CRL 3-Way Pickup Selector Blade Switch w/Mounting Screws

I just rewired my Fender Telecaster, and this switch works as expected. The design hasn't changed in a million years, but it still works. The only drawback is that they don't include mounting screws.

The snap between pickup positions is so solid that the amp picks it up sometimes. This might bother some but it feels great to me.

It's priced about 8 bucks less off Amazon so it does get nicked a tad IMO for that but its likely the Prime shipping kicking the price upstairs as is often the case. If thats no matter to you (as it was when my OEM unit took a dump unexpectedly), I found this switching unit to have far better and crisper detents in the throw. I like that.

CRL switches are the gold standard. Made in the USA, and they have been the longevity to last a very long time. I like that this snaps into each position securely.

I’ve seen other reviews that mention this but I am going to reiterate: The lack of wiring instructions and a selector tip is not ideal, hence why I gave it 4 stars. It is a quality switch though. However, I did some cross-referencing online and found similar switches. In my research I found out how to wire the switch along with some trial and error which is shown in the picture above.Use the picture for reference when wiring this switch into your PRS. The thicker black ground wire is not used on this switch so you can simply disconnect it from the old switch and cap off the end like I did. I used a piece of shrink wrap and pinched the end after heating to close it up. As for the other wires, the thinner black wire goes to the upper left post while the thinner white wire goes to the bottom right post. The bottom left and the one next to it at connected through with a piece of additional wire to the upper right post and the one next to that (see pictures). To that string of wired posts, the thicker red wire from the potentiometer can be soldered to it.I will say this may not be the 100% correct way to wire the switch but it does work. You can (probably) also flip the switch around 180 degrees so the spring is on the opposite side as the wiring harness.As for the Spector switch tip/cap, I found that a Squier stratocaster tip fits on perfectly. I happened to have one laying around. The color is ever so slightly different but if you didnt’t know it was different you couldn’t tell. You could (probably) also file down the side of the switch so the PRS one fits.The mounting screws from the old switch will fit with a little force (you won’t ruin the threads but it does squish them a little). Despite that, the switch can still be easily removed.Hope this helps anyone who is wondering if this works for the PRS guitars.

My 2021 Player Telecaster's 3 way switch went bad!! This switch fixed the problem and feels much more solid in comparison to the old switch.Tip for folks new to doing this.... Easy to wire up. Watch a few Youtube videos on installation and soldering and you can install this with no problem.

Great product and a simple installation if you know what you're doing. It doesn't come with a tip so make sure you order that! I purchased the Genuine Fender Stratocaster Switch Tips at this link and they fit perfectly:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005MHHGZS?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

This is the right switch if you're replacing a broken or sub-par component. Great company, great quality. Installed in my PRS and it works like a dream. Feels amazing. No issues. Many thanks to the seller for listing these.

Este selector es ideal para potencial el poder de pastillas que no sean económicas. Cambié las pastillas a unas Seymour Duncan y este selector si que hace el cambio, se nota la electrónica.
