Switch Tip help

[Carl.B]

Ok I have this older 90's 90's Korean Hamer Eclispe well my son took it off to collage with him. Some how he lost the tip to pickup selector switch. At first I tried the tip from his SG no luck there to big, then the one from a Epi les paul nope to small, then from my 80 special that is to big. So I pull the switch out I figure if I know the brand it should make it easier WRONG! There is no serial number or name on the dam thing. So I bought 3 different ones from GC none of those worked either.

Anybody have an idea what they used in these??? I know I should just replace the dam switch and call it good but this has me pissed off! So being the cheap stubborn ass I am I have to know!

Thanks for any help in advance.

the switch is probably one of these known as a "studio" switch.

different animal when it comes to tips.

you can always tap out the tip and lil bit of hot glue will work wonders

I've seen Switchcraft mentioned on the board before. I coulda sworn someone once said Rickenbacker switch tips are the same (long) size, and same source as Hamer. Black is the only color for these long ones, apparently.

switchcraft. The switch and tip used mostly on Gibson double necks, Huge double pole and throw.

Those import switch tips can be tough to match, you would probably not regret putting a better quality switch in there anyway.
