3-way 4-pole BLADE switch?

[Quicksilver689]

I know there's such a thing as a 3-way 4-pole toggle switch (DiMarzio's EP1111 comes to mind), but does anyone make a 3-way 4-pole BLADE version of this switch? I like that in the middle position with this switch on a 2 HB guitar, you can have one coil from each HB together in parallel, but I have not yet seen this type of switch in a blade version.

I looked for one recently and couldn't find anything.

I did wonder if it'd be possible to mod a 5-way Superswitch so it only sticks in 3 of the positions...

LOL....that'd be funny....

It's pretty much the opposite of how the 5-way was "invented".

Or you could wire a 5-way so that positions 1 & 2 are the same, and positions 4 & 5 are the same.

yeah, that's true....a 5-way 4-pole superswitch like this one that I just bought basically allows you virtually any coil combo, right?

Ayup. There are limits, but pretty much anything you'd actually want to do you can. Takes a bit of head-scratching for the more complicated stuff.
