Not all Fender-style switches have the contacts in the same order. There is a 'sweeper' that is constantly connected and this mates with each other other three contacts in turn. These is one switch like this on each side of the switch so the switch is two switches in one. ON a standard strat, one side is used to select the pickups and the other to send the signal to the chosen tone controls. Use a meter to find which contact is which. I have seen far-eastern switches that are built the exact opposite of American ones. Use a standard wiring diagram with them and nothing works! Hope that helps Melvyn Hiscock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
