Where can I get an original Epiphone switch (treble/rhythm) replacement for my Epiphone LP?
I have checked out Woh Fatt... the Gibson ones are really nice but too big (the in-the-guitar-body metal contact part) for my Epiphone; the Gotoh ones can fit properly (I think) but I don't like the switch stick that's kinda bigger than my liking.
I want to change my switch is because there is crackling sound when switching from one to another positions. And sometimes I can't get either my treble or rhythm at all. I have tried to fix the problem on my own by bending the contact point metal (this is the root cause of the problem because it doesn't seem to get back into the right position) and it would only last for a month or two before I need to unscrew it to bend the contact point metal again.
Is this a common problem among Epihone LPs?
And do you guys leave your switch to the middle (treble and rhythm) position when storing your guitar?
Try spraying the switch with a contact cleaner.I have checked out Woh Fatt... the Gibson ones are really nice but too big (the in-the-guitar-body metal contact part) for my Epiphone; the Gotoh ones can fit properly (I think) but I don't like the switch stick that's kinda bigger than my liking.

You might just be able to get it to work again.
edit: not spray directly, just drop a few of those solution into the switch from outside, no need to open up.
Then move the switch back/forth repeatedly until the liquid dissolves the dirt/oxidation inside. Should work after you're done.
