POSITION 4 POSITION 1 ELECTRICAL FUNCTION Two circuits 'A' & 'B' have commons 'CA' and 'CB' each connecting to: B1,B2,M1,M2,N1,N2 (sometimes in combination) in varying switch positions. A & B side switching differs: 'A' combines B1+B2/N1+N2 'B' isolates B1+B2/N1+N2. 'GD' is 'ground' or 'earth'.

Grd To Bridge Tone (Neck) Vol (Neck) Use multi-core screened cable between switch and controls on LP-style guitars. 'Link' wires would normally be connected for series humbucker operation (typically these are North & South finish wires).

Notes:- Grd To Bridge Vol (Neck) Optional Push/Pull Pot affects position 5 only: push in for middle pickup only, pull out for Neck+Middle+Bridge pickups. Omit push/ pull pot and dotted wires for middle pickup only in position 5. Use multi-core screened cable between switch and controls on LP-style guitars. Vol (Mid) For Humbucker guitars, middle PU is normally reverse phase.

NECK BRIDGE Notes:- Grd To Bridge Tone (Neck) Vol (Neck) Positions 4, 5 & 6 entirely bypass vol and tone controls, connecting pickups directly to the output. Hear your pickups wide open for lead, set up precise levels using vol/tone controls for rhythm, or use as a mute-switch. Use multi-core screened cable between switch and controls on LP-style guitars.
BRIDGE NECK REVERSE VIEW OF PICKUPS, SWITCH AND POTENTIOMETERS. Notes:Positions 4, 5 & 6 enable output from piezo system, (piezo output is connected to ground in positions 1, 2 & 3). For 'piezo only' (no Mag.s) in position 5, unlink Neck 'Hot' from M2 only and then connect M2 only to 'ground'. Use multi-core screened cable between switch and controls on LP-style guitars. Piezo controls may replace Mag Vol/Tone controls as preferred.
