Ryan built it with push/pull knobs to allow you to use it in humbucker mode or single coil. The default mode (knobs in) is in single-coil for that twangy lap steel sound. When you pull the two forward knobs out, both coils kick in and give you that silky smooth humbucking sound.

The photos below were taken by Ryan when he first built it so the levers are now in different spots as mentioned above under Tuning (they're on strings 1,2 and 3). I haven't actually used it much (been playing an 8-string and my ukuleles) so it's in perfect, like-new condition with no dings, dents, bumps, electrical problems etc. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! - Mary
