Wiring a ES-1GT

[pedro]

Thanks Brendan, I have checked the switch with my multimeter and it would appear to be faulty, I have checked with guitar parts suppliers who have come up with LP or Gibson three way switches which bear no resemblance to the one supplied, (in fact they are much larger and longer and have different contact points) and at $45 I am not prepared to take the risk without checking with you.

Maybe I can buy a replacement switch from PB or Dingobass

Regards,

Peter

Pete - that does sound steep.

I'd suggest sending DB an email at dingobass@pitbullguitars.com. He may have a spare floating around (or at least be able to scrounge one up for you).

Last option - have you tried RealParts.com.au? Maybe - http://www.realparts.com.au/electron...le-switch.html ? Will still set you back ~$20 odd with postage, but certainly better than $45.

Pete - just sent DB an email and link to the thread - hopefully he'll be along soon and get back to you.

Pedro, I will have a new switch in the mail to you tomorrow...
Thanks Brendan

[Brendan]

Love it when a plan comes together! Thanks DB!
