Hey all,

I'm a newb at guitar, I just bought a Fender Standard HSS guitar and I'm wondering what the settings are for my 5-way pickup selector. I couldnt find the information anywhere. I know the the selectors select which pickups to use but I'd like a little more information as to what exactly each setting does.

Any help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks

In general:

Pickup Switching 5-Position Blade:
Position 1. Bridge Pickup
Position 2. Bridge and Middle Pickup
Position 3. Middle Pickup
Position 4. Middle and Neck Pickup
Position 5. Neck Pickup

Position 5 is towards the neck.

You can find parts, wiring and switching diagrams on the Fender web site - just start at:

and find your instrument.

Typically, position 1(switch set all the way back pointing towards the bridge)engages your bridge pickup. 1 click forward of that gets both your bridge& middle pickup on. Click forward again and just the middle pickup is on. Another forward click and now the middle & neck pickup are on. The last forward click turns on just your neck pickup. Hope this helps...enjoy your Strat!
