Great quality, slightly tight cap
The switch mechanism itself is top-notch. The only minor issue was that the included cap was a bit tight to push on, but once seated, it stays secure. Overall, a great upgrade for the price.

Excellent for bass mods
Used this on a custom bass project to switch between three pickups. It handles the wiring configuration easily and the throw distance is perfect. Very satisfied with the durability.

Standard fit, premium feel
Fits standard Stratocaster routing perfectly. The handle has a nice texture and the white tip provides good visibility on stage. Definitely worth spending a little extra for genuine HOSCO parts.

Silent operation
One of the quietest selector switches I have ever installed. No extra noise when changing positions, which is crucial for recording sessions. The build quality is exactly what you expect from Made in Japan components.

Perfect replacement part
My old switch was crackling and cutting out. This Japanese-made replacement fit perfectly into my guitar's pickguard without any modification. The solder lugs are sturdy and held the heat well during installation.

Smooth action and reliable
This HOSCO switch feels incredibly solid compared to the generic ones I've used before. The clicking action is crisp and positive, making it easy to select pickups quickly during a performance. Highly recommended for Strat-style builds.
Q: Is this switch compatible with Fender Stratocasters?
A: Yes, the H-DS-5S is designed with standard dimensions and threading, making it fully compatible with most Fender Stratocaster models and clones.
Q: Does this come with the mounting nut and washer?
A: Yes, the package includes the switch body, the selector handle, the cap, and the necessary mounting nut and washer for installation.
Q: Are the solder lugs pre-tinned?
A: The lugs are clean and ready for soldering but are not pre-tinned from the factory to ensure the best connection when you apply your own fresh solder.
Q: Can this be used for a 3-pickup bass guitar?
A: Absolutely. As a 5-way switch, it offers various combinations suitable for configuring three pickups on a bass guitar, depending on your wiring scheme.
Q: What is the total length of the shaft?
A: The threaded shaft length is approximately 13mm, which is standard for most electric guitar pickguards ranging from 2mm to 5mm in thickness.
