Title: Phase reversal button - Jimmy Page style(ish)
Post by: Will on December 07, 2008, 06:27:12 PM

I have my old Gibson which has two mini switches.
One splits each coil, however I want to revert the original switch back to master coil tap, and add a push button in the spare slot to put the two pickups out of phase with each other.

After looking into it, I think I want a: DPDT push push on/on latching mini button - any advice as to where I could find one of these, if not, what are my options?

I assume I could do this with 3 conductor wire? (hot - coil short wire - ground)

Thanks

Is this the right kind of thing?

Ok, so... people don't want to answer that type of question.

IF it were to be a push pull, that would be DPDT? Other than that, I think I am sure, would just like some comfirmation here.

Thanks... In advance ;)

Wish I could help mate, but electronics ain't my thing.  I would try over at the Project guitar forum as they have some good electronics people over there that could probably help.

this is the closest i can find:

on that the switches are attached to the pots  as push/pull pots but that doesnt really matter as long as you use two DPDT switches

Thanks, looks do-able with my 3core wire, and the type of switch looks similar.

I think it would be cooler with dual buttons, just hit it and it changes.
Those ones look like they would fit under the pickguard JP style, and I am sure it will be easy to find some normal button types
