Perfect replacement for my Strat clone

This switch feels incredibly solid compared to the cheap one I removed. The 5-position click is crisp and distinct. Being made in Japan really shows in the quality control.

Good value for money

Does exactly what it says. The cap sits securely on the lever. Only giving 4 stars because shipping took a little longer than expected, but the product itself is perfect.

Great quality, tight fit

The build quality is excellent. It was a bit tight fitting into my pickguard hole, but once installed, it works flawlessly. No crackling noises when switching.

Smooth action for bass mods

I used this for a custom bass wiring project. The long throw makes it easy to select positions quickly during play. Highly recommended for DIY luthiers.

Reliable and durable

I've installed dozens of these over the years for customers. HOSCO parts never fail. The contact points are gold-plated and ensure a clean signal path.
