Add A 'Kill Switch' To An Electric Guitar

Hi, Obie here. Inspired by Buckethead, Riley and I added a kill switch to an electric guitar. We made a few mistakes along the way, but it turned out okay and we had a good time. Disclaimer: We are not electronics experts and this video does not constitute 'advice'. It is solely for entertainment.

I really like the kill switch sound but I'm not sure about doing this because my guitar is really expensive and I don't want to risk making a mistake. So if I took my guitar to a guitar shop, would they do me up with one?

I can translate into Spanish the steps you did to put the killswich ... Answer me please

[MatKiller1197]

[ColliniPro]

what does the killswitch do in a guitar??

This isn't short circuiting, this is creating an open circuit when the switch is pressed since there is then infinite resistance between the switch nodes. Their method may have caused buzz when the switch was pressed, what you should do is get a 3 node selection switch and dump the depressed selection to ground.
