Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

For Strat-style and similar electric guitars, this standard 2-pole 5-way blade switch gives access to five pickup positions. It works with single-coil and humbucker setups and uses standard guitar wiring, so it is suited to a replacement job or a custom electric-guitar build. Installation requires soldering; the included wiring diagram gives the installer a reference during the job. Screw-in mounting and its listed compact dimensions help define the hardware layout to check first.
