PUP selector on Ric 370-12

Post by dph »

I just pulled the trigger on a used 370-12 that I found for a pretty great price, and it occurred to me that I don't have a clue how the pup selector works with three pickups. Is it wired like a strat? It seems like it would make sense to have a 3 way switch wired for Bridge/Bridge-Middle/Middle-Neck.

Can anyone give me the skinny?

I don't expect it to arrive until next week.

Uhm, isn't it, top position is middle and neck, center position is all three, down position is bridge only?

Thanks guys, looking forward to playing the guitar. So it sounds like there are some real tonal differences between the 360 & 370? I've only owned 330s in the past and love everything about them, but am looking forward to giving its sibling a go.

If you find the stock selector somewhat limited, there are a number of different wiring options available, if you are handy with a soldering iron (or know someone who is). There will probably be several forumites, posting on this thread, able to answer any questions you may have.
