As Master Kay said, the answer will depend on the switch.

In my limited experience, 3-way switches come in variations from 3 to 8 lugs...this is important when determining final wiring.

  Well, zero out of 4 ain't bad :-)

    But dry is good. :-)

  Master Kay? I may look like a monocle-toting aristocrat, and I may sound like one, but does that make me one?
  
  Maybe :-)

    (At your age a monocle would be an affection!)

      Summer home? I wish... our summer house is just a shed with windows!

        Ah, I see, 'round here when someone says "house" it means square footage with all the amenities, plumbing, electricity, HVAC etc. :-)

Which switch was it John? They do a couple.

The basic one ($3.99) actually has a wiring diagram on the Gitty website (one of the product pictures)

There will be hundreds of wiring diagrams for the Gibson style switch on Google images

Weirdly I posted a similar question yesterday, but for a different kind of switch:

Hope this helps.
