Fender Strat Style Pus/Push Switch

[Ursupator]

Hi.

I'm planing on building a Partscaster right now.

In my local guitar shop I had my hands on a Fender Deluxe Strat with this little push/push switch that engages the bridge pu in all positions.

I really like the idea and since all options for normal push pull pots are already used by other functions.

Now my problem: What switches are those?
I didn't find anything that looks like this switch in hardware or music stores.


Here's a video from fender that shows a guitar with the switch:

I think you mean an S 1 switch

EDIT

Oh they moved the button to the top of the pot knob

Hang on

They are maintained or self locking as Ebay describes them

NOT Momentary!!!

I could only find black and red in the two minutes that I searched

I'm sure you can find whatever color you want with some digging

The linked ones are 7 mm
That refers to the size of the head not the hole it needs for installation

Yes, they are S1 switches, and I believe they are only available from Fender dealers. It is a really elegant way do switching on guitars, but they are sort of expensive (for guitar switches).

Yeah this one
I was hard to find for me cause I don't have any idea about electronics. And I don't search for it in english, but german.
Thanks now I know what I have to look for.

You mean this little one between the tone knobs, right?

Look here:

”DPDT Push-Push Switch”

There is the switch, the little black mounting and you need the switch cap as well.

Look here for more details:
