Source for rotary switch for Electric XII

Post by elektrovac » Sat Nov 28, 2009 2:33 pm

I have trouble finding a rotary pickup switch like the one in an Elctric XII.

Does anyone here know who sells one?

It's actually not for a XII but for a Duo-Sonic II project I am planning. I want to omit the Mustang slide switches and the tone control, and put the rotary pickup switch in the tone control's position at the metal control plate...

On other word a 3-way rotary switch would be just as good - or better.

Here's a three way/4 pole one.

The EXII had a rotary similar to a 4 way/3 pole though.

:)
Someone knows where I can find the nearest woodchipper to throw my pieces of junk into?

Thanks a bunch, older brother!

I bought the switch at your eBay link.

Now, does anybody have a schematic for wiring this 4-pole 3-way rotary switch for a standard 3-way pickup switching (bridge/bridge+neck parallel/neck)?

Cheers!
