Solved my wiring headache
I was trying to wire up a HSS configuration and needed a reliable 5-way. This switch handled the soldering heat well and the tone selection is crisp across all positions.

Reliable component for repairs
I use these for customer repairs regularly. The solder lugs are large enough to work with easily, and the internal contacts seem very robust. A staple in my repair shop inventory.

Smooth action and clear tone
Exactly what I needed. The click feel is satisfying and positive. My guitar sounds clearer now that the intermittent connection issues are gone. Great value for the price.

Perfect upgrade for my Squier
My old switch was crackling loudly whenever I moved it. This replacement installed in about 15 minutes and the action is smooth and silent. Highly recommend for anyone with a noisy selector.

Good quality, tight fit
The build quality feels premium compared to the stock part. It was a little tight fitting into the pickguard hole, but once seated, it works flawlessly. No more dead spots in position 2.

Works well but tip color varies
The switch itself is great and fixed my issue. However, the white tip included was slightly off-white compared to my other hardware. Not a dealbreaker, but worth noting for perfectionists.
Q: Does this come with the mounting nut and washer?
A: Yes, the package includes the switch, the plastic tip, a mounting nut, and a washer so you have everything needed for installation.
Q: Is the switch shielded against interference?
A: The switch housing is made of non-conductive plastic. For shielding, we recommend using copper tape in the control cavity or ensuring your guitar's pickguard has a conductive backing if hum is a concern.
Q: Can I use this for a 3-way setup if I only need neck and bridge pickups?
A: Absolutely. While this is a 5-way converter, it can be wired to function as a 3-way switch by simply not utilizing the intermediate lugs or connecting them according to your specific schematic.
Q: Will this fit a standard Fender American Stratocaster?
A: Yes, this switch is designed with standard dimensions and threading to fit both American Fender Stratocasters and Squier models without modification.
Q: What is the return policy if it doesn't fit my import guitar?
A: We offer a 30-day return policy for unused items in original packaging. While this fits most import guitars, please check your current switch dimensions before ordering if you have a rare or heavily modified instrument.
