What is the reason for connecting 3 with A?

Re: Review: Virtual 3rd Humbucker

Interesting question. I need to study this some more, but it does look like neck black could go straight to "3", and bridge green could go straight to "A". Let me study that some more.

Ok . . . I had to redraw that to remind myself. That connection must be there. Here, I drew it the "new" way. Note that when the neck pup is selected, the bridge pup hangs out on the "hot" side of the circuit as a giant noise antenna. The purpose of the 3-to-A connection is to short out the bridge when it isn't selected, thus making it silent. I knew there was a reason for doing it that way.



P.S. And thanks metlking for digging up that diagram. I could have found it eventually. But it could have been a long eventually.
