Stingray 5h....3 way switch

[ebenezer]

Hi folks, i possibly need to replace the switch (will try switch cleaner first).....but failing that, i wondered, is there a uk made version that would work......£25 plus duty and shipping would work out on the pricey side.

Dependent on which version of the SR5H it’s probably worth £1500 if a Musicman rather than an SBMM (more if a post 2018 Special or something v rare (like a fretless or very very rare colour). I’d just buy the OE and swallow the £25 cost tbh, to keep it standard - my 2003 one started to get a bit scratchy at one time - I simply moved it back and forth swiftly a few times and it’s been perfectly ok for the fifteen years or so since - thinking back I probably affected it when I changed the pickguard 🫢

Cheers, mine is a 2003 model.... will try the switch cleaning method....bridge position and middle position seem ok but nearest the neck cuts out while wiggling the toggle.

Surely any old 3 way blade type switch would do?

Any UK parts supplier will have something suitable - EBMM do not make their own switches!
