Question: What 3-way blade switch for a PRS Standard 22?

I thought you had already dealt with this...
No. I put it on the back burner because I didn't want to pay for the service just yet. I need my two lightest instruments in working order right now though because I have a rotator cuff impingement that is also causing neck issues and dealing with a Les Paul for 4 hours a night isn't cutting it.

This getting old shit sucks, sometimes, don't it?
 
I was going to say something funny like, and the NFL season is only half over but, I'll just say get well soon Mark.
 
Had time to fix it today. Didn’t even fuck it up.

One thing that I noticed is that the guitar is louder now, like I was losing signal through the old switch. Doesn’t make sense to me but that’s how it sounds.

Had to use a different color switch tip to fit the new switch though:

Aww crap... I could have given you a wiring diagram for a 5 way super switch to give you some tapped pickup options at the 2 and 4 positions.
 
1) That's the switch I use but, I really hate that I need to just follow a wiring diagram. I've tried and tried to wrap my brain around it and can't. Any cheap import strat/tele switch or any LP switch makes sense.

2) "One thing that I noticed is that the guitar is louder now, like I was losing signal through the old switch. Doesn’t make sense to me but that’s how it sounds."

Had lots of fun with the First Act guitars 10ish years ago. One thing I found, the insulation on their switches was not insulation, it was a semiconductor. Take the switch completely out of the guitar, put an ohm meter on it, instead of infinite, I'd get 10K ohms.
