I hate how the bottom of the switch on the newer 5 way switches are incomplete. So you can see a gap in either side if the switch is in the 1st and 5th postition. I like the switches they used like on the Strat plus, that was round all the way at the base, so it didn't have that gap, was stiffer too, without using a spring. Felt better built in general.
If anyone knows where to buy a 5 way switch like this let me know, I would like to put them on all my strats.

Ceri continues to amaze. This body sure doesnt look like the former Pyrocaster it started as. I would certainly like to see Ceri work on an acoustic build next time. :)

Yes, that Strat a few posts ago is Candy Tangerine. In light it has a gold sheen to it. Very cool color and great with Gold Hardware.

Hi Jason: just a question of brands. That pictured switch that came with this EMG set I'm using is made by Oak, unless I'm much mistaken. Personally, I've used several Oak switches in the past and never had an issue with them, but each to his own.

I have an idea that yours might have been produced by CRL - though it could be YKE also. Try Googling those and see if you find what you want. Anyhow. There's several brands out there. Just a matter of shopping around...

Cheers - C

Most captivating!

Ironically, I guess you can call this whole process, "Reverse Relicing".


I wonder if they have a process like this for me? :roll:
