Epiphone les paul switch

[Progbusters]

Just a public service announcement for the new and uninitiated. The stock ephiphone les paul three-way switch has the grounds reversed from most wiring diagrams you see out on the internet.

I spent 2 nights pulling my hair out wondering why my complete wiring job wasn't working. damn switch :rocket:
gawd....

It's from that commercial......"It's on the internet, so it must be real". The dude is a French model, 'cause he said so on the internet. "Bonjour!"

Funny damn commercial.

If its a typical gibby 3 way, even switchcraft themselves make 2 versions......where the ground leaf comes out on one version on the opposite side. Its just a matter of knowing your switch and components and how they work rather than blindly following a generic schematic.

The "thang" with LP switches, (unless you get the cheapest of the cheapest "box" version), are open frame. You can just look at the bottom and see what is what.
