Wiring Diagram for P-Rails to a 4 way Rotary Switch

I want to put a set of P-Rails in my PRS SE Custom, but I don't want to rout a slot for a 4 way blade switch. I'd rather put a 4 way rotary in, if I can find one, but I can't find a wiring diagram, and my guitar tech is less than keen to do it without! I suppose I could use Triple Shots, but they're considerably more expensive than a rotary switch would be, and it looks like they'd be fiddly in use. I want to keep the 3 position switch for Bridge/Both/Neck switching, but also have the Rails/P90/Series HB/Parallel HB options available for all those combinations.

Actually, it occurs to me that perhaps I DO want Triple Shots. That would allow me any combination, in the middle position, wouldn't it? Like Series h/b bridge, P90 neck? That would also mean I can find a wiring diagram, and that there's no cutting holes in the axe. My tech would be happy!

If you change your mind back to 4-way rotary, PM me with the switch design and i'll draw you a diagram.

I'd recommend triple shots tho, I have them on my P-Rails and they are just awesome!

Are the little switches fairly robust? I don't want to put them in, and find they'll crap out on me after a year. I'm a reviewer for a guitar mag, and the idea of being able to have all those pup variations at the touch of a switch on the same guitar is great; it'll make reviewing amps and pedals way easier.

I haven't had them long enough to tell you whether they stand the test of time, but they seem pretty well made to me.
