Stewmac has a 6-way switch.

i'm thinking about my Patrick Eggle L.A.  i hate that bloody rotary switch!  it's got Irish Tours now, which are great, but i never wanted to cut it to put in lever switch.  this could be just the job :)

Must admit I've never even tried a rotary, I suspect if I had one I'd rip it out and replace it with a 3-way.

(I know that's not much use if you have 3 pickups)
