Wiring Options with the Fishman Switchjack

The Switchjack T-R-S-S (Tip/Ring/Sleeve/Switch) stereo switching endpin jack
allows simultaneous stereo operation and battery switching for active pickups. This
new configuration simplifies stereo wiring with many pickup combinations that were
once incompatible. 

To gain better access to the Tip, Ring and Switch terminals, gently bend back the
Strain Relief/Sleeve tab, before you begin to solder.
