S-1 switch on the master-volume control
Splits the bridge humbucker for an added pickup setting.

Independent shopping perspective
Cover clean parts and higher-gain material from one HSS layout with this right-handed American Ultra II Stratocaster. A Haymaker humbucker sits at the bridge, joined by Ultra II Noiseless Hot Strat pickups in the middle and neck positions. Use the five-way blade for pickup selection, then engage the S-1 volume control to split the humbucker. The quartersawn maple Modern D neck carries an Ultra satin finish and a 10–14 inch compound-radius maple fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets. Locking tuners and a two-point synchronized tremolo complete the hardware.
