Borrowed this one from friend of mine, very good guitar, but I hate that rotary pickup selector. No idea which pickup I'm at, If you here most likely you know bit of the history about this guitar.



it's a Limited Edition model, produced between 1989 and 1991, 300 were made. With a one piece mahogany set neck, Brazilian rosewood fretboard, Abalone bird inlays,24 frets, hand sighned signature on the headstock, gold plated tuners. A semi hollow body with figured Cedar top, Vintage treble and bass humbucker pickups and a 5 way rotary knob. With a gold plated stop tail bridge and tailpiece.
 
Nice vid.

RE: 5-way
Get to know the rotary, once you go thru 1-5 (especially in a jam setting) you'll find it fairly simple. I don't know all the PU configurations but I believe 1 is bridge only, 5 is neck only, and 2,3,4 are combinations.

I didn't think of PU positions though, in my warped way of thinking for me it was:
1-Rock
2,3,4 -everything in between, from Blues, R&B, Country, to Alt, etc.
5 -Jazz, R&B

Become one with the rotary, it's part of our heritage.;)

I don't have one of these guitars but I used to really dislike the rotary switching.

I don't mind it so much anymore. I've got three guitars with rotary switching with one of those being an old 97 ce22 beater. I have played it out a lot because it sounds good so that kind of got me over the rotary hate.
