For those who can see the pics:
I have a body and 8-hole loaded pickguard with SCN pickups and a push-pull pot in the nominally middle tone position, that alters pickup combinations.
Can anyone tell me more about the switching protocol? It's attached to a pine body with a narrow (2 1/8") pocket with a "C" stamped into it.
Any information greatly appreciated.

Is that a ten-way "superswitch"?
How about the volume control -- is it the S-1 type with a push button switch in the center?

Nope, volume pot is normal 250k.Originally Posted by phantomman
I think you'll need to break out a DVM and trace each run individually to see how that push-pull pot affects the pickup configuration.

If I can find a neck with a narrow heel, I'll just put it together and play it.
It might make more sense to chamfer out the pocket to accommodate a standard Fender-sized neck.
What about the neck plate -- a standard size?

Can't really tell what wires are going where, and a meter will tell you for sure. But I'd imagine it's either a phase switch or to turn on all the pickups. You can also hook up the guard to an amp temporarily and tap on them pickups with a screwdriver while adjusting the controls and you should be able to hear what everything does. That's the simplest way to check it, all you'll need is a couple jumper wires.
Do you understand wiring diagrams? If so, you could also trace out the wire runs and then figure out what it does. Or, you could trace it out and post it here. I could suss it out, as well as some other guys on here.

Thanks, all, it is a series/parallel switching rig. I'll post up a schematic later.
