I’ve got four Carved Top Soloist bodies from different eras, and they are all a bit different. One (not pictured) is the modern style double lamtop, I chose Aaron’s off menu PRS style controls for it. The standard controls look like a clone of the Strat style ones.
The other three are all pre-double lamtops of varying ages. I think the red is the oldest, I’ve had it since 2000 and it was in this condition when I got it. The 5-Way is low and out the the way and the volume/tone is very “flat”. This is my favorite configuration. I think the Amber one is next, the 5-way is in Strat position but the volume/tone is still “flat”. I think the burst is from the era just before the double lamtop took over, the controls looks very much like Strat 5-way, Volume/Tone1.
Is anyone else aware of any other configs that were available? (And anyone selling any of the pre double lamtop carved top soloists? They are my favorite body)
