Control wise, you'll find a more traditional V/P/B/T setup, as opposed to the filter(s) found on the other electronic packages. hammer Senior Member Username: hammer Post Number: 701 Registered: 9-2009 Posted on Saturday, May 16, 2015 - 3:40 pm:    I love the electronics package on my 6-string Europa. The neck is very wide, however and of course adds appreciably to the weight (11.2 lbs). Controls: Vol/Pan/Filter/Bass cut-flat-boost/Treble cut-flat-boost/Q.
