Just ordered an Oak Grigsby for the first time. (I think ?)
Is that a name affiliated with this switch ? Are these one & the same? Never noticed... Always thought they were Switchcraft?

Never heard of Oak Grigsby, Jimi, but original Fender switches were "CRL" brand.JimiJames wrote:I've been using Switchcraft's for over 3 decades.

O.K.
In reference to the (I think ?) part...
The O.G. & Fender came in the mail and found out that they are one & the same.
Fender used 2 models.
Right filly, CRL's. Fender used Centralab's (which I mistaking said Switchcraft) and those are the one's I mostly use. They are easily identifiable by their spring. I love the action on those over the O.G.'s.
China now makes them. I should pick one up to satisfy my suspicion's. From the pic's they are built the same, but as one can see they have a thinner gauge terminal material, and probably weaker spring.
