Hi guys, sorry to sound like abit lame, but what are the different knobs on the guitar? And what is that treble and rythmn thing which can be flipped up or done? what does it do? thanks for helping!
 
hey,

The switch is your pick up selector, it has 3 options (most probably, judging from your guitar, it could be a les paul copy).

The first, rhythm, set the pickup to the neck pickup. It will give you a warm and fatter tone, suitable for some rhythm playing and warm lead as the name suggests.

The second, treble, set the pickup to the bridge/rear pickup. It will give you a more trebly, cutting and arguably more biting tone, suitable for searing lead and tight rhythm playing.

The third will be combination of both pickup (both on) that will give you the unique 'middle' sound. Try experimenting with each!

As for the knobs, the ones to your left (if you're a right hander and play right handed guitar) are the volume and tone knob for the neck pickup, the one on top being the volume knob. The same goes for the other one. Hope it helps :]
