The Neck Pickup Mode Switch permits to select either a Humbucker or a Single

Coil for the neck pickup. When in Humbucker mode (toggle towards the

peghead, see diagram A on previous page), you'll have a full tone, almost free

of hum. In the Single Coil position (toggle towards the tailpiece, B on that same

diagram), the tone of the neck pickup will be more clear and bright, although

more prone to being affected by electromagnetic interference.

Single coil pickups obtained by canceling one of the coils of a humbucker (as

done here) are usually disregarded by most players, as they tend to be weaker

than real single coils. Nonetheless, your Siracusa 15E+/16E+ guitar has a very

uncommon neck pickup and circuitry: when in single coil mode, a third coil is

added on top, giving you the tone and punch that you expect from a real single

coil. I like to call this the Enhanced Single Coil mode.

Most guitars with two humbuckers use the mid position of the pickup selector

to connect the neck and bridge pickups in parallel. This is a simple wiring

arrangement, but it causes interactions (usually unwanted) between volume

and tone pots, that are also connected in parallel together with the pickups.

Instead, for the mid position of the switch, the Siracusa 15E+/16E+ does as

follows:

It makes up another pickup (the Mid Pickup) by taking a coil from the



neck pickup and another from the bridge pickup, and connecting them in

series. These coils are the one closer to the neck and the one closer to

the bridge, so this new pickup is also a series humbucker, the same as

the other two.

It has its own volume control, independent from the other two.
