Switchcraft 3 way Toggle Switch - Short Frame in gold!
£27.95
About
Switchcraft are widely regarded as industry standard for quality components. Their products are used by big brands, luthiers and repairers alike, and I'd trust and recommend their jacks and switches.
This is the really helpful 'short frame' version of their traditional 3 way toggle switch. It's particularly helpful in shallow cavities, or harder to work with models like the 335 where a slightly smaller component is useful when trying to install in tigher workspace/cavities. I use these as standard on my Les Paul & 335 Signature Series harnesses and they're really good! I find they fit a broader range of guitar models than the traditional long frame switch. Also helpful is their mounting thread length which is much longer than the long frame switch version, making install easier and often removing the need for an additional extended mounting nut which the long frame switch version almost always requires. You can just use the standard mounting nut supplied instead.
Speaking as someone who has been supplying guitar parts, and pre-wired kits for over 8 years now, I am so so happy to see Switchcraft release a gold version of their awesome and very practical short frame 3 way toggle. For a long time on instruments where a long frame toggle isn't viable, I have had to use nickel switches with a gold mount nut to try and tie in to other guitar hardware. So I'm very happy to now be able to use a fully gold switch and have things looking so much better.
To help with soldering, all Switchcraft switches have been pre-tinned contacts from the factory. For tips on wiring these up, please see our wiring diagrams which are available via a link at the bottom of the website.
