Need one to mod a G&L for single coil switching.
It's this right here, but Allparts says it will be a month before they have any. Wasn't thrilled about paying $30 for a $2 switch anyway, but I'm not having much luck anywhere else. http://www.allparts.com/4-Pole-On-On...p-4363-010.htm
Or if you have one for sale, let me know. |

EDIT:
MF has one. Also not cheap and also out of stock. Free shipping, at least:
DiMarzio Three Position On/On/On 4PDT Pickup Selector Switch $29.95
Availability: Expected: 11-14-2010.

As for that DiMarzio above, it's not a mini switch. It's HUGE. Takes about a 1/2" mounting hole.
Guess I should have posted this in electronics  |

But I may end up using two of those to do this (one for each pickup) since it seems like I'd have better luck finding the Ark of the Covenant than one of these switches |

EDIT: ...but they are in stock

Mouser has a bunch of them. |

Pick the termination style you want.
The pics are of a generic C&K SPDT or something. The part numbers are for the actual switch.

The DP3T in the picture confused me. What does that mean? |

4PDT is 4 Pole Double Throw, which has 12 contacts. It can have various functions. The first one in the Mouser list is what you showed at AllParts.
DP3T is Double Pole 3 Throw which has 8 (or 12) contacts. It can also have various functions as above.
Here's a page with some examples and circuit diagrams of the switch types: www.xtronics.ca/graphics/Minaturetoggles.pdf
