Lindsey's guitar is wired differently from the average guitar. This is something of an innovation by Rick Turner, even though Lindsey is using a Gibson on Big Love.
Guitars have pickups that "pick up" the sound from the strings and the vibration of the wood, and send the signal to an amplifier. The conventional guitar has one to three pickups (acoustics usually have just one). The pickup processes the sound from all the strings together. Lindsey's guitar has pickups for each string, making it possible to adjust volume and EQ for each string individually. This is a huge breakthrough, but not one that too many people would likely take advantage of -- too much of a pain in the ass to go through all that.
