So I've added a pickup to my PRS and want to change the toggle switch so that I can get:
1.Bridge
2.Middle
3.Neck
I know that this is possible with only one switch as I have seen it done before, and I'm even fairly certain that I've found the right switch for it (essentially a dpdt switch the size of a lp toggle), however, I was talking to my friend who used to do a bit of guitar wiring and he said that you needed to do odd wiring on the pots for it - I've currently got 2volumes & 2 tones, and was gonna change to 3 volumes and a master tone, and just have the volumes wired before going to the switch, and the master tone between the output of the switch and the jack.
can anyone see a problem with this? I haven't really been able to find anything online about this specific wiring set up - all the three pickups with a toggle switch i've found usually have something along the lines of bridge/bridge+middle/neck or bridge/middle+neck/neck, where I really just want each pickup individually - I don't have much use for the other tones
The other question I have is that if this would work, does anyone have a line on switches like this that aren't at a right angle? I'd rather not route out the back of my guitar as I don't have any guides for the router
Any help would be appreciated!
