The Blues prewired Harness Kit For Gibson Les Paul Long Shaft Pots Switch

Description

**Welcome to Tone Man Guitar**
Tone Man Guitar prebuilt wiring kits will improve your guitars overall tone.  Your sound will be stronger, tighter with improved clarity.  Notes will open up with greater sustain.  Tone and volume controls are very responsive and smoother.  By rolling back your volume some you can clean up an over driven amp.  One of my favorite things is the elimination of much of the treble loss when you roll the volume down.  All kits are carefully custom hand wired to order.  Only the best quality parts are used as they did back in the 50's and 60's.  You will not find a better product or selection.
Our Blues kit uses Paper In Oil Aged K42Y tone caps for improved overall performance.  Excellent clarity with very vintage warm and woody tones.  All wired 50's style with premium new components that perform better than the stock electronics found in today's guitars.  You will hear and feel the difference.
This Kit Is For:
USA Gibson Les Paul manufactured from 1977 to present using long shaft pots.  Always best to measure the pot bushing (threaded part of shaft only) to be sure.  Long = 3/4 inch Short = 3/8 inch.

T  Tone Cap Options
: We recommend the cap values that come standard with this kit for the very best Gibson style vintage but if you prefer any of the below tone cap options add a note to the order when purchased and I will substitute if I have that cap value in stock.
.022uf bridge / .015uf neck

I personally prefer Bourns potentiometers over all other brands including CTS.  I have found them to be smoother, responsive and longer lasting.  The very best taper available.  These pots are 18 spline shaft so USA type knobs will not fit without first pinching the top of the split shaft together a little and slowly push the knob on.  Epiphone and off shore type will fit fine.  We do offer a line of knobs that fit.

If you have an imported / outside of USA manufactured guitar you may need to modify the potentiometer holes to 3/8 inch to accommodate the full size Bourns pots. Your installation instructions will cover this. If you have questions feel free to email me.
**If you are not sure whether your guitar uses short (3/8") or long (3/4") shaft pots please check before ordering.  Normally Pre-1977 Gibson Les Paul's, All Epiphone's, SG's use short shafts. USA made Gibson's after 1976 use long shaft pots.
Although these harnesses are pre-assembled and tested they do require some soldering to connect the pickups and the output jack.  A 30 – 40 watt soldering iron is recommended.  Make sure you are comfortable with making these connections or we suggest you take this to a qualified guitar tech to complete the installation.  I can not be responsible if you damage a unit.
Each harness is custom built after purchase so my
lead time to build your harness before shipping is 5 to 10 business days
.  In stock means I have the parts to build.  You will receive a notice with USPS tracking number once shipped.
Tone Man Guitar started from my own passion for music, knowledge of electronics and the love of great vintage guitar tone.  I am a one man shop, do all the work myself and I guarantee the very best workmanship around.  I want you to be Satisfied.
Cheers,
