    50th Anniversary Strat Question... Urgent!

    Hey, my friend is looking to by the 50th Anni strat, he's actually got one on hold right now, but he had a very important question. The question is... what exactly does the S-1 switcher do? He says when it was off, the guitar, when set to the middle pickup, was completely silent. When the switch was on, all the pickups worked. Is this normal? Please help the man out! :)

    Bizarre.

    The Fender website, or Mr. Gearhead should have details.
    Several guitars in different colors
    Things to make them fuzzy
    Things to make them louder
    orange picks

    Yes, the PDF show that all positions should have sound.
    Middle position should be the middle pickup in series with their special capacitor.
