I have a 1982 The Strat. Details about this odd model can be found here.
This is a 2 position switch under what would be the 2nd tone knob on my 1982 The Strat. While replacing the volume pot, I noticed that 41 years has this switch looking pretty corrode-y. Thing is, I realized that if I ever wanted to replace this, I have no idea what I'd replace it with, as I haven't come across a switch that does the same thing.
So, with this weird switch in position 1, the regular 5 position switch works likes a normal Strat. In position 2, it does:
1. Bridge
2. N+B in parallel
3. N+M in series
4. N+B in parallel, with the middle in series
5. M+B in series
Diagrams online are scarce. There is a diagram in the Fender Stratocaster book, but it is small. I did manage to find this:
Attached is a scan at too low a resolution to see details as well as a pic of my actual switch.
Anyone ever seen a switch that does this? Was this some kind of strange switch made up for this model of guitar?
