DiMarzio 5 Way Switch for Stratocaster

The invention of a five-way pickup switch opened up a new world of tonal possibilities and voices on the guitar, as opposed to the rather limited three-option switch that preceded it. Its revolutionary attribute was making it possible for players to eliminate the 60-cycle hum of a single-coil pickup by way of combining a standard pickup with one that was wound in reverse with reverse polarity (RWRP).

We chose this blade-style switch for its tone and feel. Each position in this stout switch translates to the hand with a positive ‘click’ – no more need to look down at your instrument mid-performance to determine which of your pickups is selected. This switch's precision is accomplished through careful machining and a universal tension cam that replaces the spring found on most other blade switches.

Whether you’re replacing a defective switch, building a new instrument, or just in the market for an upgrade, DiMarzio’s switches are an improvement that you will both hear and feel.
