as position 5)

Position 2 - Bridge & Middle & Neck (same as position 4)

Position 3 - Middle

Position 4 - Neck & Middle & Bridge (same as position 2)

Position 5 - Neck & Bridge(same as position 1)

 

Confused? Me too. My explanation - it changes the sound - I'm a simpleton, though.

Bump for a killer made in the USA guitar bargain. IMO these beat regular Strats in every way...the fit and finish are custom shop quality, the pickups have more output and adjustability, separate bass and treble controls, tons more low end (in fact you have to turn the bass control all the way down in order to make it sound like a regular Strat), plus the mini-toggle to turn on the bridge and neck or all three pickpus at once-very cool usable sounds.

 

Beautiful axe, plays nice, in excellent condition with hsc.

Bump for a crazy axe. I have one myself, these blow most strats out of the water. I would certainly compare them to andersons and suhrs. Think of the mini switch as a strat/les paul switch. You can get closer to a humbucker than any other s/s/s setup. If I had the cash I'd buy this in a heart beat to match my S500.

Thanks for the free bumpage.

 

Up to look at anything. Something different (for me) might be cool - semi-hollow (es-175 or such), or Godin or something MIDI equipped - got or had most of the cool solid-bodies - but you never know. Never hurts to ask.
