Casio MG-500 2nd toggle switch next to Humbucking/Single switch

[David Messenger]

Cool, does it look factory inside?

It's a coil tap and works very well in changing from jangly Strat to
beefy humbuckler. There is also a slight boost in volume so it can
work as a solo switch on a clean, slightly crunchy sound.

Yah, doubtful there would be a Coil tap on a factory Casio mag PU.
It's probably only a 2 wire PU.

Could be a Coil tap or Phase switch...
Yeah, phase switch is my guess . . . I'll find out tomorrow when the
one I bought arrives!!! The seller said nothing about a mod, but I
noticed while inspecting the photos this eve that it certainly has a
second toggle there.

Totally factory. I have the MG 500 which i bought new and i also had the MG 510 and it also had the coil tap. It always surprised me that my PG 310 doesn’t have the coil tap, and yet has the on board MIDI sounds and the sound card slot.

The microswitch betwen the volume and tone control is to conmuting
humbucking/single coil treble pickup. May be the 2nd toggle switch of
the feed is a handmade for other humbucking/single coil or for another
question. But I think this is not a standard. The Casio MG500 and 510
use one switch only for the treble pickup. The central pickup and the
rythm pickup are always single coil. My guitar is a Casio MG 510, only
different to MG 500 in the stratocaster form of body of the 510 , versus
the form of firebird of the 500. Greetings and good music.
