10 way switch???

An HSS Strat of mine has 20 different combinations. An S1 switch, a push-pull and the bottom tone is actually a switch. I've had it for more than a decade, and I'm still confused about what does what. Some great sounds in there, but hard to get to on the fly :confused:
 
If those gazillion-way switches were all that, they would've taken over and become standard by now.

All my experiences with alternate switching have led me to the conclusion that the really good sounds are taken care of if you you have the 3- and 5-way switching we all know, and you can get the neck pickup to do a single-coil sound if you want it. Done.
 
Would be interesting to see how it would work with the Special 22 Semi-Hollow. Maybe a way to get an option for just the middle NF pickup?
 
I was afraid it'd be 10 positions in one direction, this seems like it could actually be useful, although am a bit concerned about durability, or what it would do to a wood mounted top.
