Quick 5 way switch question


To take advantage of both the humbucker and single modes of a Dimarzio HS-2, what switch do I need to use? I believe I have read somewhere that the standard 5 way on an old RG550 doesn't allow for that wiring config?

Thanks!

Awesome! Where might I purchase one of these super switches? Does Dimarzio make one? I would post a link but I don't have enough posts. I just went to musicians.friend. dot com and searched for 5 way switch and one for $30 from Dimarzio looked to be the one

Thanks!

Re: Quick 5 way switch question


that dimarzio switch looks like the right one, but maybe some of these other guys can chime in to make sure.
this one is an actual fender super switch for $20 bucks with free shipping. dunno about the site or anything, just had a good price on it....

also, on a side note, i've been shopping for push pull volume pots, and they have 500ks for $8.99 with free shipping. nice.
