I have to say, through my system I couldn't hear much difference, but owning this Mustang Special myself I can agree that in person I find the various pickup configurations do offer distinct tones. My default starting position is with both inner coils active. Here clean tone has a quality that reminds me of an amplified acoustic guitar. Switching both pickups to their 'outer' coils activates both the bridge and neck pickups together; a configuration not achievable on a strat. Another favourite setting is what I call the Micawber configuration, with the bridge single coil active and full neck humbucker. In total there are 15 pickup settings. not bad for this tidy little swiss army guitar. This is a guitar for life as far as I'm concerned.

Agreed. once you play with it, there are a lot of sounds on tap with this guitar. thanks!
