Seems stupid to have to email for specs on I guitar I've been playing for 11 years. I know how to get the sounds I like, but sometimes I wonder why I'm getting them.

Is this the right place to post this question?

Hello Rusty,

our file cabinets are a bit inaccessible at the moment, since we're moving stuff around in the office. As soon as I can get to them I'll catch up with the build record requests.

You shoulda done a few more push-ups and ate your spinach more when you were a kid, Valentino. If you had, you could lift whatever's in teh way up with one hand and opened the file drawers with the other;)

Hey, I ate all the spinach, as I've always liked them, but I was never into pushups...and...you haven't seen what it's in the way...:-)

No sweat Val, like I said, it's been 11 years. The only reason I even ask is that I kinda remember there being a yellow card when I bought the guitar saying there was a pan knob but they seem to be bass and treble. The other thing I'm curious about is the pick up selector. Bridge seems up, neck in the middle & both down? Which would be different than most guitars I've had. The down postions seems to add gain, not that its louder as much as more gritty. Anyway, take your time, eat your spinach and don't get too frieked out on Halloween.

Here's what's in the file:

top: Flame Maple
accent pinstripe: Purpleheart
body: Mahogany
neck: Maple, 25.50" scale
fingerboard: Ebony with pearloid ovals
pickups: HB
controls: volume, bass, treble, pickups selector
output: mono, sidemounted
originally sold to: Select Guitars, CT
birthday: not recorded, but likely late June or early July 1994.

The pickup selector switch is usually a one pickup-both-the other arrangement. To confirm, tap on the pickups with something ferrous (like a screwdirver) and see what results the various positions yield.
