Description: Few things scream punk rock like metal spikes and studs. Punk is an attitude—an aggressive mix of rebellion and alienation, coupled with angst, intelligence and social commentary. This switch tip captures the essence of punk in a statement of defiance wrapped in the simple eloquence of an attractive guitar accessory, which is an immediately recognizable symbol of the movement. This gunmetal black, nickel plated, solid steel switch tip will look great on most stock guitars or other projects where tarnished embellishments are needed to set off a custom relic design. Ni57 Punk Rock Switch Tip fits the SAE 8-32 thread size, which is compatible with guitars using Switchcraft toggle switches or other USA thread switches. Gibson Les Paul Standard and Traditional models usually come with SAE 8-32 threaded switches. The Ni57 switch tip WILL NOT fit Epiphone Les Pauls with metric thread switches; some Gibson Studio and Tribute models use a metric toggle switch as well—metric M4x0.7 and SAE 8-32 are the same diameter but have a different thread pitch. THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE. If you have one of these models please check before ordering—I have a similar spike switch tip for metric M4 threads in another EBay listing, listed under: Ni58 Punk Rock Spike, Les Paul Style, Nickel Switch Tip (4M x 0.7 Metric) Here is how you can figure out which switch you need: If you are not sure of the threading on your switch, then go to your neighborhood hardware store and purchase the smallest pack of zinc SAE 8-32 nuts you can find. I got this pack of nuts, in photo #8, Home Depot for $1.18. Unscrew your switch tip and try to thread the nut onto your switch. There are only three types of threads you will find: SAE 8-32 will be the correct diameter and will thread all of the way on. This is the correct with tip. Order the Ni57 from this listing! 4M x 0.7 Metric will be the correct diameter, but will NOT thread onto the switch—DO NOT force it. This is the wrong switch tip. Order the Ni58 from this other Ebay listing: Ni58 Punk Rock Spike, Les Paul Style, Nickel Switch Tip (4M x 0.7 Metric) 3.5M x 0.6 Metric will be a smaller diameter and will slide down the shaft. I DO NOT have a switch tip that fits this thread style, so do not purchase from either of the listings. Purchasing a pack of nuts is certainly inconvenient and will cost an extra dollar or so, but it’s better than purchasing an incorrect switch tip. This switch tip will come with a removable 1/4”Diameter x 1/8”Length aluminum spacer—to be used if your particular switch has a higher rim/nut or lower threads. The spacer looks cool with this switch, but can be omitted if the bottom of the switch tip clears the rim/nut. Dimensions: Switch Tip: Length: 0.94” (24mm) Width: 0.35” (9mm) Aluminum Spacer: Diameter: 1/4” (6mm) Length: 1/8” (3mm) Each unit is finished and packaged in Fenton, Missouri. Made in the USA.
