Hi folks new member here. Got my first Left handed Silouette special on Friday (used model off ebay h/s/s model).Plugged it in and everything seemed fine.Plugged it in again Sat morning and the Humbucker didn't work.After a bit of elimination I got it down to the selector switch.Being a strat owner for many years I'm quiet familiar with 5 way switches but the wiring in my Silouette I can't seem to work out. After a bit of squeezing in of the switch terminals the humbucker now works but the middle pick up position gives me the neck pick up and a coil of the humbucker!!!
Can anyone help in the from of a switch wiring diagram or explaination? With a bit of understanding of what goes where I'm sure I can sort the switch out or replace it. Thanks.
