I believe seymour duncan's website has a schematic.

I tried 'hunting' for schematics at seymour duncan's but no luck. lol thanks anyway! If only Tom Morello had schematics at his page!

wire your output to ground.... that's the basic idea of a killswitch.

Don't just cut the connection.

Note, there will be some switching noise when using the kill switch on clean - but people seldom do kill switch clean, they would use a Tremolo! - but the noise is neligible when on dirt.

Uh... what would u be using?

I use a momentary / non-latching button that when depressed, grounds the output. I find it easier to use than the 3-way and it allows for more rhythmic kill-switch-ing, since its a button. Just need to get used to it because people are usually accustomed to pressing a button and hearing sounds, not the other way round.

well i don't know yet. well there's only two types right? lol. I'm just asking around for ideas. I'll get one of my friends to do it for me..If i feel comfortable-I HAVE NEVER DONE MODs ON GUITARS BEFORE!!

I feel super rejected when i go to forums and not understand most of the things i read.

Don't say that!
Being a "housewife" is the worst thing on the planet. It's the hardest work you can do.

[soothsayer]

[sick-boy]
