Catalin Toggle Switch Knob
I recall a while ago someone saying that if you dropped catalin on a table it would make a "plink" sound. A non-catalin piece would make a "plunk" sound. This item goes "plink".

Vintage correct Catalin switch tip
Absolutely the best on the market, and for a very reasonable price. Nearly indistinguishable from the ones on the vintage Gibsons I've owned. Thank you!!

Perfect fit!
This switch tip fit perfectly on my 2019 USA standard. Instantly improved the tone on my neck pickup, more clarity while retaining the warmth.

VINTAGE CORRECT CATALIN TOGGLE SWITCH KNOB FOR GIBSON® LES PAUL US SIZE - AMBER
Really looks the part! I grew up playing second hand 50s/60s Gibsons in music shops and I’d forgotten how much care was taken in the 50s and attention to detail. NO seam lines! Seems to become transparent in the sun… Definitely not plastic!!

Great Catalin Toggle Switch Tip
Great quality switch tip at a very good price! It is the real thing! Prompt international shipping. I am very happy, thank you!

Finally an accurate affordable amber tip
Looks great and very natural to the Custom Shop Gibson. Could you find slightly "better@ yes? Will it cost you 5-10 times more

Very satisfying touch.
I have a 2008 Les Paul I’ve been restoring and wanted to add this switch tip knob. It’s a tough piece and goes on perfectly to a genuine Switchcraft switch. Highly recommend!

Catalin switch tip
This switch tip is an Exact duplicate of what is on the Custom shop Murphy lab Gibson's. The color hue in person is NOT the same as pictured. in person the color is less amber/orange and more beige or tan. I don't hold Philadelphia Luthier tools at fault for this. Colors always look different is photo's.
