Special Notes:
Reverse Wind - This is a good quality that assists the guitar in cutting down on pickup hum especially in clubs and places that have a lot of fluorescent and neon lighting. Makes for much more hum free sound from guitar.
Pickup Mixing = Different combinations of pickups used together will allow a player to get different sounds such as maybe blues in front and center with rock in back to give him a rock sound using this pickup and blues in others.
