Frequently asked questions
What do these two products do?
The 3 Position Toggle Switch selects between three pickup or circuit modes. The 500KA SPL is a potentiometer (volume or tone knob control) with a 500K ohm taper and split shaft, designed for left-handed players.
Can I use both together?
Yes. The toggle switch handles mode selection, while the potentiometer handles volume or tone adjustment — they control different functions in a guitar's wiring harness.
Do these work with solderless EMG wiring systems?
The toggle switch is explicitly designed for EMG solderless harnesses with BNOG connectors. The potentiometer's solderless compatibility depends on your specific EMG wiring kit; confirm before purchasing if you're building a fully solderless system.
Is the toggle switch suitable for beginners?
Yes — the solderless design makes installation tool-free and safe, ideal for DIY work at any skill level.
