In this drawing, the pickups are wired to the commons, <strong>and</strong> the switchable lugs are<br />
jumpered together <strong>and</strong> on to the output:<br />
You can see that the neck pup is connected to the output in two throws; the bridge pup is<br />
connected in two throws.<br />
NEXT:<br />
Here's a Strat, where they use one pole (one side) to select the pickups, <strong>and</strong> one pole to<br />
select the tone pots:<br />
On a Strat, the COMMONS are connected <strong>and</strong> routed to the volume pot. Because the<br />
commons are jumpered together, when the neck pup is selected, the neck tone pot is also<br />
in the circuit. The same goes for the middle pup.<br />
Remember, when this switch was first used, Strats also only had THREE throws, <strong>and</strong> Leo<br />
used the same switch in Strats <strong>and</strong> Teles.
