I have a 1992 PRS CE24 (per-factory core, bolt-on neck with a 5-way rotary switch). It was my main guitar for a decade and I was good at the rotary switch. I went to use it at a blues jam (kind of like an open mic night) and struggled.

I was thinking a Free-Way 3x3-04 toggle. They are likes hen's teeth and expensive ($70 delivered).

Anyone with experience using and or installing one?

Not yet but soon. I bought one for a three pickup SG copy that only has a master volume and master tone...

I am not familiar with the 3x3-04 switch. But I have installed a couple 5B5-01 5-way 10-position switches. I found them easier to install than the Fender S-1 & superswitch.

Reliable quality?

I have had them a couple years, with no problems. But they do not get a lot of playing (like most of my guitars).
