I have since acquired another one, which has been treated to a DiMarzio PAF Pro at the neck, and a DiMarzio Tone Zone at the bridge, again with Series/Parallel and Phase switching. :D
Gibson makes ridiculously over-priced versions of these. I'm much too busy enjoying my guitars to decide whether I should feel contempt or pity for those who get sucked into buying 'Gypsons'.
