Here are a couple more shots of that front pickup you mentioned. It looks like in the first set of pics, the strings weren't up to tension and the picture isn't great.

Yes I stand corrected. My switches needed some exercise, but now work as you described. Thanks!

After replacing one of my trapezoid pickups in my triple neck D-8 I cannot seem to get the options I'm looking for. I am assuming that the 2 way switch either puts all pickups into single mode, OR puts all pickups together. I'm also assuming the 3-way Lever switch then selects pickups in the single...
