Cheapo Strat 5-way switch help!

Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello chaps.

 

A friend has asked me to fit some pickups on his cheapo strat.  He had a pop first, but let’s just say it didn’t go very well.  He’s under the illusion that I will fare better.

 

The guitar is fitted with a cheap looking 5 way switch, the likes of which I cannot locate a wiring diagram for.

 

Does anyone recognise it?  Or have a wiring diagram for it?  Or even a method for determining what wire goes where with a multimeter?

 

Thank you in advance!

I had a 3 way one of those in my Tele. They are horrible, not only in working out the connections, but in general operation. I just replaced it with a decent, open design switch. If your friend is unwilling to spend a few quid on a decent selector, try some Google images for what wire goes where. Sorry, best I can do.
