So I own a 2016 SC245 and a newly acquired S2 594 single cut. Both have similar configurations with the push/pull tone pots configured to provide singles coil tones (Although I don’t think that’s relevant to the question).
One song I was learning had a “stutter“ effect at the end where I’d turn the neck pickups volume all the way down and I’d switch between the bridge and neck to create the stutter. But what I noticed was that in the middle position, with the neck all the way off, there was no volume at all! I’d assume with these style of guitars you’d hear the bridge pickup only allowing you to roll in the neck pickup. But I hear nothing.
Before I bought the 594, I thought maybe something was wrong with the wiring in the SC 245. But after practicing with the 594, it does exactly the same thing. Now I must conclude this is normal and there must be a good reason why. I just don’t know what it could be.
It’s not a big deal, but it‘s a head scratcher.
BTW…I’m in live with the S2’s. An S2 594 double cut is definitely a future purchase. Especially with the 10th anniversary ones coming to Canada soon.
