You can clip the two resistors on the boost pot to get the full 25db like Buddy uses. I put a push/pull switch in mine so I can have it either way.

Btw, the pickups in it are hardly "Ultra Quiet". But if you replace them be sure to take the dummy coil out, at least disconnect it. It doesn't get along with strangers.

Remove the dummy coil only if you install hum-cancelling pickups. Keep it if you plan using regular single coils.

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but my 97 powerhouse's neck was never quite perfect, and is so bowed now that it would need a heat press to straighten it (the truss rod is as tight as she'll go, and I've even added a couple of washers). How did you get Fender to replace an old neck for free?!
