Having fitted just about every momentary switch I can find over the years on many budding Buckerhead’s guitars I can safely say that the Sanwa arcade button is streets ahead of any other type because it’s action and clean operation.

Or black.
If you want to try one just find a guitar with a pick guard and fit it somewhere that won’t require router work or get in the way.
Wire it to add ground to the main output signal.
It is a sensitive action and easy to be musical with it as well as just the usual array of robot noises 🤣
They come in 23mm ( above ) or 30mm don’t buy from a guitar part supplier because they add 500% “guitar parts “ tax. They are tested to over a million actuations and cost less than £3 . Bring out your inner Bucket!
I put one on my RG550.

Not surprised. Those switches are originally meant for arcade game cabinets and fighting game controllers. People abuse the shit out of those and at the same time require them to be reliable and precise.
