Slider or Toggle

[RedGuitars]

Need enough of the correct vote to influence PRS...

 

[sergiodeblanc]

Can I vote to just move the slider?

I agree...wish the slider was closer to the pickups.

Toggle!

Toggle, and by suck a huge margin I am about to have a custom pickguard made for my Mira so I can ditch the hateful slider. I have even given serious thought to just sticking one in regardless and just covering up the resultant slider holes with something. Going with those awful things is the worst decision PRS has made IMHO.

Toggle doesn't move, so it's quicker

Then you have voted correctly grasshopper...

I had a bit of a crazy thought the other day. I really enjoy the slider for the tones that come with it, but don't like the position. What if it could be modified to where the slider sat slightly behind the bridge, running up and down? It would probably look funny, but the position seems like it would be very functional - at least for me.

Of course this could be problematic when configuring the electronics cavity / routing. Perhaps modify the trem cavity? The size of the switch may have to be changed slightly, too.

Again, just a crazy thought...

Have had countless Strats, so I'll stick with the 5 way. Honestly though, I'm indifferent. I can deal with either. Never jelled with the knob though. Not that I mind it, but I prefer the slider or toggle.

I would probably die without a toggle :rofl:.

The slider looks weird on a PRS to me. Although possibly more convenient switching, I just don't dig it.

This is the right answer, see this.

Slider all the way.

Maybe its the position on my 408 but I love the 3 way slider and its in a perfect spot for me. I always thought for me the toggle on my CU24s CU22s and McCarty's were out of the way, the worst is the 5 way rotary. I think the 3 way with my 2 switches is the best.

Both of my electrics have toggles, but I prefer the slider. I really have trouble with pull-up knobs slipping in my fingers, always have.

However, any configuration is not a deal-breaker. I'm fairly flexible.

 

[Blues Trucker]

I had a strat with a slider and my SE has a toggle. I like the feel of the toggle better.

 

[markintime]

I have one of each, and I prefer the slider that my SE has. And I wish my PG had the slider the way nflea7's 408 has it. Or the way a 513 has it (probably the best).

 

[Suppalak Klabdee]

For 3 ways, I would definitely prefer the toggle.

For 5 ways, then of course the slider make much more sense than the rotary.

 

[PRSAK]

I voted Toggle but only because I couldn't vote Rotary. I am one of those guys that kind of grew up with the rotary it as a player and it seems perfectly normal (even somewhat defining) to me on a PRS.

The same sentiment here brother

The 5 way blade on my P22 is in a great spot, but on my CU24 not so much. I wish the 3 mag pickup controls were in the same (P22) location on both. While I'm wishing, I need to be able to get the neck pickup only in single coil mode.
