Reliable component
I've installed these in three different guitars now. No crackling, no failure, and the electrical connection is stable. Great value for the price.

Does the job well
Solid little switch. The click is audible and positive. I used it to split the neck pickup on my Les Paul copy, and it sounds fantastic. Just make sure you have enough room in your cavity.

Perfect for my Telecaster mod
This switch is exactly what I needed to add a coil-split option to my humbucker. The size is compact enough to fit in tight control cavities, and the soldering points are clear and easy to work with.

Great for beginners
As someone new to guitar electronics, this switch was easy to understand and install. The terminals are spaced well apart, reducing the risk of accidental shorts while soldering.

Good quality, smooth action
The toggle action feels solid and not too stiff. It works great for switching between full humbucker and single-coil tones. Only giving 4 stars because the instructions weren't included, but wiring diagrams are easy to find online.

Compact and effective
Fits perfectly in my custom build where space was limited. The 6-pin layout makes wiring the coil tap very straightforward. Highly recommend for DIY luthiers.
Q: What is the difference between On-On and On-Off-On?
A: An On-On (2-way) switch connects the circuit to one of two positions continuously; it does not have a center 'off' position. This is ideal for toggling between two pickup modes, like full humbucker and coil-split.
Q: Is this suitable for bass guitar modifications?
A: Absolutely. The electrical specifications are identical for bass and electric guitar applications. It works perfectly for splitting humbucking bass pickups.
Q: How do I identify which pins to solder for coil splitting?
A: Typically, you will use the common pin and one of the throw pins to interrupt the connection between the two coils. We recommend consulting a specific wiring diagram for your pickup brand or using a multimeter to test continuity in each position.
Q: Do I need a specific screwdriver size to mount this?
A: Most mini switches like this come with a standard nut and washer. A 7mm or 8mm socket or wrench is typically required to tighten the mounting nut onto the guitar body.
Q: Can this switch handle high-output active pickups?
A: Yes, with a rating of 6A at 125V AC, this switch is more than capable of handling the low-voltage, low-current signal path of both passive and active guitar pickups safely.
