I'm glad I could help... Gary can I ask, are both of your tone knobs the same. I seem to have one "Delta Tone" I think they call it, where there is a a bypass of the pot at the 10 position. The second tone knob doesn't have this? I looked on the fender site to get the specs but they only list one tone knob for the guitar? SO... I thought I'd check with you to see what you've got?
Aloha Robert,
I played with the tone controls a bit and did not see anything that seemed out of the ordinary to me. The top tone control only affects only the neck pick up, while the bottom pot controls the middle and bridge pickups. If I turned either of the tone controls to the ten position it did not seem to do anthing other max out the tone for the associated pick up.
Let me know if there is a certain test for determining the delta tone setup, I will be happy to do it...right now though I am seeing what I would expect to see.
The one thing I discovered is that although the pickup switch has only three positions you can actually place the switch "between" the factory settings, thus picking up two addtional positions (you end up with a 5 position switch). I believe it was common for guitarist to do this before Fender came out with the 5 position switch. If you play with this you see what I mean. Just move the switch to a position between say the bridge and mid pickup, you will not feel the switch engage but it will stay there..you will hear that both pickups are active.
BTW: I adjusted the neck on mine and it came out great.. took a whole three minutes
