    I have circa 97' PRS Custom 22. I hate the rotary switch. I love the versatility but it's just too impractical in live situations. I have a set of Wagner Goodwood's I want to install but I want to also replace the rotary swith with a standard LP style 3 way toggle. Can anyone provide me with wiring instructions or point me to where I may find the schematic I need.

    Thanks, Steve

    I think the PRS website has wiring diagrams for most of the models they produce.

    Let us know how it works out......

    The best way to make it practical is to take a chicken-head knob, bevel the bottom so it doesn't scratch the finish, and replace the speed knob with that. You will find that your previously unuseable rotary switch is now VERY useable.
