Guitarfrenzy Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Have you checked out the ones that GuitarElectronics.com sells at this link link? You can buy a PRS kit that has all the electronics if you want. Also do a search at www.AllParts.com for Rotary Switch and you should find some there also.

lovekraft Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 You can install them "correctly" without any kind of special switch - they're just 4 conductor humbuckers. If you want the rotary switch and the same choices PRS offers, buy their switch package. You can get the same results from a 5-way Superswitch®, or you can wire them like any normal guitar and use mini-toggles or push-pull pots for coil splits - thee's no compelling reason to use the rotary switch.

MasterMinds Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 by rotary - you mean a selector that is a turning knob? if so, that's a neat idea as it takes less space than a long selector switch. if not, let me know as i never heard of it, thanks!

Kyle Cavanaugh Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 (edited) Six-ways are really easy to come by at electronics stores and such, but I'm sure if you search www.mouser.com, you'll find one. They've got it all. Shipping might cost more than the switch (I'm guessing $5-6 USD), if that's the case, I'd buy a couple, not to mention they've got bulk rates! By the way, you don't necessarily need the rotary switch to install them "correctly", it's all a matter of whether you want the added versitility or not.
