allright...need some wiring suggestions...

[krankguitarist]

So, my DPDT switch on my tele broke the other day...so I went out and bought another one. This time, I got it home, and found that it was a DP3T switch, an ON/ON/ON.

So...Instead of goin out and buying another one...i've decided "f*** it" and I'll just figure out a way to make this one work.

So...I've got this switch....I've also got two push-pull pots if I need em...I wanna be able to split my pickups (its an HH guitar), but...I'm feelin a little experemental, what else can i possibly do with this guitar?

EDIT: if yall could hook me up with some schmatics thta would reek of awesomeness

Just to be clear, are you sure its DP3T? The 3T doesn't refer to "handle positions", but to contact points. Does it have 6 lugs?

It does have 6 lugs, though I'll admit I shouldn't be using this terminology cause I'm still pretty new to it :smack:.

No prob. That just means it works like this:

There are some interesting things to with that. Let me see what I can come up with, and other folks too.

That switch is ideal for Series/Split/Parallel options on one of your pups.
