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.

Upgrade your guitar today
Replaced a scratchy old switch with this one. The difference in feel and reliability is night and day. Installation was straightforward with standard tools.
Q: Is this switch compatible with Fender Stratocaster guitars?
A: Yes, the H-DS-5S is designed with standard mounting dimensions that fit most Stratocaster-style guitars and clones.
Q: Is this suitable for high-output humbucker setups?
A: Absolutely. The internal contacts are rated to handle high-output signals without arcing or signal loss, making it great for modern humbucker configurations.
Q: What is the thread size for the bushing?
A: The bushing features a standard 1/2 inch - 32 UNEF thread, which is the industry standard for most electric guitar pickguards.
Q: Can this be used for a 3-way switching configuration?
A: While it is a 5-position switch, you can wire it to function as a 3-way switch by only utilizing the outer positions and the center, though it is optimized for 5-way circuits.
Q: Does this come with the metal tip cap?
A: Yes, the package includes the black toggle lever with the white plastic tip cap, along with the necessary mounting nut and washer.
