Thanks for any reply.

Deaf Eddie's site has a lot of stuff on it but I didn't notice this mod.

In other words:

"Standard" 5 pos switch, with the middle position selecting the Bridge and The Neck PU's only instead of the Middle only.

I'll check back, or just keep trying to come up with a mental image... I'm just low on film..

Thanks for any reply.

:)

It can't be done with a standard 5-way.

You can use a Superswitch (or "half-Superswitch"), or the Megaswitch E-model. These are sold by stewmac.com, allparts.com, guitarelectronics, etc.

If you swap the neck and mid pup hot leads on a standard 5-way, you'd get halfway there, but at the cost of one tone (bridge and mid) you now have:

1 - mid
2 - mid and neck
3 - neck
4 - neck and bridge
5 - bridge
