Mode Control:
N = Normal Stratocaster - in this modeling mode, your guitar uses it's three standard Strat pickups only and plays like a standard Stratocaster.
S = Modeled Stratocaster - in this modeling mode, your guitar plays with the sound of a slightly different Stratocaster tone, but with some new possibilities. You now have the option of a 12-string sound or several different alternate tunings.
T = Modeled Telecaster - in this modeling mode, the guitars plays with the sound of a Telecaster. The 'snap' of the bridge position, the 'chirp' of the middle position, it's all there. And of course there's the option of the 12-string sound and alternate tunings.
H = Modeled Humbuckers - in this modeling mode, your guitar plays with the sound of two high output humbucking pickups; one in the neck position and one in the bridge position. This is the mode where you'll find that oh-so desirable warm, full tone you'd expect from high end humbucking pickups.
A = Acoustic - in this modeling mode, your guitar plays with the warm, full sound of an acoustic guitar. In this position the blade switch switches between various acoustic tones from the warmth of a dreadnought to the bright, cutting sound of a resonator's smooth bluesy twang.
