Harley Benton Parts Grigsby 5 way Switch

Well, I don't really like no name brand products because I had bad experience with them in quality wise. Sometimes at the end they cost more then if you buy the proper more expensive stuff for only once.
So as a beginning I had a mixed feelings with this 5way switch. I read the reviews and they convinced me this would be fine for my needs.
My decision was right.
This switch is actually nothing less in quality than the more expensive original Fender one. It feels robust, it looks massive and it is physically well built.
It was really easy to solder, the lever arm is stiff, the click sounds are very pleasant.
I purchased it to install into my 1989 Charvette 200. Does the job very well, I'm not really gentle when I use the switch but it looks it will last for loooong time......looooong time!
Very happy about this purchase!

I used this into my fernandes decade jazzmaster and it fits perfectly! I was afraid it would have been too big, but that wasn't the case. It's really well build and it doesnt switch too heavy nor too weak. I would recommend this more as can replacement than an upgrade. It works well but its not super quality such as for example Göldo!

Pros:
Cheap
Good working
Smooth switching

Cons:
Not too high quality, but works fine

In short: good as an replacement, works perfectly fine, if you really want some good quality, i would recommend going for an other brand!

Used this to replace the switch in a strat that came with a 3 way. Figured out it would work just as well as the Oak Grisby one, being basically a 1-1 copy.
Well, I had never witnessed a guitar switch failing so badly: after a couple weeks it started to feel loose and would not "click" into position; fast forward a couple more weeks and it came apart completely. It disintegrated beyond repair.
On the positive side, having it all apart was a good opportunity to understand how a switch works :-)
Maybe it was just bad luck and mine was flawed, but I will not cheap out on switches again in the future.
