Graph Tech Acoustiphonic Quickswitch

[Timmsie95]

So, graph tech has a diagram on how to use a Gibson style 3 way switch as the quick switch to go from piezo/both/mag, and if it attaches properly, i attached a screenshot of that diagram. What I'd like to know is how they wired that? By the looks of it, they solder each side of the output lug, to it's corresponding input lug? And if I'm using the switchcraft style, I'd need to run a wire to the other end of the switch, because the ground and output are reversed.

My idea is to design a nomad with a ghost system, and get them to rout for both toggle positions... One for mag pickup selector, and one for the quickswitch. arty07:
I hope I'm thinking right.

I figured someone would be able to help on here  :dontknow: i emailed their tech support, but they haven't gotten back to me yet.

I wish I could be of more help, but I used the supplied mini-toggle when I had a Ghost system installed. Graphtech support is usually pretty good, but it may take a few days to hear back.

I can't help much either as it doesn't seem complete to me. It's basically the same as the diagram with the mini-toggle though so I can't see why it wouldn't work.

Here's the full diagram:

That diagram looks wrong. Seems to me the inner(output) lugs should be soldered together and the outer(input) lugs should get a mag out and a piezo out. Just like in a regular ol HH threeway setup.

I thought that too, but they say to use an on/off/on switch when you're using a mini toggle, so I don't know.

There was something that I read that said they used on/off/on switches for the quickswitch, but I've found more people saying it's an on/on/on, which makes more sense.
So now I'm pretty sure they use an SP3T On/On/On switch. My mom's company has accounts with digikey, so I can easily get one with a 1/2" mounting diameter. So as long as it is in fact a DP3T On/On/On switch, I should be good. The switch I'm thinking of getting is an NTE 54-371.
