Switches |
The blade switches Charvel used were manufactured
by Centralab
(aka CRL). 3-way selectors were CRL 1452 models, just like Fender
used as far back as the Broadcaster. Charvel actually sold 5-way
switches before Fender offered them. |

|
These 5 way switches were also made by
Centralab and typically are stamped with a part number "PA222-674". The correct
switch will have a brownish circuit board and the metal will be silver. Often they will be
oxidized and have a white powdery substance coating them. They will ALWAYS feature the CRL
stamp with Patent number. Mounting screws are a 6-32 thread. Tips were Fender with wide
slot in black or white. |

3 way toggle switches: Charvel used
angled Switchcraft switches with the Gibson Les Paul style mounting nut that drops down
inside of the body. These came in nickel, brass, and black to match the hardware on the
guitar. |
