Minus Human the problem wasn't just that the switch was backwards, it was that I didn't know what the correct way was.

It is fixed and aok now.]]> Guitar Players Discussion curious_bob https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/my-pickup-switch-is-backwards/#post-105560 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/my-pickup-switch-is-backwards/#post-105428 Mon, 06 Jun 2005 09:56:42 +0000

Is this a common problem? I would have never known on my own. Should I watch out for this when buying (cheap) guitars?

Also, I couldn't really tell if tapping on the PUPs was doing anything.]]> Guitar Players Discussion curious_bob https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/my-pickup-switch-is-backwards/#post-105289 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/my-pickup-switch-is-backwards/#post-105288 Sat, 04 Jun 2005 20:46:22 +0000
As Nils describes, the switch position is physically indicative of the active pup(s) -- e.g., forward switch position is forward pup. It's easy to check this by tapping on the pups to hear which are on for each position.]]> Guitar Players Discussion gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/my-pickup-switch-is-backwards/#post-105288 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/my-pickup-switch-is-backwards/#post-105285 Sat, 04 Jun 2005 20:28:45 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Nils https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/my-pickup-switch-is-backwards/#post-105285
