Questions & Answers
David, how are you today? The first one I bought was buzzing and popping and didn't stop the sound from playing every time I pressed the button, but the second one I bought worked perfectly. Because of my experience, I can only assume that some of them are defective, but when you find one that works well, it's a great addition to your hookup.
I'm not sure, and I'm not in the mood to go back and check. However, I couldn't screw the nut on because it was too short for my guitar. However, because I had purchased a set of Foster bits, I ended up using a larger one to create a ressesed hole for the nut to fit into.
Yes, you'll have to make that hole bigger.
I'm 100 sure, but I believe the port for your Les Paul is smaller than the kill switch diameter of your kill switch diameter of your kill switch diameter of your For installation of this switch, I had to modify or drill a hole near my volume and tone knobs. My guitar looks fantastic with it.

When installing a kill switch, keep in mind that you will need to drill a hole in something. If you have a strat, the pickguard most likely has room for it. Otherwise, you'll have to pierce your guitar with a rather large hole. br>I installed it in a cheap guitar, and it works perfectly. You will need to drill a fairly large hole, but installation is straightforward after that. You can do it in a couple of ways: do your homework, one wiring makes it silent, the other makes it sound like you're unplugging the chord every time you use it, so it pops quite loudly. br>The Alpinetech switch is responsive and firm, but it's still simple to operate. It's stylish, and I've found myself using it more than I expected. This is my first kill switch, so I can't comment on how it compares to others; however, it does exactly what I need it to do.
I was let down by it. It works similarly to a switch in that when you depress it, it clicks. So it's not the "light touch" type I had anticipated. It wasn't the sellers' fault; however, they should have done more research. The next one will be made of plastic. A normal player wouldn't be able to peck 32nd notes or even 16ths with this one.
I hope. Unfortunately, despite having this professionally installed, I am unable to overcome two issues: 1) the amount of travel required for the switch to engage (approximately 3/32") is far too great to be musical and follow the tempo (it also takes a long time to bounce back), and 2) unless the switch seats perfectly when pushed down, there is static and no clear break in the signal.
It's adequate for the situation at hand. However, if you have a high-end guitar, spend a little more money and get a nice one! br>You'll also need to drill a large hole in your guitar for this one.
In my knockoff V from the 1980s, it works perfectly.
It was a fantastic switch; it worked flawlessly, and unlike other killswitches, it didn't require any soldering. It looks great and is very responsive on my guitar.
OK, nice switch, but keep in mind that NO stands for normally open or normally closed, so keep that in mind when installing it. There will be no sound until you depress it; I'd like a switch that has sound but interrupts it when you depress it.
