Super Switch Connections 5 way 4 pole
This is about how Super Switch works. The diagram shows terminal connections and pin-out.
Its a 5-way, 4-pole, lever-action guitar pickup selector. If you will use a Super Switch in your axe, you will get 4 poles, where every lever position has got its own pin (5 + 1 common per pole).
If your guitar has got 2 or 3 pickups, you will get more than you need for just typical 5-way selector wiring. You will get a possibility to make some extra connections.
For example, with a super-switch, you can make a Stratocaster wiring with the bridge+neck position, or some coil split – if you have a 4-wire humbucker. Theres a lot of options.

Are You Learning Guitar the Right Way
Have you ever wondered if youre learning guitar the right way?
After working on playing guitar for a few months, a beginning guitar student will wonder if theres something he or she can be doing better so that they learn guitar the "right way." The first thing to keep in mind is that everyones tastes and goals are different, so you may want to start thinking instead in terms of learning the "right way for me."
The guitar is a very versatile instrument.
Since the guitar is so versatile, there are many approaches to teaching and learning. One of the first things you and your guitar teacher should do is have an interview to help you understand the different teaching methods and ways of getting started. The type of music you like, the equipment you own, your previous musical background, and the level of commitment will all be considerations. Its a good idea to think about these things before you set up your first lesson. Hint: "I just want to learn guitar, I want to learn songs," and other general statements Dont Help! Dig deeper and find what really would make you want to stick with learning guitar. Think about particular artists, bands and styles of music. The more details you can provide the better.
So, whats the right way to learn then?
Set goals, learn technique and remember that youre supposed to be having fun. If youve never played an instrument before youll have to develop a basic skill set to work from. Your guitar teacher will help you learn what tools youll need to play the style you like. For example, if you want to play rock guitar you need to work with using a pick, and you cant give up on it. Too many beginning guitarists get discouraged and think theyll find a short cut to learning. Believe me, it will catch up to you and youre not going to like relearning something.
