Page's Gibson Custom Shop touring backup LP had two mini switches affixed to the underside of the pickguard.
In recent times, Page has taken to using the Freeway 3x3-03 six position toggle selector switch. This will get you the six most useful coil permutations from a two humbucker guitar with no need to remove any wood and no poncing about with push-pull pots under the volume knobs.
Superb quality, and you can always upgrade the caps at a later date if you want (although I wouldn't personally).
If anyone charges you more than a £100, you're being ripped off. I've just looked at the price of those components seperately and there's more than enough margin there.
EDIT: If you want to wire it up yourself, you can save £15 by ordering this one - http://www.sixstringsupplies.co.uk/product/jimmy-page-wiring-kit

Yes! I found this last night. Its on eBay for £95ish but went on their website direct and its cheaper. Those darn eBay fees catching up with some people!
I made the investment and await delivery. I wont change the caps - I'm a firm believer in orange drops.
thanks gents - I'm sure I'll be back on this thread for installation tips!
It does all sorts with the 4 push pulls. Very happy

Soldering this particular circuit is time consuming but not unduly difficult. The tricky part is remembering the difference between some of the coil permutations and which pots to push and pull to find the five good sounds.
time consuming indeed. There is a lot of heat shrink tubing involved and a fair amount of work to be done on each pot.
No sir! 4 hours is an exaggeration - but by the time the harness is wired, template made, printed off all the paperwork/diagrams/installation instructions and packed it - 3 hours easy. Bear in mind there's only so many hours in a day and having to prepapre/solder, pack and ship other orders,
We charge £80 for 4 pots - so it has to be perfect. Attention to detail is important, as I'm sure being a pickup winder you understand. Its not the nicest wiring job in the world but I have to make sure every single joint is tip-top as it can be a ball-ache to install once at the customers end.
@Alegree Big fan of your pickups by the way....I had a stand at Bristol Guitar Show next to Bear Guitars....

Thanks for comments - well £83 seems reasonable but you'd be surprised at the number of guitar techs who have bought it and added their own mark up respectively. It's a time issue for many. There is decent margin, but for every on of these JP harnesses we do - we could knock out 10 Les Paul harnesses. The price is a reflection of time involved.
Oh yes! Its a bitter feeling when eBay take 9% of this.
Thanks for your comments everyone - had a little website traffic filter through from the The Fretboard so thought I'd pop in and say hello.
