Emg 3 Way Toggle Switch Wiring



Using an EMG three-way toggle switch to wire your electric guitar can open up a world of creative possibilities, allowing you to use pickups with different characteristics in different combinations to find the exact tone you’re looking for. This versatile solution is not only easy to install, but it's less expensive than buying a new guitar or replacing your pickups.

When you’re wiring an EMG three-way toggle switch, there are five main components: the input jack, the toggle switch itself, the pickup selector switch, the output jack, and the pickups. The first step is to make sure the input and output jacks are securely installed with shielded cables connected from the input jack to the toggle switch. Then, connect one end of the shielded cable to the ground terminals on each pickup. Next, move the pickup selector switch into position and connect the other end of the shielded cable to the toggle switch. Finally, connect the output jack to the toggle switch, and you’re finished!

Installing an EMG three-way toggle switch is a great way to give yourself more control over your guitar’s sound without breaking the bank. Even if you’re new to electric guitar modifications, following the step-by-step instructions makes this wiring job surprisingly simple. Using the EMG three-way toggle switch allows you to mix and match different pickups for a wide variety of sounds, making it one of the most effective tools for creating your own signature sound.
