Detail 01
Threads onto the switch tip
Screws onto the toggle lever rather than pressing on. Cross-threading a plastic cap strips it, so start it by hand.

GibsonToggle Switch Cap - White
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
White plastic cap for a Gibson-style pickup selector toggle. A replacement for a cracked, lost, or discolored cap.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a cracked or missing toggle cap on a Les Paul or SG
- Swapping an amber or black cap to white for contrast
- Keeping a spare in a gig bag for a part that goes missing
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Blade-style selector switches, which use a different lever entirely
- Import guitars with metric toggle threads — the cap may not thread on
- Anyone needing the switch itself; this is the cap only
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
Plastic construction
Light and quiet under the fingers, but it can crack if the guitar takes a knock on the switch.
Detail 03
White finish
Reads clearly against dark tops and black hardware. It will pick up grime at the base over time.
Detail 04
Gibson-style toggle fitment
Sized for standard Gibson-spec toggle switches. Metric-threaded import switches often will not accept it.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Cap only. The switch, nut and washer are not included.
- 02Check your switch threads are imperial before ordering, especially on import guitars.
- 03Hand-tighten only. Pliers will crack the plastic or strip the threads.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my Epiphone?
Not always. Many import guitars use metric-threaded toggle switches that will not accept a Gibson-spec cap. Check the thread on your existing cap first.
02Does this include the switch?
No. This is the cap that threads onto the toggle lever. If the switch itself is faulty, you need a replacement toggle switch.
03How do I install it?
Unscrew the old cap by hand, then thread the new one on until snug. Start it straight to avoid stripping the plastic threads. No tools needed.
04Will it fit a Strat-style switch?
No. Strat-style guitars use a blade switch with a flat lever and a push-on tip. This cap threads onto a round toggle lever.
