We're proud to offer a vintage-correct switch tip for late-'50s Les Paul and ES models, made from genuine Catalin — the same material used on the originals.

Unlike modern reproductions molded in modern plastics, Catalin has a depth and warmth of color that modern materials can't match, and it develops its own subtle character over time. This is the correct material for a truly period-accurate build, down to the smallest detail.

Produced to vintage-correct dimensions and profile, it's ready to drop straight onto your toggle switch for the right look and fit.

Perfect for restorations, conversions, or any build chasing the golden age of tone and craftsmanship.

Experience the details that define an era — only from RetroSpec.
