Does your stock guitar give you these incredible benefits?
It's like having dozens of different guitars rolled into one to give you a guaranteed arsenal of more pickup tones.
You get snappy highs, snarly mids, chime, Tele twang, Fat metal and more.
This upgrade gives you independent control of each pickup to turn them On in Parallel, and in either normal-phase or reverse-phase.
This upgrade also lets you put pickups together in Series for added girth and a bump in output to highlight those riff passages or put greater focus on that killer solo. You will have pickup tones so "Fat", they're Obese!
After installing the upgrade, this will be the only guitar you will find yourself taking out of the rack.
We solved your inadequate pickup switch problem to give you the most Powerful and Versatile Pickup Switch upgrades. A-list players call us their "Holy Grail" of more pickup tones.
You get these benefits with our products.
You know this is true: "Cheap things aren't good, but good things aren't cheap."
Now you know what you are paying for.
You can do the following things with this guitar:
This upgrade gives you those Brian May (guitarist for Queen) "red special" pickup sounds because you can instantly put any two or all three pickups into series. And when you put two select pickups in series, you can turn on the remaining pickup in parallel (either in normal-phase or reverse-phase) and this is something even Brian May's red special guitar cannot do. This upgrade will give you incredible pickup tones that are so "Fat" they're OBESE!
Here are the simple steps to install this product.
Here is how you use our T4-Switch.
It gives you two groups of three mini switches. One group controls each of the Bridge pickup coils, letting you turn each one On (either in normal phase and reverse phase) and Off with all combinations in either a Parallel or Series circuit. The other group controls each of the Neck pickup coils, letting you turn each one On (either in normal phase and reverse phase) and Off with all combinations in either a Parallel or Series circuit.

There are really two "groups" of switches:
(SW1, S5B, SW2) -and- (SW3, S5N, SW4)
(control bridge coils) (control neck coils)
Here is how the switches are used:
Switches SW1, SW2, SW3 and SW4 are ON-OFF-ON switches used to turn an individual pickup coil Off and On. The middle position of each switch is Off. The down position turns the pickup On (in normal-phase) and the Up position turns the pickup On (in reverse-phase).
Switches S5B and S5N are ON-ON (a.k.a. ON-NONE-ON) switches that are used to put the two pickup coils into a Series circuit when in the Up position. When Down, the pickup coils are in a Parallel circuit. Pretty simple, don't you agree?
Here are two things you must remember when putting pickup coils into a Series circuit:
First, putting two pickup coils in Series circuit creates a "Compound" (i.e., Humbucker) pickup that gives you about 8 to 15 percent More output (think Heavy Metal/Jazz tone).
Second, because the pickup coils are in a Series circuit, BOTH of the affected pickup coils that are in a Series circuit MUST be On (either in normal-phase or reverse-phase). Any non-Series circuit pickup coil can be either Off or On (either in normal-phase or reverse-phase).
What Each Switch Controls
Switch SW1: Turns on pickup coil #1 (down is normal-phase, up is reverse-phase, center is Off.)
Switch S5B: Puts both coils #1 and #2 into a Series circuit when Up. Both pickup coils MUST be On.
Switch SW2: Turns on pickup coil #2 (down is normal-phase, up is reverse-phase, center is Off.)
Switch SW3: Turns on pickup coil #3 (down is normal-phase, up is reverse-phase, center is Off.)
Switch S5N: Puts both coils #3 and #4 into a Series circuit when Up. Both pickup coils MUST be On.
Switch SW4: Turns on pickup coil #4 (down is normal-phase, up is reverse-phase, center is Off.)
The various combinations of all of these switches will give you 68 pickup tones.
