Like I said earlier. I have had a couple of each type of switching systems in previous PRSi that I have had. Love the diversity of the rotary. BUT, I really wasn't playing out with them. The toggle was always just easier and required no thought to use. I don't play well enough to play without thinking....so any EXTRA need to think just makes things more confusing for an already confused fiddler. I caved. What can I say. I like the tones from a simple three way and a coil split too.I sung the praises of the rotary for a long time, and kept it for years, but I eventually caved and made the switch. Not looking back.
I’d have to disagree with the second half of that.
Using a rotary switch is like performing a Japanese tea ceremony, and requires a couple years of finishing school to learn how to operate.
A little 余分な努力 is often rewarded, I suppose.
I spent way too much time trying to figure out what that said.A little 余分な努力 is often rewarded, I suppose.
Was this post one of those cases where the extra effort was worth it? Dunno... but I chuckled.
I am of the possibly ill considered opinion, that if you are going to the effort of having a ceremony, it should be for something more substantial than freakin' tea.I figured tea ceremony, study, “extra effort!”

I mean at least gimme a stiff drink... fru fru umbrellas and the whole nine yards.
That's what I want. I hink you like gin, and I like vodka, but throw fat olives in there and I'm good.Good point. I do a very good martini ceremony.

in the UK this is referred to as the 'Trigger's broom joke'.
Two signs of a truly civilized society: Ergonomics, and underwear.
Going commando or using rotary switches on guitars is uncivilized.
The ancient Roman legions wore underwear; they’ve dug up evidence of it in bogs in ancient Roman ruins along Hadrian’s Wall. No wonder they were so effective. They also had plumbing and glass windows. No huts made of straw and sticks stuck together with mud and dung for those guys!
They’d have had 3 & 5-way switches, too, if only they’d had the good sense to harness electricity and invent electric guitars.
I have no doubt that had that happened, there’d have been none of this “fall of the Roman Empire” stuff.

Who was the guy that said 'look at my vintage guitar' it's had three necks that were worn out and two bodies?
I knew they were great at concrete, but I had no idea about the glass windows. How were they compared to what we do today?
Fun fact #1: Glass is neither a solid or a liquid, it’s somewhere in between.
Fun fact #2: Concrete cures, it doesn’t dry. If all the moisture is taken out it falls apart.
Fun fact #3: If you think about fun facts 1 and 2 while high, it’ll blow your mind.
