Hot, but I can't figure out why a guitar with one pickup needs a pickup selector switch.

 

according to the website, it's a unique coil tap.  here's what another site has to say about it (seems intriguing):

"Speaking of tone, Duesenberg crafts all of their own pickups and the P-90 they've put in the Dragster is fantastic. Having the ability to be multi-tapped, this single pickup in conjunction with a 3 way switch can give you everything from jangley, single coil tones to super beefy tones Les Paul Jr oomph that you'll swear might pass for a humbucker."

I recently got the chance to noodle on a Duesenberg Fullerton Hollow, which is kind of like the ES-330 -- slim fully hollow, P90 pickups. The sound was very nice, kind of chimey and the tone control gave a really nice range of sounds, between the two pickups.

The price, though, was absurd. Aren't these made in Korea? This one had an asking price of nearly $3300, and really, what are you getting for all that money?
