Fender American 5-Position 4-Pole Stratocaster / Telecaster Discrete Pickup Selector

Hybrid 5-Way Pickup Switching for US HSS Stratocaster Setups

The Fender American 5-Position 4-Pole Stratocaster / Telecaster Discrete Pickup Selector is a genuine Fender replacement switch for compatible guitar electronics work. It is suited to players and repairers maintaining or restoring more advanced HSS pickup switching layouts.

This five-position blade selector uses a hybrid design, with a standard 5-way switch on one side and a “super switch” style blade on the other. Its 4-pole layout gives the switching flexibility required for compatible US HSS Stratocaster circuits, including models that typically feature an S-1 system.

It is used on American Pro, American Elite and American Ultra HSS Stratocaster models. White and black switch tips are included, along with mounting hardware for installation.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this selector is best for techs and Strat players replacing a specialised Fender HSS switch while keeping the correct multi-position pickup switching function.
