  • Toggle Switch Troubles

    Hello all! I have a quick question that may seem silly, but I'm new to guitar wiring!

    So, I'm looking to potentially wire a 3 way on/on/on switchcraft slide switch as a traditional 3 way toggle switch. If the slide switch is a DP3T, is this possible to do?

      Hey as long as it works, sounds good to me! Thanks a bunch for the diagram!

      Now, do you know if I could use the same slide switch (with only 2 pickups) to wire it as on/off/on, to select just one pickup at a time? How would this be wired different? Thanks a bunch for all your help

          Sweet, thanks! And that would just be mirrored on the other side?

            No. Just as you see it is all you need. The other side will be blank.
