is it possible to wire a H-H, 3-way guitar so that the middle selection kills the guitar completely? My friend saw my guitar and demanded I work on his. All help is appreciated!

Yeah, that would be pretty easy i think!

Just use a switch with one input and three switchable outputs. Then put the signal from the two pickups into it's quot;outputquot; lug, leaving the middle lug unassigned. Then you connect from the quot;inputquot; lug to the jack plug or whatever.

I think that would work, but i'm not 100% sure . You'd better ask Artietoo or someone who really knows this!

that sounds about right. I'm thinking there's going to be some kind of grounding madness with that middle lug though. im also using a push-pull to turn the bridge on, and replacing the tone knob. like that kid uses the tone knob anyways...

Yeah, you're proably rigth. You should connect the middle lug to ground then, i suppose it could work.

Im just a bit too tired to think properly, but i'll try my best to help you if there is anything, ok?Erlend's pretty much got it. It would be like this, perhaps:Top half shows using an quot;Alcoquot; style switch. Bottom, a standard Tele 3-way.

How would I perform thsi task with a les paul type 3 way switch?

you could try just grounding the middle, one lead from each side and then connect them together and run to the jack or tone or whatever your doing. but of course i have no idea what im really saying. just a thought.

I would totally rock balls out like that if it was my axe.. but you should see the wiring on this thing. its an ibanez iceman... the electronics are IMMACULATE. I'm afraid to soil them.

It would be real difficult to do with this type of switch, unless both pickups were wired in series.

Uhm the pickups have 2 wires, which im assuming are hot and ground. Is it possible to wire it like this:

1 - Neck
2 - Off
3 - Bridge

thanks artie (or anyone else who knows the answer)

I was quot;doodlingquot; this up at work. I just don't see any way to do it with an LP style switch. You need to quot;breakquot; a connection in the middle, not quot;makequot; one.

(But it does work in series.)

How would I do it in series?

bump.
