SP/DT question

[Chamorro]

Sorry if it's already been covered in another thread, but I was wondering if I could use 1 SP/DT switch to split both a bridge and a neck humbucker at the same time? Can they share the same lug, or does each pup need it's own lug (and hence require a DP/DT?)

Re: SP/DT question

You need a DPDT to do it in the conventional manner. If you use a SPDT switch, you'ld have a coil of each pup on at all times. As I and another have discovered, that can be a cool sound in and of itself, but it won't be "conventional".

Thanks. That SPDT issue does actually sound like a cool mod, but I think I'll try it out on the guitar I don't use very much, assuming my nephew(s) don't want it.
