I can't tell from the photos how the lugs are arranged. When you get these, you may need to test them with a multimeter to figure out the switching logic, if it's not obvious visually.

yes i have them now, they're still too big for that guitar, so i may have to use a mini toggle? i have never use one... just want something for splitting the 2 humbuckers. this push pull has a "p" over one side of the 2 lugs and a "p" over the other 2. i think the advert said 2 pole, i have a multimeter but don't know what i'm looking for.  |

Well, if these won't fit, finding the connections with your meter is more of an academic exercise . . .
Any double pole toggle switch can be used in place of the push/pulls. Is the problem that the guitar is too shallow to accept a push/pull pot?
To check your switch with your meter, set it for resistance (Ω) and check each of the lugs to every other one. If the lugs aren't numbered, number them first so you can keep track. Check all with the switch pulled out, and then again with it in. Plot your results on a sheet of paper.
If two lugs are connected, you should see either "0" resistance or a very minimal reading. If the two aren't connected, you should see an "overlimit" reading, meaning (effectively) infinite resistance. This is an "L" on my meter, yours may vary.

well they'll fit one of my other guitars, but at 220k i'll perhaps use it as the tone pot and keep 500k for vol. then again i guess i'll do some fiddling around and see if i want to connect it for tone at all and just keep it for push pull. thanks for the meter tip...  |
