Free-Way 10-Way Blade HSH Super Strat Pickup Selector Switch 5B5-02

Free-Way Switch: A whole new dimension in pickup switching for electric guitars!

The Free-Way switch was first used on stage in December 2007 during Led Zeppelin's Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert where the new Gibson® Jimmy Page Les Paul® Custom was featured during an incredible performance of "For Your Life".

When you first play a guitar with a Free-Way switch, you might not even realize it is there - the guitar doesn't look any diferent and the pickup selector feels just like a normal 5-way blade switch giving Neck/Neck+Middle/Middle/Middle+Bridge/Bridge selections. It's only when you realise that the Free-Way switch moves into an additional five positions that you understand what the Free-Way is all about.

A whole new dimension in natural tone - coil tapping, phase switching, series/parallel, piezo blending...you decide! Fast, intuitive switching - all in one familiar place so it's easy to understand and use. Classic looks - completely maintains the authentic design, appearance and condition of any guitar.

Model 5B5-02:

The 5B5-02 model delivers 10-position Free-Way switching in a Blade format which is specially optimized for HSH pickup configurations. The lower bank delivers 5 humbucker selections (the middle three of which have options) and the upper bank delivers the classic S-type 5-way selection from the middle single and the coil-split humbuckers. The 5B5-02 unlocks the full versatility of any HSH guitar:- neck/bridge humbuckers; neck/middle/bridge single-coils; humbucker/single coil combinations as well. All pickup voices at your fingertips in an instant. Why compromise?

Visually undetectable when fitted, the 5B5-02 delivers incredible tonal flexibility in a completely intuitive, familiar package.
