Attention Weirdy and other electronic gurus!!

The boss let me order one on our account, and I'll fix him up for it once it arrives.
Ideally it will arrive tomorrow, but I doubt that will happen. I haven't received a shipping update of the item yet.

One of my mates had a problem with the switch in his LP Supreme and ordered a genuine replacement from Gibson which was intermittently faulty on installation.

Local music shop installed a no name one and it's been good ever since

Looks like my switch has been shipped. Hopefully it will arrive today at work before we knock off.

Looks like my switch has been shipped, and according to tracking is on board for delivery today. Hopefully it will arrive today at work before we knock off at lunch time, otherwise I have to stick around for it!

Switch has arrived, and we have just tested it.
I can confirm we have a type two switch!

Nice! As per my previous post, just swap the red and white pickup wires from how they're drawn on the switch in my diagram and you should be good to go. Shout if you need any help.

Thanks bud, appreciate all the help you and everyone else has provided!

Sorry to throw another spanner in the works Weirdy, but I had to get another 5-way switch. Oddly enough, these switches do not handle being driven over by the wifes car when left in the middle of the shed floor accidentally.
This morning I rang both music shops within 20mins of my place, and while both shops had them in stock, one wanted $10.95, the other wanted $30!!
So I grabbed the cheaper switch, and a new set of strings for a grand total of $23!
The issue I have now though is the design of the switch is different, and I'll need guidance on how to wire it up.




Thanks in advance.

If you can't look after your toys you'll just have to learn to do without...



So, from the above, when the lever is at the right side of the image it's bridge active, and when it's at the left it's neck active.

I get the idiot award for a couple of days!!
Thanks again mate, but where do the ground wires go? On the original diagram the two grounds from the neck and bridge pups went to a spot on the left of the switch, and another ground wire went from the volume pot to the right side of the switch.
