I say…..
Pretty much one of the most adaptable guitars I’ve seen.
3 miniswitches are 3 way giving up/middle/down = single coil/off/humbucker. The one lonely switch is a 2 way when it’s flipped back, it puts the Bridge pickup on “Full” in Humbucker mode…..
3 Humbuckers – yep the one in the middle is a “stacked” singlecoil sized Humbucker.
Beautiful neck, some very slight fretwear on the frets – but not worth recrowning yet.
A few pick-scrapes on the treble side of the guitar – but that comes with the territory…..
Otherwise in very good condition.
Comes with Tom Anderson orginial case, tags, keys and “fretsaver”
