Smooth operation
Installed this on my bass project and it works flawlessly. The toggle moves smoothly without any scratchy noise. Highly recommend for anyone doing a high-end upgrade.

Professional grade component
As a luthier, I only use HOSCO parts for my custom builds. This 5-way selector is reliable and durable. The solder lugs are large enough for easy installation.

Solid upgrade
Replaced a faulty switch on my vintage reissue. Fits perfectly and the handle cap screws on securely. Took off one star only because shipping took a little longer than expected.

Worth every penny
I was hesitant about the price, but this HOSCO switch is worth it. No crackling sounds when switching positions, which was a huge issue with my old switch. Very happy with this purchase.

Perfect replacement for my Strat
This switch feels incredibly solid compared to the cheap import ones I've used before. The 5-way action is crisp and positive. Being made in Japan really shows in the quality control.

Great quality, slightly stiff at first
The build quality is excellent. It was a bit stiff out of the box, but after a few days of playing, it broke in nicely. The chrome finish matches my hardware perfectly.
Q: What is the total length of the shaft?
A: The shaft length is standard for most electric guitar applications, approximately 16mm, suitable for typical pickguard thicknesses.
Q: Is this switch compatible with Fender Stratocaster guitars?
A: Yes, the H-DM-50S is a standard 5-way switch designed to fit most Stratocaster-style pickguards and routing.
Q: Is the handle cap removable?
A: Yes, the handle cap screws onto the threaded tip of the toggle lever and can be removed or replaced if needed.
Q: Can this be used for a 3-way selection if wired differently?
A: While it is a 5-way switch, you can wire it to function as a 3-way by utilizing only specific terminals, though a dedicated 3-way switch is usually more cost-effective for that purpose.
Q: Does this come with the mounting nut and washer?
A: Typically, the switch includes the mechanism and handle cap. Mounting hardware like nuts and washers may vary by batch, so please check the package contents upon arrival.
