My jazz electronics

[Phil R]

I'm trying to figure out why there are 2 - 3 way toggles on my archtop kit. the kit is a Chinese acoustic electric with 3 prewired pots and 2- 3 way toggles.

I assume one toggle is for pup selection. I don't know what the 2nd toggle is for. its a relatively inexpensive kit. The box is already predrilled.

I'll post a pic.

Any help would be appreciated.

You could use each to turn on a pickup and then split coil.

Are there enough holes? Otherwise maybe they just miscounted.

Install it, but don’t connect it to anything. When the bar / restaurant owner asks you to turn down, make a big show of flipping the switch “from high to low.”

You can always use a $0.25 black plastic hole-plug from the hardware store.
Or ream one out for a standard four-pot harness.

Coil tap, series / parallel, 'sweet' tap switch, fake 'demographic modulator' switch, mute switch, Buckethead 'stutter' button . . . the options are only limited by your imagination (and your soldering skill).

LOL. Session bassist Leland Sklar has this on one of his instruments, he calls it the "Producer's Switch". Whenever the producer asks him to change something about his tone, he makes an overt adjustment of this big toggle switch that doesn't do anything, and then carries on playing as before.

You really didn't give us much to go on. A link to the webpage describing the kit, a parts list, the promised but unposted photo, an instruction sheet, any of those would help.
