late to the Rutter's parts thing ,but this is genius

Rutter makes great stuff, great ideas and flawless machining. I've bought a lot of his stuff and have never been disappointed.

 

$25?

Yikes. An entire switch is half that price.

 

Göldo has been doing since the 90s but still a great idea..at a MUCH better price...

They used to do an "art deco" one too but I can't seem to find it anymore,anyway here's a pick from a tele I built almost 20 years ago with it

 

I've bought several of his compensated saddles. Out the 3 I've tried, Rutters, Glendale and Callaham, Rutters are my favorite. I've thought about buying that chrome switch tip but I don't really like changing things like that, that changes the appearance of simple tele things.

 

Peegoo's suggestion with the crimps works very well and you can keep the original switch tip.

 

The genius is knowing that some people need to spend too much on something in order to feel like they made the best choice, and realizing that a disproportionate amount of guitar players fall into that category.

Well, I suppose it would be genius if Stewmac and a hundred other companies hadn't figured it out first...

 

Well I'm not gonna sneer--I tried to put a Fender vintage-style tip on a cheapo 3-way Tele switch and the plastic tip broke. I can probably glue it and use it on a "proper" switch but meanwhile I'm living with the silly cheap tip that came with the silly cheap switch--at least they go together properly.

 

Amen, Brother.
I've got 6 Teles and enjoy that they are all different. Rutters, Callaham, El Dorado, Ron Kirn, Wilkenson, Electrosocket, switchcraft,...Not to mention necks, bodies, and pickups. Have fun with it. You don't get to experience these things if you just plunk down on a new CS or Masterbuilt.
