RG1570 Megaswitch P-Model...will it fit?


I am getting a new 1570 soon, it has 3 pickups h,s,h but I will probably not use the single coil.
I want to use 2 aftermarket humbuckers like Dimarzio.

This 5 way switch can do inner and outer coils as well so that is why I am interested in trying it with 2 humbuckers.

it should... Megaswitch's are about the same height as the stock 5-way.
I have the E-model in my 760.

Does the switch need to be wired up exactly they it is in the Megaswitch diagram?

It shows how everything needs to be connected, humbuckers, switch, volume and tone.

well, the diagram is the basis of how the switch works. Wire humbucker leads, ground and output to volume pot to the appropriate lug on the switch and you're set.

hmm maybe i should just a get a ym-30 switch and keep it simple.

so it would be bridge, bridge/neck, neck. I'll have to try and find a ym-30 switch somewheres .
