That certainly may be true Ralf, but the reversed pickup in addition to the extra pot makes me lean towards a tinkerer. On the other hand, how many people would want to mess around with wiring in a master volume on a hollowbody? Okay - toss up!Not necessarily. Might have been a special order that way.
Good eye! No idea unless the previous owner wanted to take some of the treble off the sound. Who knows?Welcome back! The neck pickup is mounted 180deg around, any specific reason?
Pickups are Fender HB-1, so guitar is a late Westerly made Starfire III.

Thanks Matsickma. I’ll check but I don’t think so. Nope. No push pull.Does the lable inside the guitar indicate a Special "Sp"?
With the Fender HB1's it would be easy to add "coil tap" functionality. Then flipping the neck pickup would change the tone a bit.
Does the Master Volume or any other cotrol knobs have push/pull POT installed? If you never tried it before see if you can pull the knobs up to "switch" to a coil tap. Start with Master Vol first.
Just maybe you have additional pickup wiring options available that you weren't aware of. (Note: The "Mars Music" special run of Tennessee Orange X170T's with the Fender HB1's came with the wiring functionality implement with a special Switchcraft switch. It could have been implement just as easily with a Push/Pull pots.
Check it out just to be sure.
And....a beauty of a SF3! Congratulations!
