Taylorplayer Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 To all - First of all, as a relative "newbie" here I want to say Thank You for the help thus far - it has been much appreciated! Here's my next question: I'm having problems with a 3 way toggle switch on a 1964 Epiphone Crestwood Deluxe. The switch works in the middle position, and it works when I flip it to the right. When I flip it to the left it doesn't work (no sound). The guitar has three humbuckers, 2 volume and 2 tone pots. Can you direct me to a diagram that I can refer to - to see which legs are suppposed to make contact for each of the three positions? I should then be able to adjust them accordingly. I have been searching the net, but no luck so far. I would really appreciate any help you can offer. Thank you in advance ~ Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyer91 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Hi Will, I can't find any diagrams for your '64, but I would add that (as I'm sure you know) that's a fairly rare guitar, so if some Deox contact cleaner doesn't get you going, I'd be inclined to take it to a luthier ... or maybe even just a electronic technician, to have them wring out the wiring for you. Hopefully it's just a dirty contact ... and you'll be up and running proper like in no time. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Scales Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 hi Will. I agree with F91 - that guitar's worth a few thousand dollars so $50 and 10 minutes at the local luthier/tech would be my preference. one of my favourite guitars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPS1976 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 you may also look into searching for schematics for a Black Beauty. it's also 3 pickup and I would imagine that they are wired the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
