the switch is the last thing in line before the output jack, and yes it is a spring loaded momentary switch, so you can do all the stuttering madness you want with any pickup setting.  it's not something i use a lot, but it is a cool idea.
cry HAVOC!! and let slip the pigs of war!!!

You can do the Morello/Rhoads/early EVH on/off easily with an LP just by turning the volume off on the neck pup and flicking the usual toggle.

Of course, but it's a bit easier to do that "stuttering madness" ( :D  8) ) with a momentary switch - plus it works on single-pickup guitars too.  Scott Ian had one on his first Jackson signature model, I think.

I was going to put one on my SG-X ages ago, but I couldn't find a decent quality switch.
