I'm wiring my guitar up following the 2 humbucker, 2vol , 1 tone w/3 way schematic from the Duncan site, but my 3 way switch has 8 contact points like an ibanez HSH guitar, not 4 points like its supposed to, can anyone please tell me the right way to wire up this 8 point switch to work like a normal 4 point les paul or tele switch?My switch is the £7.00 3 way switch

Hey matt; Welcome to the forum. Your switch should connect like this:Just use the four terminals on one side only, for straight 3-pickup switching.
(Ignore the four terminals labeled with a quot;2quot;.)

The pickup quot;hotquot; wires go to the neck/middle/bridge labels, and the quot;commonquot; goes out to the volume control.

Thanks for the greatly needed info on this switch, but what if you had 2 hums and a seperate vol for each pup, and only 1 tone. Utilizing a standard les paul switching config. i.e. bridge , bridge/Neck, Neck selections.

Ok, your neck pickup will connect to the neck volume control. Take the output of that volume control and connect it on that switch where it says quot;neck 1quot; and quot;middle 1quot;. Yes, both terminals.

Take the bridge pup and connect it to the bridge volume control. Take the bridge volume controls output and connect it to where the switch says quot;bridge 2quot; and quot;middle 2quot;. Again, both terminals.

Connect the tone control and the quot;hotquot; of the output jack to both terminals that say quot;common 1quot; and quot;common 2quot;.

I know that sounds confusing, but I can draw up a diagram when I get home. (Several hours from now.)

Thanks for that, i diagram would be extremely helpful if that wouldn't be too much hassle
