Japanese Guitar Wiring

Post by pallittor1 » Sat Jan 14, 2017 4:35 pm

Hello all! First time on here so any help is much appreciated. I am trying to fix up my father's old Japanese Guitar. I saw a similar post on here, but the things were all made so differently at the time, its hard to compare exactly. My model has two slide switches on the top left and one smaller slide switch on the right. My question is can I use a toggle instead of the smaller slider if it will fit through the pickguard hole. I am also wondering if anyone can provide me with a wiring diagram to setting this up. I tested the pickups and they read around 5.0 ohms, which i assume should be good for minimum output. The pic below shows the guitar pretty much gutted except for the pickups that i just laid back in there to get a before picture. Thank you in advance!

If it is a mini toggle, this wiring might work. The black wires are the ones you solder. The red lines just show what is contacting when the switch position changes.
