3 way toggle vs. 3 way blade poll!

[RobRR]

So what do you prefer? Personally, I cant see ANY reason to use a blade switch over a toggle switch. (3 way only here) The toggles are much faster to flip, easier to rout, and can be rotated to the players individual prefrences.

Any ideas why J/C insists on using blades on most of their imports now a days?

i like a toggle on a 2 hum guitar. i like a blade on a 2 single coil guitar.

I think the toggle looks less 'cheap' and is easyer to use in action.

But why can't I vote this poll?

I LOVE the toggle on my sl2ht. Its switching is so clean. the blade on my DK2T sucks! I know the latter is a lower grade one, but it would have been much better if DK2T's came with toggles instead of the blade switch.

Also, connections to a toggle are much simpler and easier than the 3 way blade with 8 poles on 'em.

I love the blade.
It feels more stable to me and I don't switch settings if I strum too hard and accidently hit it.

I hate toggles with passion.
1. Ugly.
2. They feel like they can break of any time.
3. I can switch pups much faster with a blade.

But dont you feel the blade is harsh while switching? Maybe I'm hitting it hard, but I can hear a noise after it switches. Also it needs more effort to switch it than a toggle. On the sl2ht, I can use the edge of my pinky to do the switching and its so silent. Maybe I need to get a better blade switch?

toggle, looks way better.

Voted for toggle. I've had issues with almost all my blades; both 5-ways and 3-ways.

toggle, looks way better.

+1

EDIT: Also, IMO, it feels its harder to install a blade. i.e. its easier to drill a hole than cut a slot. Also fewer stress-concentration points in case of a hole.

Toggle, although I like how stiff it is to switch the blade.

[Baum83]

I like the visual aspect of blade switches WAY better than toggles, I get along with both kinds fine, but given the choice I'd always take a blade.
