Hopefully this will be a long running collection of easy to view diagrams of CBG picup wiring. If you have a NEW or unique diagram please post it here. PLEASE, if you reply to a post with a picture already in it, please remove the pic as to not duplicate the original. Saves electrons that way [he he]
I'll go first.

sorry, just going through the schem, and noticed the 5-way is drawn a little wrong. should look like this...too busy concentrating on all those wires...
an old thread i know, but a good idea as an ongoing resourse, and it looks like it's still active.
so here's the schematic of my most recent build. it's a bit more complicated than most here so far, and was quite a challenge to cram into the box neatly, but it works really well, and the tonal range just switching pups is really broad.
Thanks for your reply. I did some digging around on the internet and some trial and error and got it to work for three pickups. First position plays pickup 1, 2nd position plays 1 and 2, 3rd position plays 2, 4th plays 2 and 3, 5th plays 3.

Tim,
I noticed no one has yet relied to your query. That looks like a version of a Strat 5-way pickup selector switch. Here's a 3-part article from Premier Guitar that discusses 5-way switch operation and wiring that may be of some use:

I came across this switch and wanted to try to use it in a cbg I'm building. Could someone explain to me how to wire this up? Can I use three different piezos wired to this so they can be played individually?

Found this on the web if its any use

Here are some pics. Pickup #1 is mounted in the bridge on top of resonator, #2 is near the neck and #3 is near the tailpiece.

You should be able to, no reason it shouldnt work.. - I havent tried that yet..let us know how it works out :-)
Lil help please!
Looking to do something similar to the diagram above using a piezo instead of 2 pups.
Mag pup (Harrison)--piezo--3 way--volume--jack.
Can I replace the second pup in the diagram above (the bottom one in this case) with a piezo?
Any input or tips about using this configuration would be much appreciated. Pros and cons?
