Yes that Dimarzio switch does appear to be identical. It is about $30 on eBay, but I searched for the Chinese ones and they are only about $5. Thanks for the information. Maybe there are other alternatives on Digikey or Mouser as well, but they do not seem to be consistent with their descriptions. Digikey lists the 7411T1 switches as a DP3T (it can be configured that way with the use of jumpers) and Mouser calls those either the correct 4PDT or 4PST. So it is hard to find the correct switch on there searching for 4PDT and ON-ON-ON.

@lemmy999 The switch I've sourced is: 7411T1CWZBE2

I have used it on a flex install and can confirm it is good and works as expected. Seems like the link is to the wrong component :D

I opted for the black lever since that was the only one in stock at the time too. Personally would rather use a good OEM than a cheap equivalent.

Thanks, @Peaches!

@lemmy999 @mmmguitar, thanks for pointing this out and all the effort. I updated the original post to reflect the links from Peaches' BOM from our Flex tests with parts 7103T1CWCBE and 7411T1CWZBE2. Mouser shows the latter as out of stock right now, but not discontinued and I know that we were able to order small quantities of these not long ago.

Hi @Ericb71—yes, that is the correct part. 👌 As noted, it’s not the same as the original, but it is close.

OEM style output jacks are available if the anatomy list would like to be updated. These are offered by the folks at Flippin' Guitars who reverse-engineered the fabrication process and are building batches of these by hand. Build quality looks good, and it comes with the 1/4" tool!
