Guitar Coil Split
5 out of 5 stars
Guitar Coil Split
I used two of these on a guitar for coil splitting (shutting half of each humbucker off). These are 5 wire Bill Lawrence x5000. I got the spst on/off switches. If it took the second, bottom nut off they were tall enough to poke through the top of the guitar. Middle wires together alone = normal humbucker. Middle wire to ground = split coil half of humbucker turned off. Turn off the switch = no connection, normal sound. Turn on the switch = 2 center wires contact ground and cool single coil sound. Solid construction. Nice and big (I didn't want mini-switches since this guitar already had 3 big holes in it. See photo.

    Solid switch. Great snap. Perfect for repairing a shop tripod lamp. Ratings good for the standard halogen bulb but switched to a LED bulb. Use the real deal quality switch. Not using some china knockoff switch which may fail dangerously.

    If you're like me, you know the value of a hard day's work and gear that gets the job done. The gardner toggle switch is right up our alley – none of that fancy fuss, just reliability you can count on.

    This switch doesn't need an instruction manual the size of a novel. It's a simple ON-OFF deal – the way it should be. Built tough to handle 8 A/125 V, it's like a handshake that says, "I've got this."

    Now, I'll be straight with you – it's not about flashy features or slick designs. It's about performance. This switch might not be the shiniest tool in the shed, but it's the one you'll reach for time and again because it does the job without complaints.

    So, if you're a blue-collar warrior who believes in straightforward solutions and getting stuff done, the Gardner Bender GSW-18 Toggle Switch is in your lane. No fluff, just results.

    It's a good switch, very straightforward and feels well-made. I appreciate how it's "mountable" using the threaded ring included. I also appreciate how the wires go inside of the unit. They aren't attached on by screws like some units. I'm using it for a 12 v application, and I've had no issues so far, knock on wood.

    Size: (SPST) - ⅓ HP/125 V AC, 10 A/125 V ACVerified Purchase
    I added this switch to a light fixture I temporarily wired to a junction box and plug-in power cord. This switch is well-made, and quite "snappy!" It won't easily switch itself on or off due to brushing against something, and should last a long time.

    The wires are the perfect thickness, and tied perfectly to the fixture's wiring with wirenuts. I really like how the front "plate" with the on and off markings unscrews for easy installation, and has a notch to ensure correct orientation. For any application, this switch seems to be a win!

    I use these to run the hydraulic system on my 5 car trailer. They work great as long as you can keep them dry.. I coat the contacts in liquid electrical tape and they last me for a couple of years. They're easy to replace when I need to..

    I had a rotating switch before (which was a dimmer) and the post broke off (plastic... WHY???). Broan OEM replacement was going to be $176. This works perfectly and was really easy to use as a replacement. I like the toggle switch MUCH BETTER than the original rotating know.
