Fender Jazzmaster 3 Way Rotary Switch Mod

Post by cvalona » Wed Aug 14, 2013 2:25 pm

Hello, I'm new this forum, but happy to be here.

Can somebody PLEASE tell me, hopefully using real laymans/street instructions how
to wire a 3 way Rotary Switch in place of the 3 way toggle switch that comes standard
in my Fender Classic Players Jazzmaster solid body guitar.

A totally cool easy to follow diagram would be so appreciated.

I believe I have the correct switch - it's the same 3 way switch that PRS uses in some
models of his guitars from what I was told.

Thanks in advance, hope to here from somebody soon.

peace & kindness, charles

If you have the right pickguard, it should fit nice, and if you've got a 3 way rotary, it should wire like a strat in the bridge and neck positions, but since there is no middle pickup, I'm a little unsure on how to connect both pups to the middle position.

But, finding a diagram on a 3 way selector for a strat is easy, so you can at least get started, until a wiring pro can come along and help you finish.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help!
