LEVITON WIRELESS 3 WAY SWITCH

Before explaining the 5 "tones" of the T5, its worth mentioning that there are 3 pickups in the guitar. One is a stacked humbucker underneath the neck, the visisble stacked humbucker, and a high-frequency body sensor inside the guitar.

The T5's 5-way switch toggles between these 5 modes:

1. Acoustic - by enabling special, extra sensitive body sensor (for the highs) and the neck pickup hidden (for the "body").
2. Neck humbucker all by itself - similar to the first, but without the body sensor; you get a warmer-rounder tone.
3. Bridge humbucker all by itself - this already is basically how an regular electric guitar would sound.
4. Neck and bridge pickups in parallel.
5. Neck and bride pickups in series.

The two last positions are just a matter of "voicing." Suffice to say, the 5th is the fullest fattest sound. Of course there are also uses for the 4th. Personally, the 4th for me is great for getting the "a more defined, less rounded sound" which is useful for making rhythm tracks "cut through the mix" - as opposed to the "fat full" sound of the 5th which is useful for solos or uber heavy rhythm tracks.

There are indeed uses for all positions.

I saw a 4 way switch in a new house and did not know, at first, how this could be accomplished with standard switches. This schematic came to me in a dream (almost). "How many other dreams have died in the dark"?
