I have a RioGrande hybrid humbucker with rod-magnet coils based on their Tallboy and Halfbreed Strat pickups.
Would love to have a rotary for coil choices (this pickup only, using regular 5-way blade for overall pickup selection).
Am thinking four or five positions: Series, parallel, inner coil alone, bridge coil alone, and maybe series-OOP also.
First of all, is series-out-of-phase a viable option for two coils so close together? (They are different winds: 7.7K and 8.25K.)
But if OOP isn't likely to be usable, I'd be happy with 4 positions.
Have seen single wafer two- and three-pole rotaries with lugs on the bottom face that should fit in a Fender type rout.
Less certain about fitting two-wafer rotaries that have their connections around the outer edge.
So, can what I want be done using a two pole rotary? or would it require a 3P4T? or a 4P4T?
And could it be done with a 2 pole switch if the series-OOP option were omitted?
Thanks for your help and advice.
