Anybody know where to get the same 3 way switch Fender uses on the La Carbonita? You know, the metal tipped 3 way toggle.

La Cabronita

sorry can't help you on the switch but had NEVER heard of that one before so it was interesting finding out about it.

That's not the right switch. It uses a normal Gibson style 3 way selector switch on the 2 pickup model, like this one:

Nut looks better (correct) and cheaper too.

Would you have to keep it under your hat that you used a GIBSON switch ??

:shock:

Since Gibson doesn't actually make switches, I'm sure the TDPRI crowd won't be too hard on him.

It's Switchcraft, and we generally like Switchcraft stuff :-)
