The Advanced Pickup Switch is a lever-style switch that will allow any guitarist, with a minimal amount of technical skill, to alter the pickup wiring configuration of their electric guitar for altering the tonal choices available without the need to manually hard-wire each connection. The tonal alterations are effected via rotationally and axially displaceable multi-layer printed circuit board (PCB) discs that contain pre-determined tracings for specific pickup coil configurations. These are attached to the outboard sides of the switch with a single screw, thereby allowing for complex wiring alterations with the use of a screwdriver alone. The lateral movement of the switch and corresponding axial displacement of the PCB's allows for the expansion of the number of combinations without the use of a secondary switch. A robust two-pronged resilient detent arm cooperates with gearage for providing a switch with the tactile feedback that is familiar and comfortable to guitarists worldwide. |
