Don't be lured by copy-cat's of our
original design by their somewhat lower cost, we've been
doing this for over 14 years and others want to hone
in on our original creativity and are offering cheap
clones, we know how it's done and how to do it right...
Others are simulating this design with thin tin or thin
aluminum sheet metal material, this skimping on the
material makes it much easier to create the shape,
because they're lazy and cheap and in effect reduces
this bracket's strength and rigidity and allows theirs
to flex easily when activating the switch.
We fabricate each of these recessed
switch mounting brackets in our shop in Stockton,
California.
Our custom stainless steel recessed toggle switch
mounting bracket allows you to mount the mini-toggle
switch used for the neck pickup switching modification
in your Strat® style guitar with ease.
This bracket is 0.030" thick which allows it to
mount directly under the volume and tone potentiometer
with the stainless material creating a sturdy platform
for the switch mounting. With this kit you can covertly mount
the mini-toggle switch under the pickguard and have only
a portion of the toggle lever protrude through the
pickguard for a sleek, unobtrusive Black Strat® custom
styling. No more chrome hex nuts and flat washers on the
top side of your pickguard holding your mini-toggle switch in place, which
is bland, uncreative and not unique by any means. This
kit keeps the switch out of the way and prevents
accidental switching without your knowledge, when this
switch is flipped it is intentional, not accidental, you
can't bump this one with a knuckle. Simply route the
recessed mini-toggle switch slot in your favorite
pickguard and assemble.
The item includes the stainless steel recessed mini-toggle switch mounting bracket, a SPST on/off mini toggle switch
along with the Black Strat® wiring
diagram and pickguard routing instructions which will be sent to you via email after
your order has been invoiced. The mounting holes in which the potentiometers
fasten this bracket in place are 3/8" in diameter and
fit a standard Fender® Stratocaster® specification pickguard. This kit
does NOT include the pickguard,
knobs, switch tip, potentiometers, 5-way
pickup selector switch or screws as pictured above,
they are for reference and illustration purposes only.
We also offer other pickguard kits if you are not up to the
routing of your own pickguard, they are items #4031,
#4031P and
#4035.
 IMPORTANT:
This bracket and switch kit is
NOT a
replacement for any of our Black Strat® pickguard
assemblies or pickguard kits which include a pre-routed
pickguard, such as
#4031P,
#4031 or #4035,
this bracket and switch are slightly different by
design. So keep this in mind if you've purchased
our #4031P, #4031 or #4035 kits or assemblies, there are differences
between switch types and required slot lengths routed in
the pickguard. This bracket is sold solely as a
stand-alone item where you are required to route the
small slot in your pickguard in the correct location and to the
dimensions (0.300" x 0.125") according to the
specifications of the bracket and SPST on/off switch
type. We cannot accept your pickguard to route the
mini-toggle switch slot. If for any reason you are
unable to perform the routing in your pickguard you
cannot request to purchase one of our Acrylic Gilmour
Black Strat pickguards with the pre-cut mini-toggle
switch slot to use with this bracket, it won't work.
This bracket and switch kit is
NOT designed to be
used with a 5-way Super switch or any two wafer selector
switch, those switches are wider and will interfere with
the switch mounting bracket.
