                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Musen, thanks for the reply! how do you like the VCC on your guitar? thats one of the things i find so intriguing about the line.

I like them -- I find myself dialing them in and out to control tone, especially to get the right mix with the others in the band. I especially being able to dial up to full humbucker or dial out to get a single coil sound, with a range of tone in between.  I know this answer's not terribly articulate, but it's about the best I can do!]]></content:encoded>
