Switch was a brand of electric guitars and electric basses. They were produced by the short-lived Switch Music company in the mid-2000s. Their innovative instruments featured a one-piece body-and-neck, which was made by injection moulding of a patented polyurethane resin-based synthetic material called Vibracell, very similar to Cort's Luthite. Trev Wilkinson was the primary designer of the various Switch models. The company first presented their guitars at the 2004 NAMM show. The instruments weighed roughly the same as comparable wooden instruments. The sustain was described as excellent. Fretboards are of either rosewood or synthetic Ebonol; the neck contained a truss rod. The front and back of the guitar body were sculpted.{{cn|date=May 2018}} The design often employed garish neon colours as well multicoloured designs, in glossy finishes. Manufacturing was in the Far East. The tuning mechanisms (machine heads) were made by Grover Rotomatics. The pickups were own-brand or sometimes a "Licensed by EMG" design. Floyd Rose vibrato bridges were standard in some models. Some models were "MIDI-ready" with an in-built Roland GK-2A pickup system. One model, the Ultima EQ, had both conventional magnetic as well as piezoelectric pickups. ModelsGuitar models (selection)
