Gibson Gear PRTK-020 Electric Guitar Part

We all know that the SG's and Les Paul's of those vintage years had amber switch tips and that they look AWESOME. It's so funny, just the slightest of modifications makes your guitar look very different. I put this on my sunburst Les Paul Trad Pro and I'll never go back to the white tip.However, I should note that when I pointed this out to my fiance and parents, they hardly noticed. So, only get this if you are doing it for yourself, and your own notions of what you what in your guitar. I personally love the idea of playing an instrument that traces it's origins back to Bloomfield, Duane Allman, Clapton, and the like, and I want a little touch that harkens back to that era - - so it works for me!

I recently got a Les Paul Traditional that I wanted to make some minor cosmetic changes to give it a more vintage feel. One of the changes was the switch tip. For some reason, Gibson uses creme plastics and binding but then gives you a glowing white switch tip. I thought about soaking the tip in coffee to darken it up but figured I'd go with the one that's already dark from the factory. There are plenty of other options out there for tips and they don't make a ton of difference but I like the little details.

When I bought my Classic White 1991 SG Standard, it had a black pickup switch cover that only covered about half the thread. After learning that white is the stock pickup switch cover color on Classic White SGs, I decided to replace mine with a white one. I was apprehensive after reading about fit issues in other reviews, but I took a chance and bought one anyway. As the photo shows, it fits perfectly, covering the whole thread. So if you have an SG, this is the right pickup switch cover.

I bought this switch for my Epiphone Sheriton II thinking a little part like this would be sorta universal as far as Gibson and Epiphone go... Not true. Thing looks awesome, and I'm sure with a little handy work you could get it to work... Maybe. Out of the package though, it wont. If you have a Gibson, go for it. Its rad. Epiphone on the other hand is a no go. Trust the comments unlike myself. It ain't gonna fit! I'm still giving it 5 stars because it is what its supposed to be, the fault was my own judgement.

This was a direct replacement for the black plastic tip on my lp studio. Works fine, looks great. No issues going on a year!

Didn’t fit on my Epiphone like expected but I did use it on my Jackson.

It doesn't fit my Les Paul SG. I really don't see why a simple part such as this must come in different screw sizes. Stupid on both parts. Stupid Gibson for not standarizing the toggle switch screw size for the knob and stupid me for not seeing that coming.

i wanted to change out the cream tips on a couple of my SGs with black tips. The first tip I purchased was not a Gibson part and did not fit ( it might have worked on a Epiphone). It was a smaller diameter & threads didn't work.. Since then I have bought 2 of these Gibson tips and they are perfect. Buy Gibson for your Gibson!

I upgraded the switch in my Epi and the new one only had black/white knobs, whereas the old one was orange. This is nowhere close to the same colour (much less saturated) but it fits the switch so it's good enough for me.Is it worth £5? Clearly the material and machining only merit a tenth that cost. The rest is the humongous packaging it came in (and the brand-name, packaging looked legit although wastefully oversized).

Gibson quality original product

for a switch tip of plastic.. god damn america, and everyone who enables them.

Great legitimate product. Great color option. Fits my 99 les Paul perfectly

Fits perfectly. Used on an American LP so no problem. Unfortunately if you have a Japanese Epiphone or LP copy the measurements will be out as metric system may be in use.
