replacement toggle switch for Ernie Ball Music Man guitar?

[appar111]

Does anyone know where I can get an Ernie Ball Music Man style toggle switch? The ones that are all metal with the thicker switch and are much stiffer—I’m looking to replace a toggle switch on an EVH Wolfgang Special so that I don’t bump the darned thing so easily (which I find myself doing a lot) and the EBMM ones seem super robust and rugged compared to the typical Gibson style toggle that the EVH uses.

Does anyone here have a part number from Mouser or something for the type of switch that EBMM uses?

Can you just get a replacement from EB?

Since he's not replacing something on a Music Man guitar, it's highly unlikely.

Ernie's use a modded Dimarzio ep1111 3 way 4 pole switch with their own added chipboard (so that you don't have to solder on the normal legs)

Dimarzio

They are around $35

Here is one from my Petrucci EBMM

I removed last week. It works perfectly. I bought the Dimarzio standard one as I couldn't figure how to wire Seymour Duncan Blackouts to the chipboard. My Petrucci is now active

I'll be happy to post the Ernie switch to you if you pay for postage and the postage is cheaper the the Dimarzio switch. I'm based in Sydney Australia

Cool, so the Dimarzio switch and the actual EB one are the same? I think I can just get a wiring diagram from Dimarzio for the EP1111 (just 2 humbuckers, each wired in series). Might be easier than trying to figure out the EBMM circuit board (especially if I'm mixing Duncan and Dimarzio in the same guitar-- the wire color coding might get confusing.

thanks for the offer on the EBMM one though!

My pleasure

The Dimarzio switch was alot easier to figure out.

Good luck
