Each neck had two single-coil pickups. These could be blended by a small wheel attached to a pot that sat just behind the bridge, introduced in 1954. The bridge pick-up was always on, and the neck pickup could be feed in to taste using the blend pot. A neck selector switch controlled which neck's pickups were 'live'. On earlier 1950's models, the neck selector was controlled by push-buttons. A single tone and a single volume control served the entire instrument.
