Logic Pro 11 RAM Needs?

Brightening up a neck humbucker

Nuno's brand of guitars officially announced

Simplest 5 pos strat switch that can do this

closest thing would be the PRS "designed" 5 way super switch. Its only actually 2pole double throw switch. So you have 2 independent sides. It takes up the same space as a 4pdt super switch, but just has some lugs removed...
