what difference does fretboard radius make?
A smaller radius is more comfortable for playing chords, while larger is generally better for single-note playing and bending.
What is the S-1 switch on my Telecaster
it doesn’t matter what position the pickup switch is on – you could be on the bridge pickup and when you push the S-1 button it automatically activates both pickups and puts them in Series Mode (essentially 1 humbucker).
