I was really impressed by these kill switches after inspecting/using one, they have a couple of useful features which I'll touch on in a moment, that make them great for guitar mods. I am now a UK authorised dealer for Tesi Switch and you'll find a great selection of their kill switches here in stock at the Home of Tone!
Important note - This particular listing is for the 24mm DITO arcade button kill switch with snap-in mounting, which is suitable for thin tops or pickguards only.
People often ask, what is the fastest kill switch you have? It's this one. The DITO has the lightest spring available in any Tesi Switch. As an arcade switch, it's designed to be pounded over and over to make sure you have the speed, accuracy and endurance to defeat your enemies. Under constant abuse, this switch will take 10,000,000 (ten million) hits.

These are nice and easy to install, two solder connections required but if you have any concerns about installing I highly recommend having a skilled guitar repairer to carry out the install for you to save any issues caused. Some useful fitting instructions can be found HERE. Or alternatively, if you are local, then I am more than happy to carry out professional installation here. Please check out the Guitar Services page HERE
It is supplied with 8" of black and white pre-soldered wire length, so you simply solder the other end of the wire in it's desired position (jack + and point of ground for example) and mount the switch.
This switch can be used with active or passive pickups with no additional parts required.
