bsheen74 Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Is there a 3 way switch that actually kills the signal from a pickup? For example when I have the bridge humbucker only selected, if you tap on the neck pickup, you can hear the tapping. Or vice versa. All of my guitars do this, even the ones I've purchased.

curtisa Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 You're probably largely hearing the tapping sound of the deselected pickup being coupled acoustically back into the selected pickup, which a per-pickup kill circuit probably wouldn't do much to combat. With enough gain you'll hear yourself tapping on all parts of the guitar through any one pickup. That said, if you want to experiment with the concept, a 3-position 2-pole Tele-style blade switch can be wired to behave as a de-selected-pickup-signal-killer.. Wouldn't work with a Les Paul-style toggle switch though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
