Surprisingly rare: the Custom 22 with 5-way blade switch?

[Going Modal]

Firstly, can anybody confirm how long the CU22 was made with the 5-way blade switch? Did it start in ~2015 when the 85/15 squabbin pickups replaced the DII's? And then the CU22 was dropped in maybe 2022~2023?

Secondly, it's surprising how few of these are out there in the used market. I had one--sort of miss it, and getting a little market-curious--and I'm finding that they're more rare on the used market than you'd think. (Simply because they're so well-liked that they're not being sold? Perhaps.)

I had a rotary put in my CU22, along with 57/08’s. Close enough for me.

Yeah, someone posted a NGD in the last couple of weeks of one. I think it was an ‘09
