Since the circuit only has a 2-way switch instead of a 3-way switch, you can’t play both the neck and bridge pickup at the same time. (Maybe Al Caiola didn’t like a middle-position sound; who knows?) There are also five additional mini-slider switches labeled 1—5 which make up the Tone Expressor system. This particular guitar includes a seperate pickguard with 3 way toggle switch that can be soldered in to use both pickups at once in a more tradtional style wiring configuration .
