Hey there my name is Lee and I need some help.
I am building an Explorer Style guitar and need a little help with the pickup selector switch.
I have a standard 3 way selector, but as i don't switch pickups that often I want a mini toggle switch for a cleaner look. I have a 2 way DPDT switch that I would like to use. I dont use the middle option for both pickups, so can anyone tell me how to wire my on/on switch as a Neck/Bridge selector?
I am using two passive humbuckers, A 2 way DPDT for selecting, and a push/pull volume pot for coil splitting - No Tone.
Can anyone help me with the switch wiring please? Many thanks for any help

Strictly speaking you don't need to use both sides of the switch but it improves reliability for no penalty so it's daft not to.
Incidentally, if you ever do want the 'both' setting, replace the switch with an on-on-on 3-position one with the same wiring and it will work correctly.
