there are 4 terminals on each side of the switch, the "0" lug is the common lug

Re: lug 0 on a switch?

where is it located?

it varies from different types of switches.... for fender type switches it's generally the top right and bottom left lug (if you look at it so the switch runs vertically, doesnt matter if you flip it over, the common's in the same place)

OHHHHHH you should have told me this at the beginning, on those tyles of switches, there is no "0" lug, do you want a normal 3 way pickup selector?
a.k.a. neck, neck+bridge, bridge?

edit: well, they DO have a "0" lug, or should i say lugs, but they're not ususally used in the same sense as a pickup switch, but in this case they are... the 2 "0" lugs would be the middle terminals on each pole.
