Product Reviews
This switch has a long enough threaded shaft to work in a Korean ES335 copy. The threads of the ‘L’ shaped switch don’t make it through the top.
Worked perfectly to replace the switch in my G&L. It fit nicely under the pickguard and was short enough for the body cavity. Solid action.
Can’t beat original equipment quality and these guys supply and support with fair prices and great service.
This short 3 position toggle switch is specifically made as an upgrade to replace the el-cheapo 3 position toggles found on Epiphone LPs and other Asian-made guitars. It's made for guitars that don't have the cavity depth to house the long Switchcraft toggle. Any pro LP player will tell you that a Gibson LP's long toggle (Gibson always uses a Switchcraft) has a feel, sound and unmatched reliability of no other 3 position toggle switch on the market. This shortie switch is similar in these attributes and is made to last a lifetime like the long version.
