Model Description

It's no secret that I love Jazzmasters. From the comfort of the offset body shape, to the intuitive vibrato and ultimately, the sound. So this harness was definitely driven by the passion I have for the Jazzmaster design!
This particular pre-wired Jazzmaster harness kit is for the Troy Van Leeuwen Signature JM style wiring, which is essentially completely standard/traditional JM wiring with exception of three details. First up the rhythm/lead circuit DPDT switch. Traditionally these of course are 2 way slide switches, but on Troys signature model it features a chrome toggle 2 way switch instead. And on the factory TVL the rhythm circuit volume pot is 500k instead of the traditional 1MEG although the 50k tone remains the same. On the lead circuit both volume and tone are 500k. So a few subtle differences which I've reflected in the spec of this kit.
So if you are looking for a replacement TVL JM wiring kit, or looking to make your regular JM like a TVL, then this will help achieve that!

Fitting information

I have intended for my wiring harnesses to be as simple as possible to install to your TVL Jazzmaster, as well as writing in depth general fitting guides and simple to follow wiring diagrams for each wiring style. There are also multiple useful how-to guides regarding wiring work found HERE too. But in this section you'll find some important fitting notes that will hopefully help you assess whether the kit is suitable for your exact Jazzmaster or what is required to allow it to fit correctly.

Can I fit this kit myself?
This ultimately comes down to whether you own the equipment needed to correctly and safely install the kit, or how comfortable you feel working on your own guitar. I do feel that installing a pre-wired guitar harness is do-able for many guitarists but only if the correct tools are used and care is taken to ensure you do not damage the kit, your guitar or yourself! There are detailed installation guides here on my website, as well as simple to follow wiring diagrams all to help make the process as easy as possible and in my experience, these have helped thousands of my customers carry out their own install. But if for any reason you have concerns about fitting the kit yourself which is entirely understandable, then I'm sure you'll agree that it is likely best to have a professional fit the kit and help ensure your purchased kit, and your beloved guitar are both looked after and worked on correctly. 
If you are local to me (Stourbridge, West Midlands) I take on guitar work no problem at all so will certainly be able to help install your Signature Series harness. 

Will the pots/jack fit my pickguard?
The components I use in my Signature Series wiring kits are for the most part, USA imperial specification, and will be a direct replacement for a genuine Fender TVL Jazzmaster. If you're fitting this harness to different model/spec of Jazzmaster, or a far east built guitar such as a Squier or similar brand, then you may have to widen the holes in the pickguard to accommodate for these imperial measurement pots. You'll also need to consider the difference of the toggle rhythm/lead switch instead of the traditional slide switch. This will require a different pickguard etc, so please bare this in mind. The CTS pots and Pure Tone multi contact jack have a mounting thread shaft diameter of 0.369" / 9.38mm so I recommend for ease of install a pickguard and/or jackplate with 0.394" / 10mm pot/jack mounting holes. You can easily widen the holes in the Pickguard too if you would prefer, I recommend doing this safely with a step cutter drill bit. I also offer this as a service so if you would like me to widen your plate for you, do please get in touch and we can organise this additionally.

What control knobs will fit?
The kit uses CTS solid shaft pots depending on the option you select.  Solid shaft pots suit grub screw secured control knobs with a diameter of 6.35mm only.
Do not attempt to force fit smaller, metric/import spec control knobs onto the imperial USA spec pots, doing this can damage the pot.

If you do require a US spec control knobs, I do carry a selection of popular options in stock and they can be viewed in the Control Knob category on the store.

Which switch tip will fit?
Much like with the control knobs, the Switchcraft pickup selector in this kit is USA spec, with imperial thread sizes. Therefore you need a imperial thread switch toggle tip to suit Switchcraft toggles.
The rhythm/lead toggle does not require a tip, as it already has a chrome lever as standard.

If you do require a US spec switch tip, I do carry a selection of popular options in stock and they can be viewed in the Switch Tips category on the store.

Grounding/shielding
As standard I pre-solder a ground wire between the switches and pots etc for guaranteed ground continuity on your pre-wired kit. If by chance you already have effective copper shielding across the pickguard, or a aluminium shielding plate for example that will provide you with sufficient ground continuity, then let me know prior to ordering and I will leave these standard ground wires off as to not introduce a ground loop upon installation.
