"The switchlock is a great product that solves a really common issue for many guitar players, myself included. Having the ability to "lock" a position on the pickup selector gives you total peace of mind knowing that you won't accidentally move it to a different position mid-song on stage or more importantly, while tracking during a studio session. The ease of locking and unlocking makes this product even more attractive and the set up takes minutes without any damage to the instrument. I absolutely endorse this accessory and highly recommend it to guitarists of all skill levels." ~ Andre Madatian
