Solid construction
Feels much sturdier than the stock switch that came with my guitar. The clicks are distinct and there is no crackling when turning the knob.

Unlocked new tones
The 3-way tone converter feature is a game changer. I can now get series/parallel combinations I couldn't access before. Very happy with this purchase.

Professional quality
I've installed dozens of these for customers. They are reliable, consistent, and rarely come with defects. A staple in my repair shop inventory.

Perfect upgrade for my Squier
This switch fit perfectly into my Squier Strat. The action is smooth and the extra tone options really open up new sounds. Highly recommended for modders.

Great value, minor soldering needed
The quality is excellent for the price. I had to do a little bit of extra soldering to get it to fit my specific harness, but once installed, it works flawlessly.

Good replacement part
My old switch was failing after years of use. This was an easy swap and restored full functionality to my instrument. Shipping was fast too.
Q: Do I need to buy separate wiring or does it come pre-wired?
A: The switch comes with solder lugs ready for connection, but you will need to solder it to your existing guitar wiring harness. No additional wires are included.
Q: Will this fit a standard American Fender Stratocaster?
A: Yes, this switch is designed to be compatible with both import Squier models and standard American Fender Stratocaster cavities.
Q: Is a screwdriver included in the package?
A: No, the package contains only the switch assembly, mounting nut, and washer. You will need your own tools for installation.
Q: What is the difference between this and a standard 5-way switch?
A: This unit includes an integrated 3-way tone converter that allows for additional pickup combination modes not available on a standard single-function 5-way switch.
Q: Can this handle high-output humbuckers if I install them later?
A: Absolutely. The brass contacts are rated for high current and work well with both single-coil and high-output humbucker pickups.
