It's a MIJ "Grassi Custom" with bolt-on neck. I wonder what all those switches do...

G germs Member Messages 6,022 Jan 13, 2010 #2 You might have noticed that there's no selector switch. So...the 3 switches turn pickups ON/OFF independently. Also, 3 knobs are volume knobs for the pickups, and one is for overall tone. Market "V" and "T" respectively. Cool guitar though.
