"I ordered a couple of the Schaller "E" megaswitches from GuitarPartsDepot.com and Sounds like it'll do the trick for the Ibanez RG1220, and I may even put one in the PGM500 I'm in the process of rewiring. "

--B Duersch, Cincinnati

Every Schaller employee is a specialist in the manufacturing of his component and, therefore, produces a perfectly coordinated part, which ultimately ensures the excellence of our products. It has been my privilege and duty for the last 30 years as Plant Manager, to utilize my mold-designing knowledge for the development and manufacture of Schaller’s unique products, and to support our customers in the realization of their ideas and patents. For more than 60 years, Schaller has had regular discussions and exchanges of ideas with guitar producers, dealers, and of course with musicians from all over the world. This resulted in numerous good ideas that have meanwhile become a standard on every guitar. We are in touch with numerous professional artists from all over the world - this way we're able to keep track of the developments, helping us to continue to further improve our products.

"Well, I finally got around to installing the 5-way switch on the Ibanez RG1220. Two words:
Kick a$$! "

Manufactured by SCHALLER and designed for guitarists, the Megaswitch features heavy-duty die-cast construction, noise-free contacts, and the best "feel" of all our lever-action switches.


The original E-Model is for 3-pickup combinations of single coils or humbuckers, or for 2-humbucker guitars. It allows wiring arrangements not obtainable with a standard 5-way guitar switch, including automatic coil-tapping and special hum-cancelling connections.

Chrome screws, black plastic knob and wiring diagram included. 1-3/8" body cavity depth, 1-5/8" screw spacing, and 1/16" x 1-1/16" lever slot are required.

The P-Model Megaswitch is for two humbucking pickups. This 5-way lever-action switch duplicates the combinations of Paul Reed Smith's rotary control.

Earvana - Compensated Tuning Systems for Guitars

Inventor Rick Logacono and JP Cervoni explaining just how the Earvana Compensated Tuning System works. Earvana manufactures and distributes revolutionary guitar intonation technology. The patented technology is a uniquely designed nut created to improve the sound of your guitar. www.earvana.com You have probably noticed that it is nearly impossible to tune your guitar so that the chords in the first 5 frets ring true for any open chords. Earvana has solved this problem by developing a nut that compensates for the errors that are inherent in 99% of all stringed instruments. Earvana Compensated Guitar Nuts Guitar players will tell you that open chords are never in tune with each other, since most fingered notes are sharp of the desired pitch. It is impossible for them to sound correct with a basic straight nut, since a straight nut is made to address each string the same way. Only by shortening the distance of each string individually in relation to the first fret & the 12th fret will enable your guitar to achieve the proper interval pitch. This is precisely the result achieved with the EARVANA Compensated Tuning System! Earvana has designed the Compensated Nut to provide the most accurate intonation available, to achieve total balance throughout the entire fretboard on a guitar. This innovative technology is based on a scientific calculation that allows the correct degree of compensation at the neck and bridge. It took years to perfect this technology, resulting in the Earvana Compensated Nut. Your guitar will never sound better! Get your Earvana - Compensated Tuning Systems HERE: Earvana Custom Items
