ABSTRACT:
A guitar pickup switching system has a single-coil treble pickup, a single-coil middle pickup, and a single-coil rhythm pickup for an electric guitar. A switch arrangement allows the guitar player to select outputs of the pickups in any one of the following seven combinations: treble pickup output alone, treble pickup output plus middle pickup output, middle pickup output alone, middle pickup output plus rhythm pickup output, rhythm pickup output alone, treble pickup output plus rhythm pickup output, and treble pickup output plus middle pickup output plus rhythm pickup output. Two volume controls enable the player to vary the blend of treble pickup output and middle and rhythm pickup outputs provided from the switching system.
