Recessed
Mini-Toggle Switches Pickup Switching Controls:
With tapped pickups
which are the heart of the Custom Quad 44-TPS
pickguard assembly you
have the ability to select between two different
output levels with each pickup. The tapped selection is
a lower output or a more vintage tone and then you
have the full output which is the maximum output
the pickup can produce. Each pickup in this
pickguard assembly is a tapped pickup and has
its own unique mini-toggle switch to alternate
between low output or full output. These
switches are numbered
2, 3 and
4 as depicted
below, with switch
number 2 for the neck pickup, switch number
3
for the middle pickup and switch number
4 for
the bridge pickup. When any of these
switches is in the down position the associated
pickup is in the "tapped" output mode or lower
output mode, when the switch is in the up
position the pickup is in full output mode.
Switch number
1 is to turn
on the neck pickup. This switch is not part of
the tapped selection mode it simply turns on the
neck pickup and includes it with what ever
pickups are selected with the 5-way switch.
It is to be used when the 5-way switch is in
position 1 which is for the Bridge pickup and
with mini-toggle switch
1
on you would then have the Bridge and Neck pickups
selected together which takes on the tone similar to a
Telecaster. It can also be used when the 5-way
switch is in position 2 which is for the Bridge
and Middle pickups selected together and then
with mini-toggle switch
1
on you would then have all three pickups selected
together.
The 5-way switch
will function normally as it does with any modern Strat® as follows:
1 - Bridge
2 - Bridge + Middle
3 - Middle
4 - Neck + Middle
5 - Neck
