•Modeled Stratocaster (S): In this modeling mode, your guitar plays with the soundofaslightly different Stratocaster tone, but with some new possibilities. You no w have the option of a 12-string sound or severaldifferent alternatetunings (see page 11).

•Telecaster (T): In this modeling mode, the guitar plays with the sound ofa Telecaster guitar. The 'snap' of the bridge position, the 'chirp' of themiddleposition, it's all there. And of course there's the option of the 12-string sound and the alternate tunings.

•Humbucking Pickups (H): In this modeling mode, your guitar plays with the sound of two high output humbucking pickups; one in the

neck position and one in the bridge position. Thisis the mode where you’ll find that oh-so desirable warm, full tone you’dexpect from high end humbucking pickups.

•Acoustic (A): In this modeling mode, your guitar playswith the warm, full sound of an acoustic guitar. In this position the blade switch switches between various acoustic tones from the warmth of a dreadnought to the bright, cutting sound of a resonator’s smooth

bluesy twang.
