Switchcraft 3 Way Toggle Switch w/Genuine Tip, Short Toggle for Les Paul Electric Guitar (Black Tip)

Replace the cheap Epi 3-wayy switch with this. Very slight mod for your luthier.

Replaced a switch that was noisy even after a cleaning. Perfect fit for my ES-339.

Hands down the best made pickup selector switch! No competition. I have unit from the 70s and 80s and they are all still built like tanks. If you need a good switch, spend the money and buy a Switchcraft. All the other will wear out, stop working, or get scratchy within a short amount of time. I highly recommend these for any repairs or upgrades.

Definitely worth the price; easy to install, fits perfectly, and feels great. The sound out of my pickups also improved. I swapped out the plastic toggle for a cream colored one.

Put this switch in my PRS S2 singlecut.This is better than the switch that came from PRS, which only lasted about 2.5 years before giving me trouble. On the install, I noticed that the lugs on this switch are much larger than the factory switch. They really challenged my solder iron and the small tips I had for it, but that’s not the switch’s fault. The length of the switch was perfect for my guitar.

I purchased 2 of these some months ago. Installed one immediately and saved one for as-needed. So, I closely examined the switch, and I echo what most of the low-star reviews said. The solder points are pretty flimsy. The switch makes poor contact, and mine makes my amp pop when I switch it. After someone noted their switch was used, I examined my unused switch with a 5X magnifying lens and discovered two things: 1) every solder lug had the remains of solder on them and were apparently soldered previously in some application; 2) the tiny contact points appeared barely connected to the spring leaves and were connected by no more than a pinpoint of surface area. I could see under most of the contact. This is a very poor switch for any price. The one I installed is mostly poor functioning and unusable. After years of Amazon purchases, I find myself wondering why they let so many second and third rate products be sold. I consider this junk.

Works as expected. It did improve my blooz bonamasa toan. My only ragret was not switching sooner.

Unusable junk. This switch looks high quality from the picture, which perhaps not curiously shows a flattering 'all metal' angle rather than the completely plastic switching mechanism inside which is less useful and unreliable. It functions similarly to a standard 3-way toggle, except the 'leaf springs' are poorly designed such that their length does not always return the toggle to a center position and can both propel and then 'catch' a return switch into the complete opposite position rather than returning to center. Additionally, the small contact pads did not always make a good connection due to the high spring pressure causing the opposite side leaf to bend slightly off after moving to the opposite position. I wish mine was merely defective, but the physical layout of the switching mechanism makes it look like a poor design with springs too aggressive for a half plastic toggle arm and a poor layout to ensure smooth travel. For $15 I would expect a full length metal toggle with a bushing fitted, rather than this two piece design with the entire bottom of the toggle arm being a plastic knob with enough leftover injection molded flashing to cause concern down the road. It simply doesn't 'lock' in position or feel quality compared to other name brand switches, or even work out of the box reliably. A shame because most other Switchcraft products I've used are decent or better.
