PS NF P24?

Any guesses to what the second switch (beside the possible piezo/mag/blend) might do?

 

[sergiodeblanc]

One of us! Gobble Gobble, One of us!...

 

[justmund]

Narrowfields with coil splits? Normal stoptail with piezo? Hubba McHubba!

 

[prsrocker1988]

So has he full-time switched to PRS? If so, very cool.

 

[dsiew]

Has this been on there for a while now?

 

[justmund]

Yeah he's played a hollowbody for quite a few years, but it sounds like things have been shaken up as of late re. Fender

Whoa! And I thought I had lots of switches on my PRS.

NF's supposedly can't be.split.

NF's supposedly can't be.split.

They can be but need to come from PRS that way. There was an early proto floating around that had splittable NFs, but all of the production models don't have a tap wire.

It's probably possible to modify them to split (peel the tape off, find the wire that goes between the coils, and take a tap off that, wire it with a switch to ground)

Our buddy "Hopeless Sinner" had a Studio with split NF's at one time. I'd love to hear from other explorers who decide to cut the cable and hear what's up.

Great to see this, I'm a Mayer fan, love his playing and tone. But I hope it's another axe in the tool shed, I can't see John giving up his strats entirely (considering his vintage collection and "the Black One").

That's a lot of controls, but a great looking guitar.
I am a fan of the 3 pack of narrow fields.

Does anyone know for sure if that actually is a piezo equipped stop tail? Does not look like it has a separate output jack on Instagram pic. Maybe the two extra switches have phase/series/parallel or some kind of boost functions?

 

[themike]

It is not piezo equipped and NFs can be split.

 

[justmund]

It is not piezo equipped and NFs can be split.

So why for the extra rotary and 2 x mini-toggles? You know what they say about ass-umptions!

Call me crazy...but If I were spec'ing something like this...one toggle would add the bridge pickup in positions 1 and 2...then use the other and knob to control an onboard pre-amp/boost...like a Gilmour/Clapton Strat hybrid.
