    Default iring diagram with right angle toggle switch

    Hey guys,

    I'm wiring up a project I'm building using this diagram

    http://www.seymourduncan.com/support...2ts_2v_2t_phsp

    And this right angle switch
    http://www.guitarparts.co.nz/cart/De...=603&category=

    Problem is that the switch in the diagram doesn't look like the switch I'm using. I need to know what wires need to go onto what contacts on the switch. Could some one please help me on this

    Thanks in advance

    The right angled switch has the same configuration, but the 'wafer' section is on the right angled part. If you have a look closely at the metal plates you will see that the switch actually 'de-connects' a pickup by breaking the connection. The pickups will get soldered to the outer lugs, and there will be two inner lugs you squeeze together and connect to the output jack.

    Thanks a heap. So there are four lugs which need soldering, you've explained the two pickup lugs and the output jack lugs (which i'll count as one). That just leaves the one lug which is soldered to a wire coming off the neck tone pot. I'm assuming that's the thicker lug located between the pickup lugs, as its the only one left.... right?

    Yep. That grounds the frame of the switch. Probably not necessary unless the switch is touching some shielding that the other wiring isn't.
