While perusing picks of other plus guitars (just to reaffirm mine is the best lol) I noticed something that I can not believe no one else did with all my blatent pics of my guitar..My three knobs say Tone Tone and Tone all the exact same color shade of white etc but all the other pics I looked at say Volume, Tone, Tone
Please tell me it could have been done at the factory and its not just wrong..

It was either an accident at the factory (someone grabbed a "Tone" knob by mistake) or a previous owner was an EVH fan - when Ed was with Ernie Ball/Music Man he had them put a "Tone" knob on the volume pot of his signature model (which of course didn't have a tone control any way). Why? His quote was "you turn it up and you get great tone". Of course this was back in his pre-rehab days. :lol:

Yeah, it´s that well known tone mod I read that the other day.
It´s like Ritchie´s master volume knob.

Cheers,
Robin

I'm not sure what is funnier; the fact that you never noticed it before this or the fact that no one here noticed and pointed it out. :lol:

Without intending to be respectless or rude I dare to say, he's pulling our legs!
He probably just did it himself. :wink:

Don't tell me that no-one ever noticed that there's 3 Tone knobs!
Please don't!
Pleeeaaaseee! :mrgreen:

Oooops! :oops:

I'm honestly sorry. Ma'am!
So .... you REALLY just noticed this???
How cool is that! :D
Great, ha ha ha.
I love stuff like this!!! You rock!!! :)

We are so pre-determined that we actually don't look close enough sometimes. There has to be volume, tone, tone, so why bother looking??

This is so cool and please, don't be offended, but I think it's really funny. ha ha ha

Great!

Well, does the first tone adjust volume or tone?
Did you buy it new = lifetime warranty?
Wrong knob, change it.
Wrong knob & wiring and no volume control ability, get it rewired.
Good luck, Man.
