I've been using Switchcraft's for over 3 decades.
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.

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.
