Hey Eric,
What they mean is, if your guitar is setup like a
Stratocaster traditionally is, then the five-way
switch is wired to have: bridge pup only, bridge and
middle pup, middle pup only, middle and neck pup, and
neck pup only. The traditional surf tone comes from
the neck and bridge pickups together, which is an
option you don't have, but by taking off the pickgaurd
and simply swapping the positions of the middle and
neck pickup, you can do it without having to rewire
anything. I did this with a Squier Strat that I had
for a brief period of time and it makes a difference.
It doesn't really make it sound more like a Jaguar at
all, since Strat pickups and Jag pickups are
different, but it gives you the pickup configuration
most surf guitarists use on their Jags and
Jazzmasters; bridge + neck.
Anybody feel free to correct me if I'm wrong or add
anything.
Richard
