llihp Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Just hoping for a few tips. The toggle switch on my Les Paul has snapped and a I have bought a replacement which I was going to get fitted, but thought I'd have a crack at it myself. I've read a number of forum threads and watched a couple of Youtube vids and it seems fairly straightforward. I opened up the back of the guitar to take a look at how the existing one was wired and it looks different to the videos I've seen, mainly becuase the existing output lead (i think), is not soldered to the eyelet, but instead is soldered to the whole side of the switch (see pic). I'm just looking for some advice on how easy it will be to remove it, and if necessary how best to approach soldering the wire in the same place on the replacement switch.

steve@steveharr Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 the output is the white lead soldered to the 2 lugs joined together (middle 2 lugs on the right) i have done hundreds of these. 10 minute job. the wire soldered to the centre plate is the ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
