Fender 250K Split-Shaft S-1 Switch

Fender 250K Split-Shaft S-1 Switch

The Fender 250K Split-Shaft S-1 Switch is the same switching system Fender added to its American and American Deluxe Series guitars and basses in 2003. It puts a 4-stage switch into a 250K control, so you can add new tones to your guitar or bass without drilling any extra holes.

The S-1 can be wired several ways, depending on what you want it to do. Run it as SPST for a simple on/off function, as DPDT for a coil tap, or as 4PDT to tap both coils on a dual-humbucker guitar. It also pairs well with the Fender Stratocaster 5-Position “Super” Switch (Fender p/n 0992251000) for more pickup combinations than a standard Strat offers. The split shaft takes push-on knobs only, and the knob and cap are sold separately.

Whether you’re upgrading a Strat, adding coil taps to a humbucker guitar, or building more range into a bass, the S-1 Switch is an easy way to get more out of the instrument you already have. Order today from Brian’s Guitars, your authorized Fender dealer.
