I was thinking...
Can I use use regular on-off-on tumbler for electric guitar ?
I think it's no difference for electric guitar what potentiometer. Only difference is
resistance and linear or logarithmic. Guitar is mono. It's hard do get for me electric guitar electronics.
I can get easily pickups from any guitar store. Sepcial electronics made for guitar is more expensive.

Note in the above on/off wiring they are using on/on switches with one on to earth to cut down hum I guess.

And wire 1 pickup across the top 2 lugs 1 across the botomm 2 lugs and the middle 2 are wired to the output

These are generally more expensive than a normal guitar 3 way.
Your other option would be an on/ off switch for each pickup
This is for 3pickups but gives you the idea

Simple on/off switches are really cheap.
I need a 3 way toggle switch to change guitar pickups. I would like to use 3 way tumbler toggle switch. 3 way tumblers are regularly on-off-on. My question is can I use it how I want ?
Pickups are passive not active.
it will work .. but i believe 3 way tumblers are (up = one channel on only ) - (mid = all off) (down =other channel on only) with this set up there would be no way to run both pups at the same time . .
you would need real 3 way ,, not a 2 way and an total off .
or convert the off position to all on .
but its early .. lol , and i went through this like 5 times in my head and am starting to confuse myself .
so maybe someone else can verify that .
I think a 100-ohm pot would function as an on-off switch, however, so that might be exactly what you want. :-)
yup you can use a regular toggle switch , hell even a light switch if ya want
