    Holden: You're in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down... Leon: What one? Holden: What? Leon: What desert? Holden: It doesn't make any difference what desert, it's completely hypothetical. Leon: But, how come I'd be there? Holden: Maybe you're fed up. Maybe you...

    For a typical Strat, why 2 Tone knobs?

    That is the explanation Tavarez gave in a famous publication. Neck and middle were discussed as "rhythm pickups" therefore they were supposed to be adjustable. Bridge was used just for soloing and cutting edge.

    For a typical Strat, why 2 Tone knobs?

    The reason of that wiring is that amplifiers of that era lacked high end, therefore it made sense to Leo to wire the bridge pickup without tone. More modern wirings have the bridge pickup sharing the second tone with the middle pickups, while most superstrats have just a master volume and a...
