broke the switch

Accidentally i broke the pickup switch toggle when i had only 2 maybe 3 months with my LTD Eclipse. i was standing with my newly acquired guitar and i dont know how, the strap just dislocated from its place and the guitar hit the floor, only thing that happened was that the switch broke and it had impacted on the body, very subtle. from that day i bought myself strap locks. wanted to know if this is something any tech guitarist could replace. as you can see in the photo, i tried using industrial glue but failed to place it again because the switch kind of broke in half.

It's a simple fix.  A new switch and 5 minutes with a soldering iron and you're back in business. If you're not comfortable doing it yourself, any tech will be able to do it.

Are those actual EMGs? I think EMG has a solderless toggle switch now.

Good idea on the straplocks though, even if a little late.

What year is the guitar (the first two numbers of the serial number will tell you)?

If it's quick connect, this is what you need.

2016, still need the quick connect?

Actually, it's hard to know. I don't think ESP uses the quick connect on anything except the pickup itself.  Any chance you could take the cover off the jack and take a picture inside?
