I'm looking for a 2 way toggle switch that looks identical to a 3 way switch. I prefer black knobs. I want a Jazzmaster/Gibson style switch. Does Fender make a 2 way toggle switch? It absolutely has to match a 3 way switch. I'll buy a Gibson if I have to but I much prefer a Fender.

Exactly what do you mean by a "2 way toggle switch"? On-On?

I want it to be wired as a killswitch, Up off, down on.

You should use a momentary switch, not a toggle switch.

FYI: Back in the Norlin era, Gibson used to modify and add a second Switchcraft 3 way toggle switch to some of their guitars, mechanically reconstructing the switch so that it could not be thrown to the third (up) position by blocking that option. The two remaining positions where then wired to make the switch an 'on/off' for the purpose of coil tapping.
