CRL 5-Way Switch

Many times I have tried different switching pickups. It has always worked, but sooner or later problems arose. Mostly different noise or popping when switching pickups. And I have tried those switches really a lot from various productions, even the more expensive ones. Here at Thomann, I also found the Göldo US003 CRL 3-Way Switch and the Göldo US005 CRL 5-Way Switch and I probably found the right one, it works as I imagined. I am very pleased with this choice. If someone needs to replace the switch, they will not make a mistake when selecting Göldo.

Used to replace an already high quality Oak Grigsby type switch, this is even better feeling.
Nice, with no play or noise.

Please note that mine came with an aged white tip.

I replaced my original fender switch 2 years ago because the contacts were not working consistently, generating noise and sometimes not closing at all the circuit. After cleaning continuously with a proper spray product I decided to change it. Since I changed: not a problem. Perfect! Reliable and mechanically interchangeable with the original Stratocaster .

It’s a switch. Nothing more.
Just this switch is quiet. No popping, no cracking in the sound.
Reason good enough to pay a bit more and buy quality.

Used several Goldo switches as replacements for old worn-out ones.
Generally I used many type of spare parts from Goldo because they tend to have a consistent quality level on the market
PROS
Works smoothly, no unwanted noises
Quite inexpensive
CONS
Would like to have a little more solid part in the soldering area

The switch snaps into position with a solid and firm click, with no play. 5-way switches are always fiddly. At least this one feels firm, unlike the stock switch in my Classic Series Strat, which jiggles.

I got myself this 5-way switch to complete a custom built pickguard with 3 pickups (HSH).
This product is very well built. Looks robust and operates flawlessly. It's been now several months since I installed it on my guitar and is has yet to fail a single time - and I use it a lot!

Easy to solder, easy to install, easy to operate. I would buy it again without hesitation.

I've tried a lot of cheaper replacement switches but they all inevitably fail pretty quickly under regular use. This, on the other hand, is a high quality switch with a very positive feel to it and heavy contacts making soldering a breeze.

Classic 5-way switch for stratocaster wiring. Highest quality and beautiful look. Works smoothly and without any noise. Highly recommended.
