Bryan's Take: Personal experience here. In February, I replaced a switch in a guitar with a lesser version of these. By November it had already broken from bedroom playing by a meticulously gentle player. Seriously, for a few extra dollars, this switch will last years longer. We won't carry the cheaper versions because you won't be happy with them. 

Not all switch tips will fit these, but this selection will.The tips that do not fit are generally found on import guitar such as Epiphones

If you have an imported instrument, these switches are likely better in build quality but may not fit exactly like the original switch. Check the measurements below for best fit information.
