This is a very tidy "combo", a '62 reissue Burns Bison in a period correct reissue silver "croc" Burns hard case. Both are in very good condition indeed as you can see in the pictures.
The Bison is a truly unique retro UK design with a huge array of tonal options, typical of the era. and styling that unlike a Stratocaster...has not beed copied that often!

Asides the master volume and tone, the switching is like this.....

1. The A/B Mode Switch
This 2-way toggle switch modifies the circuit by either adding specific capacitors (blocking bass frequencies) or engaging unique transformer-coupled settings for the pickups.
  • Mode A: Standard, full-bodied tones (when applicable).
  • Mode B: Treble-heavy, "out-of-phase," or scooped mid-tone variations (often highly specific to the selected 4-way position). 
2. The 4-Way Pickup Selector
This switch controls the routing of the 3 pickups - Tri-Sonics, to give you these specific sonic presets:
  • Position 1 (Split Sound): Combines the bass half of the neck pickup with the treble half of the bridge pickup. This gives a uniquely clear tone that keeps the low strings thumpy without muddying the higher, sparkling strings. 
  • Position 2 (Bass / Jazz): Activates the neck pickup for a deep, warm, and rich tone. 
  • Position 3 (Treble): Activates the bridge pickup exclusively, delivering a bright, biting, and percussive sound.
  • Position 4 (Wild Dog): A famous Burns signature setting. It usually connects the bridge and middle pickups completely out of phase, creating a heavily hollowed, quacky, and almost synthesizer-like tone.
