So I'm putting together a custom HSS Strat - I just received word that my neck and body have shipped from Warmoth. Stoked!!!
I'm planning to use a rotary switch instead of the common 5 position blade. (I prefer the look of round knobs to the blade switch and sometimes I'll accidentally hit the blade while playing and knock it into a different position...)
Before I began my search, I assumed I would wind up with a 5 position rotary switch. But it looks like there are also 6 position rotary switches! (https://www.stewmac.com/electronics/components-and-parts/switches/rotary-switches.html)
So, now I assume I'm going to be getting a bonus position! What to do with it?
[list type=decimal]
[*]Bridge
[*]Bridge+Middle
[*]Middle
[*]Middle+Neck
[*]Neck
[*]Bonus Position!
[/list]
I guess the logical options for the 6th (Bonus) position are Bridge+Neck or Bridge+Middle+Neck. Is there another option that I'm overlooking? Does anyone have feedback on these Bonus Position options? Or experience with these StewMac rotary switches?
Thanks!
