Long Shaft Toggle Switches?

[tbonesullivan]

So, I've got two hamers (special and a newport) that have aftermarket switches, and another that needs a new switch tip, so I figured having a few around would be good. However, I have not been able to find the long switch tip toggle switches anywhere. I checked allparts, parts express, switchcrafts home page, etc etc.

help?

it is an exclusive tip for the switchcraft right angle dbl pole switch, like what is used

on a Gibson 1275 dbl neck. part # 12015X

I would contact Kim Keller, See if He could round you up a couple of... maybe...

Funny, I cut all mine down to the usual height!

Thanks for the info! Now, they don't have standard knurled nuts on the top. What kind of tool do I need to tighten these?

Also, did the hamer newports come with these larger switches, or no? Mine is from 2000 and appears to have a "normal" switch.

If you have no luck with Switchcraft, try Rickenbacker spares.

hmmm... the switches do in fact look surprisingly like rickenbacker switches.

also, looking at the 12015X, it's a double pole double throw. I just popped the back off my eclipse, which has the correct switch, and it's definitely a single pole single throw.

Resurrecting an old thread, just for information.

I just bought a ric tip and it does fit my USA Vector Korina.
