Bobby Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Gday I have a situation with a pair of EMG's (Active-81-85, well actually a Zak Wilde Set) anyhoo I am going to ditch and fill in the pcik up selector, question is for a method or diagram to have a push pull knob select between the two bukers. I am not interested in the middle selection of both pickeps etc. Didnt have any luck with the search function could someone point me in the right direction?

GregP Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Sorry, no suggestions-- it can be done, of course, I just don't have the information. Gotta say, though... sounds like a bad idea. Filling and refinishing an area is tough work, and in this case I don't see returns on the investment. Push-pull is cumbersome enough, IMO, but I like the way it stays out of the way. But that's on guitars that already have a switch of some sort and would need an additional switch for tapping. If you only have one switch as it stands, I don't really see any good reason to switch (no pun intended) from elegant (or at least normal) switch to cumbersome push-pull. Everyone gets to pick their own design and their own mods, and I have no problem with whatever anyone cares to do-- I only mention it because of the ditching and filling of the selector. The work outweighs the benefits. For a from-scratch built, to each their own; or if you were already planning to refinish. But otherwise, sounds like a lot of work for a dubious return.

Bobby Posted October 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Gday Greg, ya its a complete teardown, the thing is stripped and paintless etc so its no real heartache for the fill I guess I should of mentioned that. I dont use/like the "normal" tone pots...Im just a simple ol school metal grinder so I am just one dirty growl tone 24/7..THe look I am going for is just the one knob. It will be the volume knob and in the "pushed' or down position it will be the bridge buker and then pulled (twice a year perhaps at funerals?) it would switch to the FB buker..so three functions with 1 knob for that spartan look I love. Hope that explains a bit better...cheerio chaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Well, if it's already stripped and torn apart, have at'er. I'm sure someone will be along with advice on the switch itself. The switch that's on a push-pull is just a DPDT switch, so any of the wiring diagrams you see with such a switch will also work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
