Replies GothNinja Posted at 7:14 pm on Dec. 13, 2008 keep it on bridge setting when playing power chords and stuff like that. If you're gonna do some lead work, flick it up 1 before its full neck setting. And then it should sound pretty sweet. But it all depends on what kind of amp you're using.. My experiance, steer clear of Marshall amps, unless they're hand wired.. But like i said, it all comes down to what kind of music you're wanting to play.. imthisguy123456 Posted at 7:12 pm on Dec. 13, 2008 dude.... so i have this sorta problem as well. and for most general purposes, if you point the stick towards the neck all the way, and then turn the tone for that to about 3-5 youll get this classic electric guitar sound. it may not work for all types of music, but its awsome for the vast majority of it!  <br> hope this helps! Anonymous Posted at 7:11 pm on Dec. 13, 2008 it has three single coil pickups. GothNinja Posted at 7:10 pm on Dec. 13, 2008 Does it have single coils or a mixture of single coils and a humbucker? bambi89 Posted at 7:10 pm on Dec. 13, 2008 depends on the guitar. though id generally go with bridge setting.
