SORTED - mini toggle switches in black

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know where I can buy a mini toggle switch (DPDT on-on) in black instead of chrome? Like the one in the picture (from Stewmac in the US). I've scoured the web and all the regular UK guitar parts suppliers but can only find them in chrome. Any suggestions gratefully received! Thanks

Hmm... you could always get a black cover for a chrome one...

bit expensive though..

[url="http://www.luthierssupplies.co.uk/"]http://www.luthierssupplies.co.uk/[/url] has them in black chrome
Look under Pickup selector switches then micro switches for coil switching

Thanks bartelby. The ebay and Allparts switches have flat/rectangular section toggles, I'd prefer a slim round toggle (like the Stewmac pic) to match what it's replacing. The WD one is close but the only black one they do is three way on-off-on - I'm after a two-way on-on. No pic on the Luthiers Supplies page so I'll give them a call and investigate further. Cheers

Just called Luthiers Supplies, they have no stock of the black DPDT micro switch and none on order. Apparently source them from Japan and delivery takes several months!

So still looking ...

I thought it was a bit too easy!

Eureka! I rang WD Music and they also have the on-on version in black and in stock. Link below for anyone who wants to bookmark it for future ref:

Why not just order it from Stewmac, then? They estimate four days delivery to the UK.

That's using DHL Express which costs $25, about three times what the switch costs!. Regular USPS delivery is $10 and takes 2-4 weeks.
