The easiest way to go is to get the one from MM- it's soldered onto a PCB with solder pads for the pickup leads. It'll be simpler than wiring up a regular 4PDT.

Fwiw, I've been very happy with the set of Transition pickups I put in my old Morse. Same kind of deal- more of a classic humbucker set with some oomph.
That is a gorgeous guitar. Wowza.
Nice. I'm a fan of making it your own.
Wow!
Worth every penny for a LIII with SS frets, I'd say.
Hi there-
You can use the online serial # tool to search for your guitar:

Something HSS might tick the boxes, too. Cutlass HSS, Luke III HSS, Silhouette Special HSS, etc.
The Luke III is pretty sick. Bonus points if you can find one with larger frets.
Congrats Brian!
Those are beautiful. Wow.
Daniel at Music Man can help you out - customerexperience@music-man.com.
That is so awesome.
I'm scared. My wallet is terrified.
Uh oh ... this is trouble
Nice detective work, Pete!
Looks like back pearloid to me.
Happy to help guys! The Morse is pretty much the perfect instrument. No matter what other guitars I play, I keep coming back to the good ole' beat-up blue Morse.
Maybe that'll be the next iteration in guitar technology ... heated/cooled strings :)
I had mine wired similarly for a while, except the 4th position was neck & bridge in parallel, rather than neck + 3-way. (Sounded great, but I found I rarely used the neck single or the two singles...
Hey there- congrats on the guitar!
The pickups are all in parallel with one another, just like the Y2D.
The wiring looks odd, but it's no so bad. If you want to add a 5-way switch, you have...
What I mean is, not every bridge would be adjusted flat. The angle could be +/- a bit.
Nice. That's what I've done in the past as well, thought my cuts weren't as nice :)
Not sure if there's a market for selling them as an accessory though. Plus, the position of every bridge might...
There's no colour from the preamp. It's just a buffer. (You'd notice it if you had a long cable run to your board.)
That said, you can certainly bypass it if you like. There's a thread on TGP...
These are awesome Pete. Well done.
You could also bite the bullet and replace it. Switches can go bad, seize up, etc. Just get a replacement one.
I'd look for a Silhouette w/ Piezo. They can be had used and would probably fit the bill.
