I have searched and searched but I cannot find the right combinations of words to locate a topic that describes the functions of the three mini switches on the '86 Invader. Found the F-100 and just about everything else but not that topic. Could someone post a link that addresses what these are supposed to do. It seems that the third switch (furthest from the nut) cuts the guitar off completely depending on the position of the other two. This does not seem right.
Thanks, Tom

Re: Mini Switch Function
They are simply pickup selector switches, wired parallel(up on,down off).
I'm guessing your 'kill switch' experience is due to the others being off also.
Do all the pickups work separately? (only one switch up).

Re: Mini Switch Function
That makes sense. It's put away for now but I did check my other Invader and it does the same thing so I must have only noticed it while the other switches were off too. Funny, I would think that I would have found the same thing with the other switches while the remaining two switches were off. I thought there was an out of phase switch like the F-100 has.
Thanks Elwood.
