Toggle Switch Hat

Post by Nubs »

I'm thinking of changing out the black pickup selector hat on my Bluesboy with another color, probably either white or cream. Where would I be able to get one?

Thanks in advance!

G&L uses the same switches as other Fender-type guitar builders do. So there should be lots of stores, where you may get one. ;)

Yes, there are cream ones, refrigerator-white ones and then there are refrigerator-white ones dunked in some unmilked tea for a bit, which might be my preference.
That's here in UK, so USA should be no problem.
Also, be aware that there are USA-type and Far-Eastern-type switch lever sizes, and they're not compatible. Check first.
It would be neat if there were pearloid ones, but I'm almost certain that they don't exist. I like my very-lightly-tea-tinted white one with my pearl guard Z3 though.

Yes, but the lefty ones are nearly impossible to get :D

Can't you just put 'em on backwards?

Yes, but the pickups would be out of phase then :eh:

I found 2 different ones off eBay I liked, so I bought them both. Gonna try each one out to see which one works better.

Thanks again!
