Schaller Toggle Switch Knob SAE 8-32 — Replacement Tip for Gibson-Style Pickup Selectors

The Schaller Toggle Switch Knob SAE 8-32 in Nickel is a factory-grade replacement tip for the three-way pickup selector on electric guitars and basses. Machined from solid brass and finished in nickel, it restores a clean look to an instrument whose original tip has been lost, cracked, or worn smooth from years of play. This knob is the right choice for players restoring a Gibson Les Paul, SG, or any guitar wired with a Switchcraft-style toggle that uses the imperial SAE 8-32 thread.

Why This Knob Stands Out

Unlike generic push-on tips that loosen over time, this replacement screws directly onto the toggle shaft for a permanent, wobble-free fit. The brass core gives it real weight in the hand, and the nickel plating matches the hardware on most vintage-style and modern Gibson instruments. Schaller offers the same design in five finishes — Nickel, Chrome, Black, Gold, and Ruthenium — so the tip can be matched to the rest of the instrument's hardware.

Thread Specification — Fits Imperial SAE 8-32 Toggle Shafts

The SAE 8-32 thread is the standard imperial thread on Gibson-style and Switchcraft toggle switches. Confirm the switch uses this imperial thread rather than the metric M4 variant before ordering, as the two thread standards are not interchangeable.

• Thread: SAE 8-32 imperial — direct screw-on fit for Gibson / Switchcraft toggle shafts
• Compatible with LP-style electric guitars and basses fitted with SAE 8-32 toggle switches
• Installation: Screw-on — no set screw or adhesive required

Compact Footprint — 4 g of Solid Brass

At only 4 grams, this knob adds no meaningful weight to the instrument. The 13.9 mm height and 7.9 mm width give the fingertip enough surface area to flip the switch confidently during performance.

Brass Body with Nickel-Plated Finish

The brass construction provides the density and feel of an original factory tip, while the nickel plating resists corrosion and matches the nickel hardware on most production guitars.
