Yes, sounded good and PT has been playing EC Signatures (with mods) since the mid-90's.

Pete's Superbowl strat

I noticed that the strat(s) had an extra knob beside the bridge. What is this, a custom modification or a factory option? On another thread they thought this was a strat plus.

The extra knob behind the bridge let's him dial in the fishman bridge for his acoustic tones. Here's a great youtube vid by his longtime tech discussing all of the ins and outs of pete's red strat.....

Thanks for that info, and for the tip on the video. He evidently blends both the Fishman and the pickups for his typical sound rather than using the Fishman alone for his acoustic stuff?
