    I got a couple of the first version (not the one pictured here), thinking I'd try them on a couple of Ghosts, but have since read some quite negative reviews.
    Don't know about the new version I'm afraid. :-S

    Looks like a cool idea. You could get coil-split switching from the same switch without needing push-pulls etc.

    It would have to be as reliable as a Switchcraft toggle before I'd consider fitting one though.

    Hi - someone had a purple LP of yours for sale just before MR went down, I have to say that looked one honey of a guitar.   :)

    I would be grateful if you could PM me the details on the switch, and any other control / wiring ideas for a flexible beastie.  Thanks

    The reviews were at Stewmac but they've now replaced it with the new version, designed by the same guy (Alasdair Bryce - I met him at the Guitar Nation Festival a few years ago), and the reviews are gone.

    Thanks for that, I now feel much happier taking a chance on trying this out myself.

    Sporkaster 4 has one. It's tricky to hit the middle positions.

    i used a couple of the old style ones.  they were ok, but the switching mechanism was not totally reliable and it did need a wiggle to bring it back every so often

    new ones might be better - its certainly a nice concept.  not sure i like the solder pads on the new one though, although the tabs on the old one where a bit flimsy.  i like proper tags so i can get a good solid connection even before solder
