Hoping that Weirdbits or other knowledgeable forum members can help me out with this.

Only my 2 Teles I used Oak Grigsby 4 way switches and as they are quite deep I have never seemed to get them to work properly. I guess that once wires are bent all over the place to make things fit the connections don't survive, hence why not all positions work???

Anyways, I saw this on the internet and keen to give it a try using an Import Box style 5 way switch that comes with 8 lugs, like this one....

Here is the link to what inspired me..... https://www.premierguitar.com/articl...-parallel-mods

The only issue is this article refers to a totally different type of switch and struggling to figure how to do the same on an 8 lug import box switch? Nothing seems to identify a lug or tab that goes to ground and not sure if this is relevant or important in trying to achieve what this article suggests can be done.

This guy also has an interesting Series mod using existing 3 way switch and keen to know how to do that using the standard Import Box switch that comes with kits.....here is the link to that..... https://www.premierguitar.com/articl...-series-wiring

And finally, this guy also made some suggestions about modding 2 wire pickups to 3 wire to allow for future modifications. I have already done this on Neck Pickup for the 4 way switch mod and wondering if it is necessary or makes any difference on Bridge pickup? .....https://www.premierguitar.com/articl...or_Future_Mods

Thanking you in advance.
