Title: Toggle switch to select individual pups in a 3 pup SG?
Post by: Searing on December 29, 2023, 06:18:44 pm

I apologize that this isn’t tube amp related, but I have always turned to you all for the best help with this stuff.  So, I am adding a middle pup to an SG, and I want a toggle switch that will give me the option of choosing bridge only, middle only, and neck only.  I can’t seem to find what type of switch that allows me to do this.  Any thoughts?  Thanks!

I use a C&K 7211 switch to select channels on my two channel amps. It can also be wired to select one of three inputs. It's a DPDT ON-ON-ON mini toggle switch. Available with a variety of "bats". The C&K brand is high quality. Here's one on eBay.
