3 humbucker LP

[shanejw]

I'd like to build an LP off of the showcase and have a middle humbucker pickup routed in.  Does anyone know if there is a switch that i could put in the toggle spot that could be used as a 5 way pickup selector?  Is there a such thing as a 5 way toggle?  Just asking.

you might be able to fit a rotary switch there....

not sure how you can get one of those though...

Just buy the Gibson and yank that sucker out!  :laughing11:

or you could use a standard toggle and a push/pull switch on one of the pots to turn on the middle pickup.

I've got a wiring to get either the middle alone, either the output of the normal 3 way alone, or both, with 2 pushpull pots. you can contact me for the schematic if you like. a strat-5way wont work. Tried it, didnt fit.

Where's reverse?  :icon_scratch:

there is no reverse - that baby only goes full speed ahead... or something like that :laughing8:

It needs a carbon fiber shift knob!

It may simply be a modified switchcraft switch. It has been given extra leaves. I don't know where to get one but here are a few takes ( diagrams) on the three-paul.

it really goes like a gearshift in the car. I dont think it's got something to do with just more leaves.

Yeah, I considered that function after posting. I haven't messed with a reed switch in quite some time. Instead of a reed it may be a 6 position bat. I haven't seen one of those on any search or ever come across one.  :icon_scratch:
