Harley Benton Parts T-Style Switch Knob BK
Harley Benton Parts T-Style Switch Knob BK
I bought a year 2000 Fender "Baja" telecaster and it arrived missing the switch tip, I usually wouldn't bother with aftermarket parts and would rather buy "genuine" fender parts but it's only a plastic switch tip and the Fender T-Style switch tip costs £6.71 for a pack of two which seemed a bit expensive for a tiny piece of plastic so I thought I would take a chance on the Harley Benton switch knob.
The Harley Benton was a perfect fit, simply pushes into place and doesn't fall off, it requires a very deliberate pull to remove, a great result.
I already have two Fender AVRI (American Vintage Reissue) '52 telecasters so I am able to compare the Harley Benton switch with a genuine Fender item for those that are interested.
Both switch tips look and feel the same, same colour, same overall shape and proportions and both plastics feel the same.
The main difference is when you look underneath the fender has a slot recess for the metal switch blade to fit into and the Harley Benton has a cross shaped recess for the metal switch blade to fit into.
Both switch tips feel equally secure of the metal blade.
Fender overall length is approximately 14.65mm, large diameter part is 12.05mm while the smaller diameter part is 9.74mm
The Harley Benton overall length is approximately 14.55mm, large diameter part is 12.03mm while the smaller diameter part is 9.62mm.
All measurements wee taken with a digital caliber but without it you can can only tell which is which by looking a the recess for the metal switch blade on the back.

Solid knob for any guitar
Much like all Harley Benton products, it offers solid quality for a really small price. I bought a bunch of these to customize my guitar and I'm pretty happy with them. Quality is good, they're consistent and they don't have the burrs you usually find on cheap plastic components.

Wow!
My tele's switch knob fell off. I was contemplating whether to purchase this one or the original one from Fender. I ordered this one and I am very satisfied with the product.
It looks identical to my original switch know, it sits well on my tele ever since, and it comes at the fraction of the price. Amazing, I am really satisfied.

Very good
The original one cracked earlier and I ordered this as being the cheapest. To be honest, I could not see any difference between the original (which is Fender) one and this.
It fits very well and does not seem to fall down.
I highly suggest this product. There is no need to pay 5x for such simple plastic accessory.

Good enough
Looks fine, couldn't find any defects. Cheap alternative that does the job without paying a premium for a lost/broken button.

Better than the original
I frequently lose the switch knob and originals are crazy expensive and they don't hold as tight also. These HB knobs fit snug and are at the fraction of the price.
