What does the extra switch do?
About a decade ago I spent a week flat on my back after playing my old 12.5 lb bass for three hours at a jam. The lightweight guitar thing is as real as it can be for me.
I've spent the last 10 years replacing my 80 lb amps and boat anchor guitars with lightweight gear. I don't have a guitar left that's over 8 lbs, nor any amp over 45 lbs (my AC15, and I don't move it around much). My on-the-go amps are 1 x 10" combos.
First consideration on any piece of gear is weight for me. Too heavy and it's a no go right off the bat. I'll just hand it right back to you and say "no thanks".

Hmmm, why just weigh 'em when you can bore 'em out?
I don't care if it floats on air - or I need a cherry picker....It's ALL (I'll Repeat that) IT'S ALL about the neck.
Strings....weight...name brand...value...age...how pretty or reliced...don't mean NOTHING if it don't feel right to YOUR hands.
You know the perfect guitar as soon as you hold it.

It's a phase-shift switch, so you can choose in or out of phase in positions 2 and 4.

If he has one of my strats I have problems. "Not a chew toy, Floki-dog!".
Update - Just got the new "10 for 15" delivered. Knew it was light when I took it out of the box. An even 7 lbs! Now my lightest guitar.

I’m jealous man, that’s a great guitar! Many happy miles!
If I ever go to sell it, I'll keep you in mind!
