Josnor Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 (edited) Hi Im new to this forum and to building guitars. i am building a les paul and have stripped down an old aldr wood body with set neck and am just wondering out what switch i can use. i want the toggle switch to be fully metal with no plastic tip. im just wondring if 10A Toggle SPDT B s here would work as it seems to have 1 less solder point than the switch in my SG Thanks for helping Joe Edited June 1, 2010 by Josnor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 If you're using a SPDT ON-ON-ON switch, it should work like a normal LP switch (assuming you wire it correctly). If it is ON-OFF-ON, you will have no combined pickup option, and switch in center position will cut all signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
