"Unlike the 600, the 800 Combo model had a double-coil horseshoe pickup and a second switch to engage one or both coils. The burnished metal pickguard on this example may not be original. The Combo 600 and 800 models were also available with a Toaster Top neck pickup added and these two-pickup guitars were known as the 650 and 850 models, respectively."
