I have a question about the electronics in these puppies.
I just bought one yesterday, and was surprised to discover that the two volume controls are only useful for adjusting the volume of the individual pickups when you're only using one or the other pickup. If the toggle is in the center position, with both pickups active, either volume control functions as a master volume. So my question is: what's the point of having two volume controls at all?
