Thank you all for the responses! It's so great to have a community like this. 

I will be experimenting with the different switch positions and my amp settings.  I was just wondering if there was any rule-of-thumb on how the switch was supposed to be used; and based on your responses, it sounds like its all based on what sound you're after.

Bootlegger, you're absolutley right.. I picked this guitar up really cheap because this is my first electric (i play acoustic) and I didn't want to invest $$$ not being sure if I would enjoy playing electric.  I read the reviews on the EVO, and most of the people highly recommended it for the price.  So far I'm having a blast! 

Thanks again to all!

Hello everyone!  This is my first post on this forum, although I have been reading it for some time.

I've been playing acoustic on and off for several years.  Just recently I got my first electric.  It's a Dean EVO.  Based on some reviews I read online, it's supposed to be a cheap but decent beginner's guitar. 

I belive this guitar is setup to be simiar to a Les Paul with twin humbuckers. 

My quesiton is what does the toggle switch do, and how do you use it?  So far, this is what I know: 1.) It switches between which pickups are active.  If it's in the middle position, both pickups are active.  If it's switched towards the bridge, the bridge pickup is active, and if it's switched towards the neck, the neck pickup is active.

Now the real question is when do you use the different pickups?

Thanks in advance for your help!
