Default How does a 3-way pickup selector work?


"mark" wrote in message
. ..
Hi,
I was wondering if someone can explain how a 3-way pickup selector (or
toggle switch) work on a electric guitar (with 2 humbucker pickups)? Are
there any web sites explaining with diagrams how they work?
I wanted a way of comparing to see if my 3-way toggle switch was working
properly or not. Are there any other ways of testing it to see if it's
working properly?
Thanks,
Mark



Isn't it just a switch? Moving the switch should make and break continuity
between various pins on the back of it, usually it's not too hard to figure
out the arrangement with an ohm meter.
