Fender 3-Way Pickup Selector Switch

Fender 3-Way Pickup Selector Switch
The Fender 3-Way pickup selector switch positions.

This is the Fender Stratocaster vintage-style 3-way switch configuration. These selector switches will significantly contribute to distinguishing all of these wirings from one another. The core of this vintage-style configuration is that it features one selector position for each pickup. This wiring arrangement is among the most streamlined offered by the Fender Custom Shop, as each switch position and dial corresponds to a single control, with the bridge pickup providing no tone control whatsoever. Consider trying this style if you seek something refreshingly simple in your Custom Shop creation.
