Description
It's no secret that I love Jazzmasters. From the comfort of the offset body shape, to the intuitive trem and ultimately, the sound. So this harness was definitely driven by the passion I have for the Jazzmaster design.
This particular harness is for a lead circuit only 'conversion' so to speak. So this harness is wired as if the rhythm circuit didn't exist, and is a standalone lead circuit. So it is great for those who wish to remove the rhythm circuit from their guitar, perhaps building a JM partscaster and don't wish to fit a rhythm circuit, or perhaps are planning a build based around non JM single coils, with humbuckers instead perhaps.
This kit has 500k volume and tone pot specs (split shaft), with a .022uF tone cap. This spec is great if you have a P90 or Humbucker equipped Jazzmaster, or if you want to tame a little of the top end over the traditional JM 1MEG specs.
Installing
I have intended for my wiring harnesses to be as simple as possible to install to your Jazzmaster, as well as writing in depth fitting guides, how-to instructions documenting the step by step process as well as a simple to follow wiring diagram.
The parts I use, in particular the pots, are CTS branded pots which are imperial measurements. If you're fitting this harness to a far east built variant for example such as a Squier or similar, then you may have to widen the holes in the control plate to accommodate for these imperial measurement pots. Or alternatively, purchase a new control plate that is already suited to the US spec components.
For reference, the CTS pots I use in this harness have a shaft diameter of 9.52mm.
You may also require new control knobs to fit the CTS pot 'split shaft' spline diameter of 5.95mm.
If you do require a US spec control plate or control knobs, we do carry a selection of popular options in stock and they can be viewed in the hardware & plastic hardware categories on the store.
The mounting board I ship my harnesses out on, were taken from measurements of a USA built Fender Jazzmaster. The centre to centre measurements between components are -
Centre of 3 way toggle switch to master volume pot - 11.5cm
Centre of master volume pot to master tone pot - 5.2cm
Centre of master tone pot to jack socket - 6cm
Specs
- CTS '450' Series +/-10% Tolerance short shaft pots - 500k split shaft
- .022uF 'Yellow Mustard' type tone capacitor
- Gavitt USA made cloth covered 22AWG wire
- 20AWG Tinned copper ground
- Switchcraft right angle 3 way toggle switch
- Pure Tone multi contact jack socket
- Soldered using R-Tech Premium Lead-Free (Sn95.5Ag3.9Cu0.6) 22swg Solder wire
RoHS Compliant
Please note - wiring kit does not include new control knobs/switch tip/control plate etc but does include the pot/jack mounting nuts and washers and switch mounting nut.
