Oak-Grigsby Lever Switch, 5-Way (2-Pole Superswitch)
BE ADVISED......most references to superswitches will refer to 4-pole switches, not this 2-pole switch. We sell the 4-pole switches as well, so be sure you know which you need. If any doubt, contact us and we'll help you out. This Oak-Grigsby 2-pole superswitch is very useful for certain wiring. It's most often used in a Nashville Tele (Tele with a Strat pickup added in the middle), but can be used in a Strat-style guitar that has a master tone control (a 2-control guitar, like an Ibanez or Suhr), where the Nashville Tele's pickup selection is desired: Position 5: neckPosition 4: neck + middlePosition 3: neck + bridgePosition 2: bridge + middlePosition 1: bridge In order to achieve the wiring above, both of the switch's poles are used. So there is no pole available to make tone control assignments, hence the requirement for a master tone control that is fed from the volume pot, rather than from the switch. Essentially this wiring marries the 1/2/4/5 positions of a Strat with the middle
