(measure the switch blade they slide onto - also they are genuine fender items made in japan) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant *by A***R on 12 March 2019* A significantly better fit than the one that came on my Telecaster from the factory - this one isn't coming off anytime soon! No more crawling around on the floor looking for it... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not 'Vintage Correct' for a 60's Tele, But SOLID, not hollow! *by R***S on 3 October 2015* Despite the nifty(?) French description from Rich-Tone, and the fact that these, genuine Fender parts (as fitted to a 1950s era Tele) are not 'Vintage Correct' for a 1960s reissue version, they are, at least, as can be seen from the left-hand image, a solid moulding!The modern genuine Fender 'Top Hat' switch tip, see attached pic, as fitted to all current production Fenders U.S. (and Mexican) 1960s-style Tele have a large, material (and money!) saving, hole (where THIS version has a slot in solid plastic) with two minute plastic 'wings' projecting into the hole to grip the metal blade of the switch.Result: In general use, when performing, or if you need to remove the switch tip for any reason (maintenance, pickup swapping or whatever) upon refitting, one, or both of these microscopically thin 'wings' will fail; so you are left with a hole in the bottom of your switch tip (which needs to fit onto a small flat piece of metal) that is almost big enough to accept the end of a pencil! There is no way to, effectively, 'pack out' this large hole to enable the tip to grip the metal blade.Clearly Fender are aware of this, as they always supply replacements in (handy?) packs of two. And, over a period of 12 or more years I have had to buy at least 2 of these packs, for the reasons stated above.NO MORE! Inexplicably, for around the same price Fender can supply this '1950s' version made, as stated and shown above, from solid plastic.Should the switch tip become loose on the blade, as small piece of PTFE plumbers tape (a 'staple' requriement for any Fender Strat owner too) or paper, jammed in the slot will do the trick.50s Tele? 60s Tele? Fit this version and solve the problem.(Too much 'guitar nut' rambling? ...... OK.
