Multi-STRATO
 
made for Ingo Powitzer.  It might look harmless but there is a monster hidden inside.
This STRATO does it all, pure vintage singlecoil sounds - plus real Musclebucker at the Bridge
and PAF sounds at the neck. And in pos. 3 of the switch you get a TELE sound (bridge and neck singlecoil)
It´s possible by the use of my patent pickupsClick on the picture to supersize
