Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Three-position toggle switch in black for selecting between two pickups or their combination. A common replacement part for switches that have gone intermittent.

Product studyProline 3-Position Toggle Switch Black

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Fixing a pickup selector that drops out mid-position
  • Wiring a two-humbucker guitar's neck/both/bridge selection
  • Replacing a switch whose plastic tip has snapped off

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Strat-style guitars needing a five-way blade switch
  • Three-pickup layouts that need more switching positions
  • Solderless installs or anyone avoiding a hot iron

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 01

3-position toggle

Neck, both pickups, bridge. The middle position runs them in parallel, which is quieter and thinner than either alone.

Detail 02

Toggle, not a blade switch

Mounts through a single hole with a threaded bushing and nut. It will not drop into a Strat pickguard cut for a blade switch.

Detail 03

Black finish

The hardware and nut are black. If your guitar has chrome or gold hardware, the mismatch is visible on the body face.

Detail 04

Budget grade

Works fine for a practice or backup guitar. Detent feel and contact life won't match a Switchcraft on a gigging instrument.

Detail 05

Switch tip is a separate part

The knob you grip usually threads onto the lever. Check whether yours is included or whether you reuse the old one.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Requires soldering pickup leads and output wire to the lugs
  2. 02Mounting hole size and lever length may differ from your original
  3. 03Toggle switches on Les Paul-style guitars mount from the back or through the top

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will this replace my Les Paul toggle?

Possibly, but check the mounting depth and lever length first. Long-shaft toggles are used for the upper-bout position on carved tops. Short-shaft versions suit flat-top mounting.

02Does this fit a Stratocaster?

No. Strats use a five-way blade switch mounted to the pickguard. This is a toggle that mounts through a single round hole.

03Is the switch tip included?

Check the package contents before you order. Many toggle switches ship as bare hardware and expect you to reuse or buy the plastic tip separately.

04How do I wire a three-way toggle?

Each outer lug takes one pickup's hot lead, and the common lug goes to the volume pot. Photograph your existing wiring before desoldering so you can match it.
