Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement 3-way blade switch for Strat- and Tele-style wiring. For repairing a scratchy or dead selector, not for adding new switching options.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a switch that crackles or drops positions
- Rewiring a Strat or Tele-style guitar from scratch
- Keeping a spare on hand for gig-night repairs
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who want 5-way Strat positions
- Anyone unwilling to solder or pay a tech
- Guitars using toggle or rotary switches instead of blades
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
SSS configuration
Wired for three single-coils, but the switch itself just routes signal — it works with any pickups on those lugs.
Detail 03
Stratocaster body shape listing
Fits the standard Fender-style pickguard or control-plate switch slot on those body styles.
Detail 04
Blade-style actuator
You get the familiar side-to-side lever throw, not a tip-over toggle. Feel matches the original part.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my Squier or import Strat?
Often, but not always. Import switch slots and lug spacing sometimes differ from Fender spec. Compare your old switch side by side before installing.
02Can I use this to get 5 pickup positions?
No. This is a 3-position switch. You'd need a 5-way switch for the in-between Strat combinations.
03Does it come with a switch tip?
Don't count on it. Plan to reuse your existing tip or buy one separately.
04Do I need to solder it in?
Yes. The pickup and output wires solder to the switch lugs. A tech can do it in a few minutes if you don't solder.
