Noisy

Arne Haaning 26.06.2019

I was dissatisfied with the original switch on my Ibanez S5EX1 - it was quite noisy, and only fair, I thought, as the guitar was preowned by a professional mucician
I installed a we weeks back, and to my disbelief, this one is even worse.
I'm unaware if the noise comes with the design, but if you don't like a scratching sound when shifting between PUPs - stay a way from this design, at least.
As my Uncle used to say: "Cheap comes at a price!".
So my recommendation is to spend the extra 5 € and buy a Schaller or similar.

An inexpensive switch, but there is a nuance

killdroID 27.02.2025

I purchased this switch to replace the old one, which had problems with the end positions (installed on a Harley Benton). In particular, the old switch had a missing signal in the bridge position.
After installing this switch, everything worked well, but a similar problem appeared, but in a neck position. I assume that these switches have the same problems and they are installed on all ST-style Harley Bentons.
In general, it's a good inexpensive switch, which has a service life of about a year (maximum one and a half).

After 6 months it is already broken. In the beginning it did well but after that it doesn't switch well to another pick up.

Report

Regular strat 5-way switch

JeromeReuff 07.05.2019

If you intend to wire your guitar up like a strat, this 5-way switch will do the job. Pay attention this does not match alternative wirings with parallel, splitting and so on.
