Using a "fader" instead of 3-position switch?

I am laying out the switches for my first project, and there is one thing that I would like to do: instead of havine a 3-position switch the selects between neck / neck+bridge / bridge pickups, I would like to have a rotary switch that goes from just the neck pickup to just the bridge pickup, with varying degrees of mix in between.

Do guitar-parts companies sell switches for this purpose?

If so, what nomenclature is used for this type of rotary switch?

If not, is this a bad idea?

Yes, I'm stupid. But I'm really good with wood.

That's exactly what I needed to know.

I read about a "blend pot" in the tutorials, but it looked like it was wired after the selector switch... and I was wondering if it could be used instead. That Stew-Mac link helped to answer several questions.

Thanks!
