mlj Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 Hi there, I was wondering; What is the difference in quality and price between the 5-way swith from an Ibanez JEM7VWH (part no. 3PS1VLX91)and an Ibanez JEM555WH (part no. 3PS1CGAE5) I saw the pictures of those switches and they are defenately not the same. Please let me know. Thanks. Johan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Rosenberger Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 this is just a guess but I think the switch on the VWH is probably a heavier duty rated switch. They both do the same thing so that's my guess. You could email rich at ibanezrules.com I'm sure he knows the difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevan Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 Scott's correct.... The VLX-91 swtich, aka the OTAX switch, is 10x the switch that the 555 has in it. The OTAX switch offers something like 44 different possible wiring combinations/selections- more than the MegaSwitch! It's going to be more expensive because it's built better than the 'regular' 5-way that Ibanez uses in some of their guitars. I love the loop-thru connection availability. Provides a super-solid connection between wire and switch contact. I HIGHLY recommend using the VLX-91/OTAX switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlj Posted September 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 Thanks guy's, Now the only problem is to get one on short notice and figuring out what the price deference is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jehle Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 BTW, Where do you buy one of these switches? Brian, do you sell them on the Universal Jems site? Not that I need one, I just like to know good sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Rosenberger Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 Vwall Guitars can probably get them for you. He's an authorized Ibanez Dealer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
