potentiometer 250K/500K with DPDT attached

Anybody seen pots with DPDT attached that is on-on-on. So far I've only seen on-on so I'm not sure if it exists in on-on-on! I have 2 SGD pickups that I would like to be able to do series/parallel/single coil on each pickup.

I haven't seen a 3 levels up pop up when pulled pot. I think a third level would get to where it was much more prone to being bumped and bent.

that's what I thought too, thanks for the reply. I guess I will have to drill 2 more holes for the switches

Wouldn't work for pickup switching, but I often hide switches for mid frequency control inside of compartments, if it's one that I don't think I'm goign to need ongoign access to playing live.

I may do that before I decide drilling, I don't think I will change the coil configuration much live anyway, it's just a case of "I have the possibility to do it, then why not!"

You could swap out 2 pots with the switch pots instead of 1 pot with a triple option
