Smooth Switching. Reliable Performance. Improved Korean Quality.

Upgrade your guitar's switching system with the Alpha Lever-Style Pickup Selector Switch—an enhanced version of the stock blade switches commonly found in guitars made in Japan, Korea, Indonesia, and China. This improved Korean-made model offers better build, quieter operation, and long-term reliability for both 3-way and 5-way wiring configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is this better than the typical stock switch in my guitar?
A: Yes. This is the improved version of Alpha switches made in Korea—built for smoother operation and better durability than common OEM switches.

Q: Will this fit my guitar?
A: If your guitar was made in Asia (Korea, Japan, China, Indonesia), this is likely a direct fit. For US-made guitars, check the mounting screw spacing and cavity fit.

Q: Can I use the 5-way version with humbuckers?
A: Not this one. For dual humbuckers and advanced wiring options, check out our 5-way HH switch (Ibanez 2502N style).

Q: Are there wiring diagrams available?
A: Yes. You can check our website or message us directly—we’re happy to guide you.

Q: Can this Alpha 5-way selector switch be used with an Ibanez RG 350 DX with an HSH configuration?
A: Yes, this switch can work if your Ibanez RG 350 DX has a standard-sized switch cavity and you're doing a basic HSH 5-way wiring. However, for Ibanez-style switching with coil-splitting or advanced configs, we recommend the Ibanez 2502N-style 5-way HH switch for best results. Message us if you're unsure—we can help confirm fit and wiring options.
