No issues at all. It fit perfectly into my Squier guitar and for $10.00, you just can’t go wrong.

These switches are very good quality, but you have to be aware that they are the DM-50 which does not wire up the same as a Switchcraft switch.

Bought 1 of these 2 months ago, didn’t work, it cuts out when going from bridge to the half way to the middle position. I bought another and same thing. I found that the contacts in the switch were not making contact. It’s next to impossible to bend the fragile to make contact. I’m not impressed,

These switches work just fine. as someone previously stated, the configuration isn’t the same as Switchcraft, and some other offshore parts. I usually use Switchcraft parts as a rule, but took a chance on a Solo 5 way, and 3 way for my tele builds, and with definitely use them again.

Decent switch. I find a bit of scratch comes when selecting between positions but otherwise no complaints.

A very nice switch. Yes, the contacts can sometimes need a gentle reminder to go to their ‘proper’ alignment. But you should be checking everything twice before you sew up the patient. My only ‘complaint’ is the metric screws. You are kind of stuck using them. And if your pickguard doesn’t have counter-sunk holes for the screw heads? Tough luck, Charlie. Overall though, a switch I order repeatedly. I still wish it came with two (2) sets of screws (pan head/round head) and two (2) switch tips (white/black). Add another 50¢ to the price. Just a thought.

Designed based on the Japanese made Gotoh DM-50 so a bit different to wire up than your standard 5 way switch so it would be nice if it came with a wiring diagram.
