Twice I order two -5- way switches from this store , & each time I recieve only one -5- way switch. The other was a -4- way"packed in a 5 way bag. to have this happen once would be understandable, but twice in two orders is no accident. this company is not reliable. I did not need to open the items to see the differance, the seller can see what there packing & sends the wrong item.

Instead of a FIVE way switch like the SEALED package says it contains a FOUR way switch WTF. If someone could point me to the appropriate action to take that would be greeeaaaat.

I twice received the wrong switch when ordering this product in January 2012, on my initial order and on the replacement order. While the packaging says it is a five-way switch, it is actually a four-way switch.

The wiring diagram I got with the Fender Texas Special pickups really helped out here. This item comes as pictured and has no instructions. You should be able to find some videos online. I'm very happy with the functionality. The old strat sounds great. No more Snap, crackle, or pop!

A perfect fit and a very 'clean' replacement for the original part ( which I still had ). I've only been using amazon.com this year but so far they haven't disappionted me!

I got this as a replacement for my early 90's Bullet Series Squier by Fender, which was cutting out and otherwise flaky. This switch fit in the place of my old switch, but did not come with any sort of wiring schematic, so you have to sort of understand how this style of switch works. It has two 4-pole sides, but I only needed one of those sides.

I was messing around with the wiring in a MIM strat and I ended up melting the switch. So I ordered this one to replace it. Worked out perfect.

This switch was bought to replace a switch on a Chinese made Squire Strat. After only two weeks, the cheap factory switch failed. I could have returned the guitar under warranty, but I wanted to make some modifications to the guitar myself. Besides, I didn't want the switch to be replaced with another
cheap switch. Worth the extra money!!

Perfect OEM. ONE WORD OF WARNING, if you are not good at soldering and/or you don't have a good iron, don't try this yourself. The contacts are very thin and will burn up in a hurry. I recomend reading The Fender Stratocaster Handbook: How To Buy, Maintain, Set Up, Troubleshoot, and Modify Your Strat if you are unsure.

I installed this switch w/Fender pickups and solid soldered connections. Sometimes if I switch pickups I have to jiggle it to make the new connection , I will replace it with a higher end unit.
