Compared to the Obsidian® Vintage Plus set you will get more interactive volume controls (Warmer sounds at lower volumes), greater clarity and output from the bridge pickup, and an increased range of treble roll off from the tone controls.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINTERACTIVE VOLUME CONTROL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe volume control on the 54' Strats roll off treble with volume, so your sounds gets warmer as it gets quieter.  This can be the perfect solution for very easily rolling between  rhythm and lead.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWIDE RANGE TONE CONTROLS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 54 Strats came with one tone control for the neck pickup, and another for the middle pickup. They ran through a 0.1mfd capacitor and 250k pots, which allows a greater range of treble roll off than the modern Strats that usually run off a more limited 0.047uf or even 0.022uf capacitor. Leaving the bridge pickup with a tone control reduces its capacitance load, resulting in a slightly more treble, and overall output for a brighter sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5 WAY SWITCH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe original 54' Strats used a 3-way switch.
