T8 Stringmaster question

Post by Pete Martin »

I have a D8 from 56 but thinking of acquiring a T8 from 58. On neck 1 there are volume and tone controls. On neck 2, there are two switches. I assume 1 switches between the 3 necks. What does the other one do?

Sorry for the newbie question, thanks in advance!

It bypasses the selector switch and makes all three necks on and in parallel. It makes for a thinner, scooped tone.
