Why can't i find this switch anywhere?

I'm looking for a toggle style switch, which is

ON/MOM-OFF - i.e sits in ON position and you can toggle it off.

im looking to use this as a kill switch for my guitar.

it seems to be imposible to find...

Just to clarify, are you looking for a toggle style switch or a push button?  I'm just trying to visualize how a momentary toggle switch would work... Are you saying you want it to be a toggle switch that bounces back to ON when you let it go?

And dude... let's try not to bring mom into this, parents just don't understand.

You are looking for a "normally closed" momentary switch.

If you are looking for a footswitch type version a quick look up at Digikey brings:

432-1207-ND
679-1044-ND

The second one while expensive has a nice soft feel.

  Leave the guitar wiring intact, this is a nice default status, the pickup remains hardwired.
  Use common switch [as seen on TV, monitor, VCR salvage boards].
  Wire it across the Jack lugs.
  The switch only connects the signal to ground when held down.
Convention creates following, following creates convention.
