Super Switch
Fender made this type of switch, called the Super Switch. There were also switches out of Germany called Mega Switches, designed for a few different wiring options (users would choose which model they wanted. That I know of, these switches came in to use by Fender in the middle to late 90's, most notably, on the Power House model Stratocaster. That is a 2 humbucker model guitar, but with 5 tone variations. I apologize for my inaccuracy regarding the date that the 5 way blade switch was first used on production Fender guitars. As it turns out, it wasn't until the mid 70's that the 5-way switch was used.... and I just saw a video on the Troglodytes YouTube channel that Gibson used a 4 way blade type switch as early as the late 40’s. I don’t know who made it or if it’s the same blade type switch we’re used to today. There are many uses for these switches. I have a Charvel that I recently put one in, together with a push/ pull pot, it gets 10 different usable tone options. The wiring is a bit difficult, but doable. I recommend testing before final assembly. I'd like to thank GuitarElectronics.com for having images of some of the coolest wiring options I've seen. Together with some imagination and some trial and error, the wiring option you're looking for may be possible. The pickups being used are a set to be announced by Warp Core pickups. Stay tuned for Web site information and more to come from Warp Core. I'm not a sponsor or paid for promotions. I love this stuff and want to spread any info I can share. I hope you find these videos informative and/ or appreciate them. If so, please like and subscribe.
