Title: Les Paul-like wiring with a switchcraft on-on-on slide switch : possible ?
Post by: ricothetroll on January 03, 2012, 12:34:21 PM

Hi,
A friend of mine asked me to wire his guitar with a switch like this one :
http://www.guitarelectronics.com/product/SWS3-29/Switchcraft-3-Way-ONONON-Guitar-Slider-Switch-White.html (NO COM)
He'd like it to be wired like a Gibson Les Paul, Pos 1 = Bridge pickup, Pos 2 = Neck + Bridge, Pos 3 = Neck. I turned the problem in every direction my little brain could but I just can't figure out how to wire it ! Would one of you guys have an idea ? Is it actually possible ?
Any clue would be appreciated...
Best regards.
Eric
