S-500 switching

Post by Bluesmann7 »

Hi,
I have an S-500 signiture with a mini toggle. Is that for series-parallel wireing and if so is that how you obtain the single coil-humbucking sound? Also what are the combinations with the pickup switch?
Thanks,
Blues Mann

The mini-toggle is called the expander switch. See this post for details: What is the expander switch used on many of the models?

Here's a pictorial of the S-500 controls:

Hope this helps.
