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.

Great product
I bought 2. One for my Les Paul and the other for my 58 Explorer reissue. Looks great! No seam and vintage color. I didn’t like the Gibson ones as the color was more orange.

Nice Les Paul Upgrade
The tip went on really easily and is a nice detail for a historic look

Catalin switch tip
This is the same exact switch tip that is on the 2020- present Gibson Murphy lab Historic Les Pauls. Just like the old original tips there are No seams or molding lines and it is made of catalin as described. Highly recommended.

Best on the market, period!
When I saw one negative feedback review of this product I thought, "What's going on?" I've purchase a couple of these and I find them to be perfect in every way. I am very familiar with vintage Catalin, being an antique collector. This is the real deal and it is the best rendition of the original Switchcraft version from the 1950's that I have encountered. I've been a Philadelphia Luthier Tools customer for many years, and they only sell the best! The quality and selection is second to none.

catalin togle switch tip
the image shows a great looking amber somewhat polished no seam switch tip. what you get is a mauve/dark tan/light brown, dull looking, no seam item that makes me think of using a black one. that's one out of three/two out of five. wish i'd saved my money
