Not funny - I drove through that monstrosity every day for a lot of years . In fact that photo must be from Christmas morning or something because that's the most empty I have ever seen it.

It's cool. I'm too lazy to put one in a guitar, but it's cool.

Seems like a very neat idea!

I think I would be up to try one. they show SSS configuration for the 10 way switch, I'm wondering which one to use with HSS configuration.

• 5B5-01 (S-type/T-type): Designed for SSS or HSS configurations, this model adds 5 parallel or series combinations to the standard 5 positions.
• 5B5-02 (HSH/HHH): Optimized for HSH or HHH configurations, allowing for complex humbucker splitting and combinations.

Thanks Don O. Would this still apply with push pull bridge humbucker split.

I’m getting ready to install one on a 3 pickup Epi SG. I’ll report it back.

I can barely handle a 3 position Switchcraft toggle live…

I think San Francisco has that one covered.

I've used the Emerson 5 way switch in all my Strats for years. Having 10 choices might make my head explode.

Please do.

I find all those switching options useful only until you settle in on the 2 or 3 that you'll actually use.

On a Stratocaster I only use the neck pickup all controls full on first I used a Sho-Bud volume pedal next a Ernie Ball
now a Hilton Pro Guitar LE volume pedal for the last twenty + years

Options are good, I have tried several different switching options. I am sure lots of things could be useful with what the switch offers. I have a Strat I did the Armstrong blender mod on which gives you the series option and a couple other out of phase options I don't care for. So this switch looks like it would be fun to try.
