Will Gibson toggle switch and knobs fit on my Epi Les Paul?

What he said.

But, I'll go one further and tell you that Gibson parts are Imperial (North American), which are smaller than the Metric (slightly larger Asian) parts that Epi (and most other Asian guitar manufacturers) use.

So the long and the short of it is, Gibson parts are NOT interchangeable between Epi guitars.

alright, thank you

Order from an Epi dealer. Allparts and other aftermarket parts don't fit right. I changed ALL my plastic and knobs on my Epi for $23. Best wat to go by far.

Actually...if your pots have split shafts, you can either carefully spread them apart or pinch them together and the knobs will eventually fit.
I had to pinch the shafts of my Alpha push/pull pots together in order to fit the Allparts gold knobs in them.

The answer is still no on the Switchcraft switch tip for an epiphone toggleswitch, though.
