Dennis G Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I'll take a real 335 before I'd take one of these. Besides, it's just f'ugly (IMHO at least). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdgm Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Gold finish is same price as chrome. 2 F-holes is/are better IMO. "Aviation grade toggle switch".... [laugh] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merciful-evans Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I wondered when Memphis would get around to it. I think 2 f-holes would look better. So would a natural finish. Tuners are conventional. I have no problem with that. But the main problem is the nut width is 1.687" (instead of 1.745"). Why only do half a job? Descriptions like 'Aviation Grade Toggle Switch' undermine Gibson's credibility. I have 40+ years experience with aviation metals. A toggle switch would be classed as 'ground equipment' and you do not need ultrasonic scanning, 3 x grainflow orientation, deadzone/coarse grain removal and mill certification for something that isn't stress critical and is never going to fly. Or maybe Pete Townsend wants one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that you are looking at this the wrong way. Nobody is going to build a wing out of toggle switches, or use them to add structural integrity to an aircraft. Switches are rated by the number of “throws” they can perform before failing. If you have a switch that activates your landing gear or something you want to be confident that it isn’t going to fail while you’re in the air. I don’t know what actual aviation spec would be for toggle switches and of course this is a marketing tactic from Gibson, but your logic seems irrational to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
