OCD question

maltingsaudio

The girlfriend is just as mad about guitars as I am which is great. So in the interests of making the house friendlier we've hung four guitars on the wall going up the stairs. Problem is as they all have 5 way selectors (Ibanez RS540ltd Musicman Silhouette and Two Custom Strats ) what position should the selector switches be in?

Which ever position they are in they will snag you at some point.

You need to add one more guitar and then have them ascending as you climb the stairs, obv!

All on neck bucker,  the best setting for  any guitar

Bridge position because all the others are just for show

From the types of guitars you have I'm presuming they all have humbuckers, in which case it's the bridge position.

that's not an OCD question that's a GUITAR question.......you posted fred in the wrong place

Have them all on bridge or neck  and each time you go up or down the stairs switch pickups.

Now that would be an OCD!

Hang on, first what colours are we talking about here?

They should all be parked in the centre position. This gives a subliminal message of center parcs. You may also wish to hang a guitar on your back door to reinforce the message.

Do you think I don't do that?

Gibson toggles should always be left in the middle position to prolong the life of the switch.
blades don't matter as much, so obviously go with the bridge position

Bridge!

Bridge.

OK take it to the bridge.

Strats and Strat-a-likes should always be parked with the selector in the bridge position - same as Teles. Les Pauls should always be parked in the middle position.

Don't they teach this in schools?
