Looking for an odd switch for an amp

I am looking for a three position SPDT switch that is like a pick up switch from a Les Paul.  On-Both-On, and can handle 120 volts AC and 5 amps or so.  Really one amp would be enough, but I am not having any luck with the correct name for the monster.  Anyone have any clues where to find one of these, or what you would call them?  Thanks in advance.

This  should be easy to find, sorry not gonna give a link, should be easy to find, in the amount of time it would take me to provide a link you can find it. and it's not an odd switch, it's a switch that anyone that sells switches provides
 
A Les Paul switch is easy, yes.  But not that style of a switch that can handle wall AC voltages and current.  That is a bit tougher.  There is an ever love boat load of on-off-on switches...  I went through Mousers search engine for quite some time trying to get the proper one and couldn't find it there.  This doesn't mean it isn't there, but I could not find it.

Ahhhh.  Wait... Just re-read your original post.  You want 3 position, not 3 pole.  Sorry.    But look around the Carling site, they might have what you need....

 
Thanks for the posts, nothing yet.  It is the middle position, "both," that is difficult to find.  I now know the nomenclature for spring loaded switches...  I guess I will call Carling, they indicate that there are more options that are not listed on the product pdf's.
