The Status maple-top guitar (2004)
Specifications:
This version comes with a piezo bridge. In addition to the normal
hum bucking pickups and controls an additional 6 individual piezo
pickups are mounted directly on the bridge saddles which are then
fed through to an "intelligent" active circuit. This circuit not
only has a separate volume control to allow the pickups to be
blended to any degree but it is also able to detect the presence of
either a stereo or mono guitar cable. If a standard mono cable is
used in the socket nearest the strap buttons both the magnetic and
piezo pickups are fed through the same amplifier. If a Stereo jack
is used in this same socket the signals are automatically split
stereo and may be fed, through a single stereo cable, to different
amplifiers or to different processors on a mixing console. If two
standard mono leads are used the signals are split stereo through
individual cables.

All Status Graphite Guitars use the same pickups and controls. 2 *
Alnico hum bucking pickups, custom wound to
complement this unique instrument, are fed to a 3-way selector
switch, master volume and tone controls. The tone control also has a
push-pull coil tap to allow single coil / hum bucking modes.
These guitars are fitted with a dual-action tension-rod. This allows
the individual player to fine tune the action to suit their own
playing style. The truss-rod is accessible through a small covered
slot in the front face of the fingerboard between the 21st and 22nd
frets.
All guitars have a 10 degree lay-back headstock and graphite
impregnated top-nut. This allows the strings to move smoothly across
the top-nut.
