GibsonToggle Switch Cap - Vintage Amber
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Vintage amber replacement cap for a Gibson-style pickup selector toggle. Buy it when the original is cracked, missing or the wrong color.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a lost or split toggle cap on a Les Paul-style guitar
- Warming up a guitar's look with an aged amber tip
- Cheap cosmetic fix during a restoration or parts swap
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Blade-style selector switches on Strat or Tele-style guitars
- Anyone wanting a functional or tonal improvement
- Guitars with a switch tip that threads differently
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
Threads onto the toggle
It screws onto a standard Gibson-style toggle shaft. Off-spec switches may use a different thread and will not hold.
Detail 03
Cap only
The switch, nut and washer are not part of this. A faulty or crackling switch still needs replacing separately.
Detail 04
Plastic construction
Light enough that switch feel is unchanged, but it can crack if the guitar takes a knock on that corner.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check that your switch is a threaded Gibson-style toggle, not a metric or blade type
- 02This does not fix a crackling or intermittent selector switch
- 03Amber shade varies between parts, so an exact match to other aged plastics is not guaranteed
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my Epiphone or import guitar?
Only if the toggle switch uses the same thread. Many imports use metric switches, where this cap will spin loose or not thread on at all.
02How do I install it?
Thread it onto the switch shaft by hand and turn until snug. No tools, no soldering.
03Is amber the same as cream?
No. Amber is translucent and yellower; cream is opaque and closer to off-white. Amber looks more aged on vintage-style builds.
04My switch crackles — will this help?
No. That is the switch itself. You need the switch cleaned or replaced; the cap is only the tip you touch.
