well it does not effect the strings electronically. however. each pickup depending on its position on the guitar is designed to pick up a specific range of tones. the pickup closes to the neck is meant to pick up the bass range whereas the one closest to the bridge is meant to pick up the treble(higher) end of the tonal spectrum. all that aside when you actually move the switch it might have a reverberation throughout your guitar because the switch is just really hard or stiff. it might need to be broken in no worries there.

What do the pickups on an electric guitar make?
~ The placement of pickups generate different sounds. The pickup closest to the neck (fretboard) will give you a deeper, bass sound. The pickup closest to the Bridge will give you a brighter, more treble of a sound. Electric Guitars have one to 3 pickups depending on the manufactures design and the tone they are trying to produce. Pickups also vary in sound depending on the construction of the pickup. The composite and size of the wire, along with the amount of turns (The full number of wraps around) produce a lighter or heavier sound. The potentiometers (volume and tone pots) used also have a tone quality to the over-all sound the pickup produces. ~ Pickup Switch Switch set to Treble, uses the pickup closest to the Bridge. While the switch set to Rhythm, uses the pickup closest to the neck. The switch should follow the direction of the placement of the pickups. Whether it's a 2 or 3 pickup guitar, the switch works from neck to bridge, controlling one or more of the pickups. 2 Pickup guitar ~ A Two pickup guitar will have a 3-way switch. The Rhythm position, up or towards the neck position, controls only the neck pickup. Moving the switch to the next position, middle, controls both the neck and bridge pickups. Moving the switch to the Treble position, down or towards the bridge, controls only the bridge pickup. 3 Pickup guitar ~ A Three pickup guitar should use a 5-way switch which works similar to the 3-way switch, except it allows the control of the middle pickup. The switch has 5 positions. Starting at the Bridge pickup, is position 1, (switch towards the bridge) the bridge pickup is the only pickup on , and working the neck pickup, is position 5, (switch is towards the neck) the neck pickup is the only one on. The 3rd position (switch is in the middle position) is working the middle pickup only, as it would be the only one on. Switch positions 2 an 4 work both pickups to either side. Position 2 works both the bridge and middle pickup, while position 4 works both the middle and neck pickup.
What is the switch on electric guitar in the top left corner like you see on Slash's guitar for?
All electric guitars have this switch but it varies from guitar to guitar. it is called the pickup selector switch. It is used for deciding on which pickup to use on the guitar. On a les paul style guitar it can be used to select the neck (traditionally rythm pickup), bridge (traditionally used for lead) and both pickups together. =================== That's what it is on a normal Gibson Les Paul. But on a Gibson Les Paul BFG, that is a "kill" switch that turns the guitar off completely. On many Gretsches, the toggle switch is a tone switch flipping between bassier and more trebly sounds. On most Fenders, that switch is down on the lower bout by the volume/tone controls (but on a Telecaster Deluxe, the switch is where it'd be on a Les Paul). Then there are oddities like the Italia Rimini, which has no pickup selector switch -- just individual volume controls for the two pickups. Every guitar has a different design. You'd have to look into every model.

Why does the tone of a guitar change when you switch through different pickups?
The tone of a guitar changes as you switch through from lower down pickups to higher up pickups because the guitar strings themselves sound different depending on how close to the center (deep, mellow tones) or to the end (harsh, high-pitched tones with little bass) you strike the strings. This is directly related to the strings vibrating with more side-to-side movement in the middle than they can near the saddle where the grooves in the saddle restrain side-to-side movement.

How do you install an emg pickup on a guitar but the guitar has one pickup only?
through a guitar with passive pickups , take out the old pots (things under the knobs in the guitar) , take out the old input jack and replace them all with the new active pickup ones. After words put in all the new stuff, connect the pickups and you're done. I recommend the X series ones as they are a lot easier to do, plus once their in properly you can switch them any time you want. If its hard just pay the 50-100$ for a guitar tech to do it. Craigslist has some cheap ones.
Electric guitar what are the switch for?
On an electric guitar, the switches primarily control the pickup selection and tone settings. The most common switch is the pickup selector, which allows the player to choose between different pickups for varying tones.

These controls enable musicians to customize their sound for different styles and preferences.
