Need help with 5 way installation

Post by IcePick »

so i just took an esp/ltd mh-201 in on a trade and im realizing that im in too deep with this one and my biggest problem at this point is lack of funds to pay a professional to do the repairs i see necessary to this guitar. anyhow the old 5 way is busted off at the shaft and i have a new one but im not a wiring expert or anything else close for that matter. i have a new one but its set up different. so what am i asking? i know its unorthodox but i need someone who knows what theyre doing to help me get this guitar working again for free. help would be appreciated greatly!

If your new 5-way is similar to the existing (and it should be), just connect the wires to the same terminals on the new switch. It's helpful to label them before you disconnect from the old, just name them whatever makes sense to you (1, 2, 3... etc or bridge, neck, middle)
