Small request for Guthrie Govan Charvel owners

[Igor Paspalj]

Hi folks,

I hope someone who owns Guthrie Govan Charvel MK2 can help me with something

I have MKI version without coil split, and I would like to install mini switch like on mk2.

Thing is, i know how to wire it as normal coil split, but as I heard, Charvel guys use some resistor or capacitor along with the switch, so there's no output drop in single coil mode.

Now, if some of the owners of newer model could open cavity with electronics and let me know exactley whats happening, which resistor/capacitor they are using and how, i would really appreciate it

picture of the inside is also more then welcome

Thanks guys, hopefully someone will chime in
