What kind of pickup selector is on Guthrie's signature Suhr? I took my Vigier to a luthier to do the same configuration Guthrie has and said that it can't be done with my pickup selector.

From the Suhr site on Guthrie's page:

Quote:
The 4-pole Mega 5-way switch gives you auto-split of the humbuckers in the 2nd, 3rd (middle) and 4th positions for great single-coil sounds that are ideal for funk rhythm to country twang. A push-push tone pot gives you another option of splitting the neck humbucker alone, providing yet another superb single-coil sound (outside coil of the SSV) for both articulate lead work and a jangly rhythm sound.


Most 5 way switches are 2 pole 5 way switches. With a 2 pole you'd be limited to the number of coil-tap options and positions you could create.
