No more crackling!
Replaced an old faulty switch with this one. The difference is night and day. Clean signal, precise switching positions, and it feels like it will last forever.

Solid hardware
Very sturdy construction. The chrome finish matches my other hardware perfectly. Only giving 4 stars because the price is a bit steep compared to competitors.

Smooth action and reliable
I've used cheap switches before that crackle after a few months. This one feels solid and the action is buttery smooth. No noise issues at all.

Best in class for Tele mods
Used this to mod my Telecaster. The ability to get those in-between sounds transforms the guitar. Highly recommend for anyone looking to expand their palette.

Perfect upgrade for my Strat
This Schaller switch is incredibly smooth. The 5-way conversion gave me exactly the tonal options I was missing. German engineering really shows in the build quality.

Great sound, tricky install
The switch itself works flawlessly and the tone conversion is fantastic. Installation took a bit longer than expected as I had to modify the cavity slightly, but worth it.
Q: Is soldering required for installation?
A: Yes, you will need to solder the connections. We recommend referring to the included wiring diagram or consulting a professional technician if you are unsure.
Q: Does this switch fit standard American Stratocasters without modification?
A: Yes, this Schaller switch is designed to fit standard US-sized pickup cavities and pickguards commonly found on Stratocasters and Telecasters.
Q: Can I use this to get the neck and bridge pickup together on a Telecaster?
A: Absolutely. The Super 5-Way configuration includes a position that combines both the neck and bridge pickups, a sound not typically available on stock 3-way Tele switches.
Q: Does this come with a grounding wire?
A: The package includes the switch mechanism and mounting hardware. While it has terminals for grounding, specific jumper wires may need to be sourced separately depending on your guitar's existing wiring layout.
Q: What is the warranty period for this product?
A: Schaller provides a 2-year manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for this switch.
