I want my Signature Series wiring harness for this legendary guitar to earn the right to be a small part of that through a choice of quality components and respect for it's design. The schematic is a simple recipe, based upon the late 60s wiring methods which is perhaps the most commonly known and broadly liked wiring style for Teles. Earlier 60s and 50s 2 pickup Teles were wired from the factory with what most players would find 'quirky' switching and tones, known as the Dark Circuit wiring style. This specific pre-wired kit however is the wiring style most of us would be familiar with and come to expect from Tele controls and tones. I hope it helps you get the most out of your pickups, and your tele with reliable use for many years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow the controls and pots work\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaster volume control\u003cbr\u003eMaster tone control\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwitching\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e(3 way)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePosition 1 - Bridge pickup\u003cbr\u003ePosition 2 - Bridge pickup and neck pickup in parallel\u003cbr\u003ePosition 3 - Neck pickup\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note, website example photo(s) may differ visually from the wiring kit you receive.

But must say a great deal of 'modern' production models have been featuring a 0.02uF, with both Fender and many aftermarket pickup makers recommending it for optimal use too.\u003cbr\u003eWhich is right for you, may simply down to personal preference, but if you're not sure or not familiar with these specs understandbly, I would firstly recommend double checking the recommended specs by the pickup maker\/model you have in your Tele or plan to fit to your Tele. \u003cbr\u003eTo briefly summarise, the 0.05uF by comparison to the 0.02uF will have a subtly 'darker'\/warmer tone from full throughout the tone pot sweep, and if you A\/B'd the same guitar with the tone pot set at 0 between the 0.05uF to the 0.02uF it would be noticable darker. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWith or without Treble Bleed?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFirst up, what does it do? A Treble Bleed kit takes the 'high' treble tone frequencies out of the circuit at the volume pot, and puts them back in the circuit as the signal leaves the volume pot. This means the treble frequencies are prevented from naturally bleeding out of the circuit as your turn your volume pot down. The result is a smoothed out treble and a more uniform tone from 1 to 10. Reducing the treble drop out as the volume pot rolls off. Some guitar players wouldn't be without a treble bleed, and many have never used one on their guitars. Truth is, it is very much personal preference. If you like the idea of retaining treble as you roll your volume pot down, then a treble bleed is for you! As standard I use the .001uF \u0026amp; 120kOhm parallel wired treble bleed mod. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePot shaft type?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTraditionally you would expect to see Solid Shaft pots used in a Telecaster.

If you're fitting this harness to a far east built guitar such as a Squier or similar brand, 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. 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 control plate and\/or jackplate with 0.394\" \/ 10mm pot\/jack mounting holes. You can easily widen the holes in the control plate too if you would prefer, I recommend doing this safely with a step cutter drill bit.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

Well it's not totally un-common with Gibson type guitars or humbuckers in general so don't worry, you have some ways in which it can be improved. Although the standard spec harness will I'm sure help the pickup breathe and is ultimately the most popular spec choice, I now also with the choice of a .01uF value cap in the neck position instead to help clear up a darker sounding neck pickup. \u003cbr\u003eThis is very much personal choice and\/or how you are finding the balance between the neck and bridge pickup currently.  The main thing to consider is whether you feel your neck pickup is too dark\/muddy compared to the bridge pickup. If it is and you want to try and help brighten it up a little, then a .01uF value cap in that position may be useful to you. If you like how your neck pickup sounds, then stick with a .022uF! It's the most popular choice and the 'go-to' cap value for most P90s and Humbuckers generally.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWiring Style?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI offer this kit with a choice of two main wiring styles, depending on your personal preference or perhaps which will best suit the era of SG you are recreating\/restoring.\u003cbr\u003eGibson's 50s style wiring was used as standard from the introduction of the SG Les Paul, up until what I believe to be around '63\/'64 where they changed to what is commonly called 'modern' style wiring which has pretty much exclusively remained the standard way for Gibson to wire their guitars with exception of vintage correct reissues perhaps. So you have an early 60s SG, be it original or reissue, then for originality sake will perhaps want to stick with 50s style wiring for your loom for example.\u003cbr\u003eThe key difference between 50s and 'modern' style wiring is how the tone cap is connected between the volume and tone pots, and how the tone pots are ground. This alteration subtly affects how the volume and tone pots interact with one another. \u003cbr\u003eWith 50s style wiring the tone cap behaves like a subtle\/natural sounding treble bleed when using the volume pot, so it helps retain a little top end as you roll down the volume. Whereas modern wiring style doesn't do this, as a result may get a little warmer as you roll down the volume pot naturally. Which is best all comes down to personal preference and how you use your controls.\u003cbr\u003eWith 50s style wiring, when rolling down the tone pots, you will loose a little bit of overall volume, this is a natural byproduct of the wiring method. Whereas with 'modern' style wiring you won't hear any volume loss when rolling down the tone pot(s). Again, which you prefer will all come down to personal preference, but I will say that overall 50s style wiring loom kits do generally outsell the modern style wired kits, whether that's because it's better, or simply because of that golden era allure, I can't say for sure! But I want to offer both specs so it better reflects the two main wiring styles of production SG's.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWiring diagram and wiring info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-Wired kit general fitting guide - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Full_Install_Guide_PDF_2023.pdf?v=1692189523\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWiring Diagrams\u003cbr\u003e50s Style wiring - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/SG_RH.pdf?v=1603658137\" title=\"SG 50s style wiring diagram\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eModern style wiring - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Modern_SG.pdf?v=1739880696\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Modern style SG wiring\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoldering ground wires to pot casings - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PB9y3sEXhsU\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFull SG re-wire guide - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/blogs\/news\/how-to-guide-fitting-a-50s-style-pre-wired-harness-to-an-sg\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWiring FAQs - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/pages\/wiring-kit-faqs\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI have intended for my wiring harnesses to be as simple as possible to install to your Les Paul, b\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eut in this section you'll find some important fitting notes that will hopefully help you assess whether the kit is suitable for your exact Les Paul or what is required to allow it to fit correctly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I fit this kit myself?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis 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 have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

I have struggled to pin down the exact year things switched to 500k for both volume and tone as standard. For example, I've seen '56 examples with 250k tone pots, but likewise other '56 models with original Centralab pots in there with two 500k. It's a tricky one for me to confirm, although I must say that I have been offering this kit as standard with 500k for both volume and tone since 2016 and it has proved incredibly popular. But if you did have a specific vintage spec in mind, recreating a specific instrument, restoring etc, then I offer the option of a 250k tone pot too. To sum things up if you're not sure, 500k will provide a brighter overall response than a 250k, but ultimately you could roll the tone pot back a little to achieve the 250k value too. So if you are worried the pickup may be too dark with 250k, then opt for 500k as you'll still be able to roll the tone back and achieve the same response as the 250k pot anyway. And likewise, if you're worried the 500k will be too bright with your pickup, then you can opt for the 250k tone pot option or roll back the 500k. No right or wrong here really, it's what works for you and your tone preferences.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge\/vibrato claw ground wire\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eI have decided to make this option available, in case it helps anyone carrying out a more in depth repair, modification or restoration and will be removing the bridge stud\/insert.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

As the production eras progressed, this commonly transitioned into 500k pot specs from the factory. Some even sporting 250k pots too which I've seen in numerous MIM Deluxes. Ultimately, I feel a true CuNiFe Wide Range Humbucker design is at it's best with 1MEG pots, due to design they're a very warm pickup so the 1MEG pots really help bring out the best in their frequency range and response. If you like the warmth from these pickups though you can embrace that with 500k pots. But also, many of the modern day recreations\/reissues of these WRH pickups are sometimes a little closer to regular PAF humbuckers with WRH style covers on, which are actually designed for 500k pots. Not sure what your pickups are, then I would recommend referring to the manufacturer to clarify. But I offer the choice between 1MEG or 500k pots in my Telecaster Deluxe kit to allow you to choose a spec that best suits the sound you're after or the pickup set you have. \u003cbr\u003eIf you have a Deluxe that is equipped with regular, PAF style humbuckers or P90s perhaps, then I would say the 500k option is the way to go. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWith or without Treble Bleed?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFirst up, what does it do? A Treble Bleed kit takes the 'high' treble tone frequencies out of the circuit at the volume pot, and puts them back in the circuit as the signal leaves the volume pot. This means the treble frequencies are prevented from naturally bleeding out of the circuit as your turn your volume pot down. The result is a smoothed out treble and a more uniform tone from 1 to 10. Reducing the treble drop out as the volume pot rolls off. Some guitar players wouldn't be without a treble bleed, and many have never used one on their guitars. Truth is, it is very much personal preference. If you like the idea of retaining treble as you roll your volume pot down, then a treble bleed is for you! As standard I use the .001uF \u0026amp; 120kOhm parallel wired treble bleed mod. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch type\/spec\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI offer this kit with a choice of toggle switch styles to match your guitar's specifications.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

Best course of action is to reference a wiring diagram relevant to your guitar model. Follow the signal\/hot wire and ground wire path from the jack and see where they are soldered to, or upon working on your guitar, inspect how it is currently connected, perhaps take some reference photos and continue with the swap\/install.

This choice is between the traditional 'long frame' toggle, or the more modern 'short frame' toggle. \u003cbr\u003eA traditional long frame toggle will only fit specific variants of Les Paul, as the cavity\/body depth needs to accomodate the larger housing switch itself. Some models of Les Paul, for example the Les Paul Special, will not accomodate a long frame switch. The Switchcraft long frame toggle switch internally measures 38.5mm so needs a minimum switch cavity depth of 40mm. These switches also have a very shallow mounting thread length, and you'll likely see them on Les Pauls with an extended thread mounting nut also fitted. If you select the long frame switch, I will be supplying it with this additional mounting nut for you. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA short frame version of Switchcrafts 3 way toggle I have found from experience fits within the toggle cavity of a LP much better, meaning wires aren't squished in there, and also the threaded part is much longer meaning you won't need an additional recessed nut to fit. You can use the spin on nut provided with the switch.

Even a few simple tweaks can make it a bass not to be overlooked, but I couldn't help but look into the electronics. Needless to say with a bass with a price tag that low, there had to be some components that were of lower quality and the electronics were certainly that. So I looked at creating a wiring harness upgrade, using the high quality components I use on my other harnesses such as CTS '450' pots, Pure Tone multi contact jack, Gavitt wire and a vintage style yellow Mustard tone capacitor. This, along with the McNelly Pickups replacement pickup, specifically designed for Bronco and Musicmaster turns this bass into a serious tonal instrument. I'm very humbled by the support for this upgrade kit over the years, many kits made and customer feedback has been amazing so a huge thank you! Glad you all like the kit so much. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis harness, and the pickup too, with fit both Affinity and Sonic series Broncos.

This pickup was designed by Tim McNelly specifically for the Bronco and Musicmaster bass, it features a true bass pickup design (unlike the stock Bronco pickup which is a Stratocaster guitar spec single coil) and has a great double pole piece design and hotter output for a full tone. Full description and demo video for this pickup can be found \u003ca title=\"McNelly Bronco \/ Musicmaster bass pickup\" href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/collections\/bass-pickups\/products\/mcnelly-musicmaster-bronco-single-coil-bass-pickup?variant=12115672760440\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e. If you would like to order my wiring kit pre-wired to a McNelly Broncomaster pickup, select it via the drop down menu.

Lead times for each option chosen can be found right at the top of this product listing.\u003cbr\u003eIf you choose the pickup additionally, you are given the choice of a white, or black pickup cover.

This ultimately comes down to what control knobs you plan to use on the bass.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

You can still achieve a nice warm tone by rolling the pot down, but at 10 it will be the 'brightest' tone of the three cap options. The .05uF cap spec has a slightly more drastic roll off of the trebles and warmer tone overall, and this was also the spec used on 70s onward built models.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

First time soldering and hear the horror stories of frying pots, or just simply want to neaten up your installs? Then the awesome 'Ground Bug' will help with any of these concerns, beginner or pro modders alike. The Ground Bug is a pot washer that fits between the pot casing and the pickguard\/body and has a number of lugs (much like with the main signal connections on the pot for example) to which you can very easily solder your ground wire connections too. Completely removing the worry and risk of soldering a pot casing, something I know many guitarists complain about having to learn to do. \u003cbr\u003eI have been stocking Ground Bugs for a while, and they really are the perfect match for a pre-wired harness as they further help you with your installs. So I have set up a 10% off Ground Bug deals when purchased with a Home of Tone Signature Series pre-wired harness.

I first become interested in them at the age of 5, seeing the likes of Hendrix, Clapton, SRV and Gilmour playing them on concert VHS tapes that my parents would put on whilst growing up. Although I was young, I soon noticed that all these people were playing the same type of guitar, and that really caught my eye. On my 6th birthday I asked for a guitar, and was incredibly lucky enough to have received a Squier Strat, and the Strat in general was pretty much all I played right up until my 30s. So needless to say, the Strat harness range is close to my heart and something I wanted to ensure is the best quality product I could offer to help bring out the best in your Strat too. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the 'modern' spec harness which I call modern simply as it is a revision over the vintage style strat wiring where the bridge pickup has no tone control. Instead, on this harness you have Tone 1 (closest to volume) controlling the tone for the Neck \u0026amp; Middle pickups, and Tone 2 (furthest from volume) controlling the tone for the bridge pickup. Alongside the standard master volume and 5 way pickup selector. I have also spec'd this kit with a slightly more ‘modern’ response .022uF spec tone capacitor. You’ll see this spec cap in countless recent production Fender Strats, along with many signature models like the SRV, John Mayer and many more too. This spec is something I have done as standard on this kit since 2015 and it has been by far the most popular spec kit I make. Great and simple modern versatility!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note, website example photo(s) may differ visually from the wiring kit you receive.

Without a 'treble bleed', when you roll down the volume pot it will naturally lose some of the treble frequencies through the sweep. Strat players in particular might be familiar with this as they are susceptible to it. So, A Treble Bleed kit takes the 'high' treble tone frequencies out of the circuit at the volume pot, and puts them back in the circuit as the signal leaves the volume pot. This means the treble frequencies are prevented from naturally bleeding out of the circuit as your turn your volume pot down. The result is a smoothed out treble and a more uniform tone from 1 to 10. Reducing the treble drop out as the volume pot rolls off. Some guitar players wouldn't be without a treble bleed, and many have never used one on their guitars. Truth is, it is very much personal preference. If you like the idea of retaining treble as you roll your volume pot down, then a treble bleed is for you! For the standard spec, I use a ceramic .001uF capacitor with a carbon film 120kOhm resistor parallel wired.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge\/vibrato claw ground wire\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eI have decided to make this option available, as many of you may be using this wiring kit on a new, partscaster type build for example.

Or alternatively, purchase a new pickguard that is already suited to the US spec components. 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.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

After offering a variety of specs over the years, I have found that traditional 50s style wiring has proved to be the most popular and that's the kit\/spec you're looking at here. 50's wiring refers to how the volume and tone pots are wired together via the tone capacitor. With traditional 50s style wiring the tone capacitor is soldered between the central output\/wiper lug 2 of the volume pot, and lug 3 of the tone pot, whilst the central output\/wiper lug 2 of the tone pot is soldered to ground. What many players find this does is 'improve' the interaction between all the controls for a more responsive and intuitive playing experience. Ultimately of course, this is subjective and whether this is right for you is only for you to decide. This wiring style was the standard install for Les Pauls made up until around 1962, so if you're hoping to wire your guitar true to the 'golden era' specs, then this is the wiring style for you. I will note that with 50s style wiring, you will have a very minor volume drop when rolling down the tone pots, this is the nature of the circuit. But conversly, you will retain a little more top end when rolling down the volume, think of it as the circuits 'natural' treble bleed mod so to speak. These are often things that make this a very popular wiring style, but they're things to consider as to whether it's right for you. If you want predictability, no volume drop when using the tone etc, then I would perhaps instead recommend modern wiring with treble bleeds, just a note anyway.\u003cbr\u003eThis kit is made with high quality components and a few spec choices which I hope to help the install process that little bit easier. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Options\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWith or without the toggle harness?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eThis ultimately comes down to your requirements for the work being carried out.

But if you feel the quality or condition of your existing switch or jack isn't up to the job, then I also offer Les Paul harnesses as a complete kit including a new pre wired Switchcraft toggle switch and Pure Tone Multi contact jack socket. This kit uses a Switchcraft short frame 3 way toggle, and I have chosen those because they will fit a broader range of Les Paul models but also they feature a longer mounting thread length removing the need for an additional extended knurled nut. The pre-wired switch as standard is wired with traditional Gavitt braided wire, and they come with each wire colour coded to help with install. \u003cbr\u003eRed heat shrink wire - To neck volume pot\u003cbr\u003eYellow heat shrink wire - To bridge volume pot\u003cbr\u003eGreen heat shrink wire - To jack socket\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e.01uF or .022uF neck position tone cap value?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eTroubled by a dark sounding neck pickup? Well it's not totally un-common with Gibson type guitars or humbuckers in general so don't worry, you have some ways in which it can be improved. Although the standard spec harness will I'm sure help the pickup breathe and is ultimately the most popular spec choice, I now also with the choice of a .01uF value cap in the neck position instead to help clear up a darker sounding neck pickup. The difference is subtle but sometimes every little helps when fixing a muddy pickup position.\u003cbr\u003eThis is very much personal choice and\/or how you are finding the balance between the neck and bridge pickup currently.  The main thing to consider is whether you feel your neck pickup is too dark\/muddy compared to the bridge pickup. If it is and you want to try and help brighten it up a little, then a .01uF value cap in that position may be useful to you. If you like how your neck pickup sounds, then stick with a .022uF!

The CTS pots have a mounting thread shaft diameter of 0.369\" \/ 9.38mm so I recommend for ease of install a body mouting hole with 0.394\" \/ 10mm diameter. You can widen the holes in the body and I recommend doing this safely with a step cutter drill bit.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

So I have set up a 10% off Ground Bug deals when purchased with a Home of Tone Signature Series pre-wired harness. This is an automatic discount code, so all you need to have is a Signature Series kit, and a Ground bug in your cart, and the discount will automatically be applied to the bug for you! On a typical Les Paul wiring install, I would recommend x2 Ground bugs, one for each volume pot so you can make all of the relevant ground solder connections to each volume. None should be required to make on your tone pots. Hope this helps!  \u003ca title=\"Ground Bug - Guitar pot soldering washer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/collections\/shielding-misc-wiring-parts\/products\/swannell-guitars-ground-bug-ground-lug-pot-washer?variant=44137818194175\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClick HERE to view the Ground Bug listing\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDo you make custom harnesses?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI'm afraid I do not offer a custom harness service.

I truly hope my harness for the 335 helps bring out the best in this instrument, and hope the subtle component choices I have made help make the install that little bit easier. 335s are a little feared by guitarists when it comes to doing wiring work, due to limited accessibility via the thin F-Holes. I have chosen items like the Switchcraft 'Short Frame' 3 way toggle switch, which is smaller in overall size than a traditional Switchcraft switch, making fitting it through the f-hole easier as well as having a much longer thread length making it easier to mount up once inside the guitar.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

After offering a variety of specs over the years, I have found that traditional 50s style wiring has proved to be the most popular and that's the kit\/spec you're looking at here. 50's wiring refers to how the volume and tone pots are wired together via the tone capacitor. With traditional 50s style wiring the tone capacitor is soldered between the central output\/wiper lug 2 of the volume pot, and lug 3 of the tone pot, whilst the central output\/wiper lug 2 of the tone pot is soldered to ground. What many players find this does is 'improve' the interaction between all the controls for a more responsive and intuitive playing experience. Ultimately of course, this is subjective and whether this is right for you is only for you to decide. This wiring style was the standard install for Les Pauls made up until around 1962, so if you're hoping to wire your guitar true to the 'golden era' specs, then this is the wiring style for you. I will note that with 50s style wiring, you will have a very minor volume drop when rolling down the tone pots, this is the nature of the circuit. But conversly, you will retain a little more top end when rolling down the volume, think of it as the circuits 'natural' treble bleed mod so to speak. These are often things that make this a very popular wiring style, but they're things to consider as to whether it's right for you. If you want predictability, no volume drop when using the tone etc, then I would perhaps instead recommend modern wiring with treble bleeds, just a note anyway.\u003cbr\u003eThis kit is made with high quality components and a few spec choices which I hope to help the install process that little bit easier. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Options\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWith or without the toggle harness?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eThis ultimately comes down to your requirements for the work being carried out.

But if you feel the quality or condition of your existing switch or jack isn't up to the job, then I also offer Les Paul harnesses as a complete kit including a new pre wired Switchcraft toggle switch and Pure Tone Multi contact jack socket. This kit uses a Switchcraft short frame 3 way toggle, and I have chosen those because they will fit a broader range of Les Paul models but also they feature a longer mounting thread length removing the need for an additional extended knurled nut. The pre-wired switch as standard is wired with traditional Gavitt braided wire, and they come with each wire colour coded to help with install. \u003cbr\u003eRed heat shrink wire - To neck volume pot\u003cbr\u003eYellow heat shrink wire - To bridge volume pot\u003cbr\u003eGreen heat shrink wire - To jack socket\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e.01uF or .022uF neck position tone cap value?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eTroubled by a dark sounding neck pickup? Well it's not totally un-common with Gibson type guitars or humbuckers in general so don't worry, you have some ways in which it can be improved. Although the standard spec harness will I'm sure help the pickup breathe and is ultimately the most popular spec choice, I now also with the choice of a .01uF value cap in the neck position instead to help clear up a darker sounding neck pickup. The difference is subtle but sometimes every little helps when fixing a muddy pickup position.\u003cbr\u003eThis is very much personal choice and\/or how you are finding the balance between the neck and bridge pickup currently.  The main thing to consider is whether you feel your neck pickup is too dark\/muddy compared to the bridge pickup. If it is and you want to try and help brighten it up a little, then a .01uF value cap in that position may be useful to you. If you like how your neck pickup sounds, then stick with a .022uF! It's the most popular choice and the 'go-to' cap value for most P90s and Humbuckers generally.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWiring diagram and wiring info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-Wired kit general fitting guide - \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Full_Install_Guide_PDF_2023.pdf?v=1692189523\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWiring Diagram - \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Les Paul 50s style wiring diagram\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Les_Paul_RH_50s.pdf?v=1699302027\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoldering ground wires to pot casings - \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PB9y3sEXhsU\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFull Les Paul re-wire guide - \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/blogs\/news\/how-to-guide-wiring-a-les-paul\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWiring FAQs - \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/pages\/wiring-kit-faqs\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI have intended for my wiring harnesses to be as simple as possible to install to your Les Paul, b\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eut in this section you'll find some important fitting notes that will hopefully help you assess whether the kit is suitable for your exact Les Paul or what is required to allow it to fit correctly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I fit this kit myself?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis 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.

The CTS pots have a mounting thread shaft diameter of 0.369\" \/ 9.38mm so I recommend for ease of install a body mouting hole with 0.394\" \/ 10mm diameter. You can widen the holes in the body and I recommend doing this safely with a step cutter drill bit.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

First time soldering and hear the horror stories of frying pots, or just simply want to neaten up your installs? Then the awesome 'Ground Bug' will help with any of these concerns, beginner or pro modders alike. The Ground Bug is a pot washer that fits between the pot casing and the pickguard\/body and has a number of lugs (much like with the main signal connections on the pot for example) to which you can very easily solder your ground wire connections too. Completely removing the worry and risk of soldering a pot casing, something I know many guitarists complain about having to learn to do. \u003cbr\u003eI have been stocking Ground Bugs for a while, and they really are the perfect match for a pre-wired harness as they further help you with your installs. So I have set up a 10% off Ground Bug deals when purchased with a Home of Tone Signature Series pre-wired harness. This is an automatic discount code, so all you need to have is a Signature Series kit, and a Ground bug in your cart, and the discount will automatically be applied to the bug for you! On a typical Les Paul wiring install, I would recommend x2 Ground bugs, one for each volume pot so you can make all of the relevant ground solder connections to each volume. None should be required to make on your tone pots.

I want my Signature Series wiring harness for this legendary guitar to earn the right to be a small part of that through a choice of quality components and respect for it's design. The schematic is a simple recipe, based upon the late 60s wiring methods which is perhaps the most commonly known and broadly liked wiring style for Teles. Earlier 60s and 50s 2 pickup Teles were wired from the factory with what most players would find 'quirky' switching and tones, known as the Dark Circuit wiring style. This specific pre-wired kit however is the wiring style most of us would be familiar with and come to expect from Tele controls and tones.

Regular right handed audio taper pots (clockwise rotation direction to increase from 0 to 10), or with reverse\/left handed audio taper pots (anti-clockwise rotation direction to increase from 0 to 10). Which you select ultimatly comes down to which spec you personally prefer to use. I have found from the years of offering these kits, researching the specs and speaking with many left handed players, that these preferences most definitely vary. This most likely is a result of inconsistencies between guitar brands, in how they wire guitars. Therefore a player might get used to using their pots a specific turn direction. \u003cbr\u003eAs a result, I wanted to offer the choice of which pot spec you can order your kit to be made with. If you like your pots to turn clockwise from 0 to 10, then select right handed audio taper pots, whereas if you prefer your pots to turn anti-clockwise from 0 to 10, then select reverse\/left handed audio taper pots.

For many years (bulk of the 8+ years I've been making these for that matter) as standard I have installed 0.022uF value tone caps to this kit. I opted for this as standard as I consider this a really versatile, 'modern' so to speak cap value choice and has served very well as a standard option over the years. In our trusty guitar player terms, I personally find the 0.022uF equipped wiring by comparison to be clearer, and has served well. But I thought it might be useful to also offer the slightly more 'period correct' so to speak 0.047uF cap value as an option too. \u003cbr\u003eSince Fender introduced this particular way of wiring their Telecasters in the late 60s, they've used 0.047uF caps, and do still continued to do so on a number of models to this day. But must say a great deal of 'modern' production models have been featuring a 0.022uF, with both Fender and many aftermarket pickup makers recommending it for optimal use too.\u003cbr\u003eWhich is right for you, may simply down to personal preference, but if you're not sure or not familiar with these specs understandbly, I would firstly recommend double checking the recommended specs by the pickup maker\/model you have in your Tele or plan to fit to your Tele. \u003cbr\u003eTo briefly summarise, the 0.047uF by comparison to the 0.022uF will have a subtly 'darker'\/warmer tone from full throughout the tone pot sweep, and if you A\/B'd the same guitar with the tone pot set at 0 between the 0.047uF to the 0.022uF it would be noticable darker. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWith or without Treble Bleed?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFirst up, what does it do? A Treble Bleed kit takes the 'high' treble tone frequencies out of the circuit at the volume pot, and puts them back in the circuit as the signal leaves the volume pot. This means the treble frequencies are prevented from naturally bleeding out of the circuit as your turn your volume pot down. The result is a smoothed out treble and a more uniform tone from 1 to 10. Reducing the treble drop out as the volume pot rolls off. Some guitar players wouldn't be without a treble bleed, and many have never used one on their guitars. Truth is, it is very much personal preference. If you like the idea of retaining treble as you roll your volume pot down, then a treble bleed is for you! As standard I use the .001uF \u0026amp; 120kOhm parallel wired treble bleed mod. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI have intended for my wiring harnesses to be as simple as possible to install to your Telecaster, as well as writing in depth \u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Full_Install_Guide_PDF_2023.pdf?v=1692189523\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Full_Install_Guide_PDF_2023.pdf?v=1692189523\"\u003egeneral fitting guides\u003c\/a\u003e and simple to follow \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/pages\/two-pickup-guitars\" title=\"Tele wiring diagrams\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ewiring diagrams\u003c\/a\u003e for each wiring style\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/pages\/signature-series-wiring-diagrams\" title=\"Home of Tone wiring diagrams\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/pages\/signature-series-wiring-diagrams\"\u003e.\u003c\/a\u003e There are also multiple useful how-to guides regarding wiring work found \u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/pages\/step-by-step-guides\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/pages\/step-by-step-guides\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e too.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

First time soldering and hear the horror stories of frying pots, or just simply want to neaten up your installs? Then the awesome 'Ground Bug' will help with any of these concerns, beginner or pro modders alike. The Ground Bug is a pot washer that fits between the pot casing and the pickguard\/body and has a number of lugs (much like with the main signal connections on the pot for example) to which you can very easily solder your ground wire connections too. Completely removing the worry and risk of soldering a pot casing, something I know many guitarists complain about having to learn to do. \u003cbr\u003eI have been stocking Ground Bugs for a while, and they really are the perfect match for a pre-wired harness as they further help you with your installs. So I have set up a 10% off Ground Bug deals when purchased with a Home of Tone Signature Series pre-wired harness. This is an automatic discount code, so all you need to have is a Signature Series kit, and a Ground bug in your cart, and the discount will automatically be applied to the bug for you! \u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Ground Bug - Guitar pot soldering washer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/collections\/ground-bugs\/products\/swannell-guitars-daddy-long-legs-ground-bug-ground-lug-pot-washer?variant=45159458799871\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/collections\/ground-bugs\/products\/swannell-guitars-daddy-long-legs-ground-bug-ground-lug-pot-washer?variant=45159458799871\"\u003eClick HERE to view the Ground Bug listing (We recommend the 'Daddy Long Legs' Ground Bug for tighter Telecaster control cavities.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDo you make custom harnesses?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI'm afraid I do not offer a custom harness service.

I want my Signature Series wiring harness for this legendary guitar to earn the right to be a small part of that through a choice of quality components and respect for it's design. The schematic is a simple recipe, based upon the late 60s wiring methods which is perhaps the most commonly known and broadly liked wiring style for Teles. Earlier 60s and 50s 2 pickup Teles were wired from the factory with what most players would find 'quirky' switching and tones, known as the Dark Circuit wiring style. This specific pre-wired kit however is the wiring style most of us would be familiar with and come to expect from Tele controls and tones. I hope it helps you get the most out of your pickups, and your tele with reliable use for many years to come.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis schematic is the super popular 4-way mod, retaining the traditional 3 position Telecaster sounds but with an additional position putting the two single coils in series for a chunkier sound. The parts chosen simply aim to bring out the best in your telecaster's pickups, and aim to do so for many years to come. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis in particular, is for the left handed orientation spec kit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note, website example photo(s) may differ visually from the wiring kit you receive.

Regular right handed audio taper pots (clockwise rotation direction to increase from 0 to 10), or with reverse\/left handed audio taper pots (anti-clockwise rotation direction to increase from 0 to 10). Which you select ultimatly comes down to which spec you personally prefer to use. I have found from the years of offering these kits, researching the specs and speaking with many left handed players, that these preferences most definitely vary. This most likely is a result of inconsistencies between guitar brands, in how they wire guitars. Therefore a player might get used to using their pots a specific turn direction. \u003cbr\u003eAs a result, I wanted to offer the choice of which pot spec you can order your kit to be made with. If you like your pots to turn clockwise from 0 to 10, then select right handed audio taper pots, whereas if you prefer your pots to turn anti-clockwise from 0 to 10, then select reverse\/left handed audio taper pots. I hope this helps\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSwitching method\/option?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eTraditionally, 4 way Telecaster wiring sees positions 1 to 3 the same as a standard 3 position tele, Bridge only, bridge and neck in parallel, and neck only, and then position 4 providing you with the bridge and neck in series position. If you've picked up a factory made Tele with 4 way wiring, this is likely the switching method you have found on it. So if this is how you'd like your 4 way kit to be wired, select the 'Standard\/Traditional 4 way switching' option.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut if you find the above method a bit strange in use, and would prefer another approach, then I also offer this kit with a tweaked switch layout. This puts both of the series and the parallel combinations in the middle 2nd and 3rd switch positions. This gives you the neck, and the bridge only sounds in the outer two switch positions, much like with a 3 way switch. So to confirm, for this option you're looking at Position 1 - Bridge, Position 2 - bridge and neck in parallel, Position 3 -  bridge and neck in series and Position 4 - neck only.\u003cbr\u003eNo right or wrong, just how you think you would prefer to use the switch on your Tele!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWith or without Treble Bleed?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eFirst up, what does it do? A Treble Bleed kit takes the 'high' treble tone frequencies out of the circuit at the volume pot, and puts them back in the circuit as the signal leaves the volume pot. This means the treble frequencies are prevented from naturally bleeding out of the circuit as your turn your volume pot down. The result is a smoothed out treble and a more uniform tone from 1 to 10. Reducing the treble drop out as the volume pot rolls off. Some guitar players wouldn't be without a treble bleed, and many have never used one on their guitars. Truth is, it is very much personal preference. If you like the idea of retaining treble as you roll your volume pot down, then a treble bleed is for you! As standard I use the .001uF \u0026amp; 120kOhm parallel wired treble bleed mod. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI have intended for my wiring harnesses to be as simple as possible to install to your Telecaster, as well as writing in depth \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Full_Install_Guide_PDF_2023.pdf?v=1692189523\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Full_Install_Guide_PDF_2023.pdf?v=1692189523\"\u003egeneral fitting guides\u003c\/a\u003e and simple to follow \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/pages\/two-pickup-guitars\" title=\"Tele wiring diagrams\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ewiring diagrams\u003c\/a\u003e for each wiring style\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/pages\/signature-series-wiring-diagrams\" title=\"Home of Tone wiring diagrams\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/pages\/signature-series-wiring-diagrams\"\u003e.\u003c\/a\u003e There are also multiple useful how-to guides regarding wiring work found \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/pages\/step-by-step-guides\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/pages\/step-by-step-guides\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e too.

I have written a guide to do this \u003ca title=\"Prepping your Tele neck pickup for 4 way switching\" href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/blogs\/news\/how-to-guide-what-do-i-need-to-do-to-my-tele-neck-pick-for-it-to-work-with-4-way-switching\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e but if you are at all unsure about doing this, I would highly recommend supporting your local trusted Tech to carry out the modification for you. This is also shown on the wiring diagram to follow, but please keep this in mind, correct grounding is essential for this schematic to work as it should.\u003ca title=\"4-way Telecaster wiring diagram for right handed Telecasters\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/SS_4_way.pdf?5774\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003eI have written a blog article, detailing the steps taken when installing a 4 way wiring harness.

Not all control plates can accommodate for a 4 way switch without minor modification. Some players file a very small amount off the slot in the plate, and some players prefer to file a little notch in the 4 way lever. But you can also buy Tele control plates that already have a slot wide enough to accomodate a 4 way lever, like the ones I stock \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/collections\/hardware\/products\/telecaster-control-plate-for-4-way-switch-usa-specs-nickel-chrome-gold-black?variant=40949341782215\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCan I fit this kit myself?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis 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 have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

First time soldering and hear the horror stories of frying pots, or just simply want to neaten up your installs? Then the awesome 'Ground Bug' will help with any of these concerns, beginner or pro modders alike. The Ground Bug is a pot washer that fits between the pot casing and the pickguard\/body and has a number of lugs (much like with the main signal connections on the pot for example) to which you can very easily solder your ground wire connections too. Completely removing the worry and risk of soldering a pot casing, something I know many guitarists complain about having to learn to do. \u003cbr\u003eI have been stocking Ground Bugs for a while, and they really are the perfect match for a pre-wired harness as they further help you with your installs.

I first become interested in them at the age of 5, seeing the likes of Hendrix, Clapton, SRV and Gilmour playing them on concert VHS tapes that my parents would put on whilst growing up. Although I was young, I soon noticed that all these people were playing the same type of guitar, and that really caught my eye. On my 6th birthday I asked for a guitar, and was incredibly lucky enough to have received a Squier Strat, and the Strat in general was pretty much all I played right up until my 30s. So needless to say, the Strat harness range is close to my heart and something I wanted to ensure is the best quality product I could offer to help bring out the best in your Strat too. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the 'blender' harness which gives Strat players a chance to capture another tone, the Neck \u0026amp; Bridge position, without often awkward Push\/Pull pots or additional switches needing to be added to your pickguard. You have a master volume and master tone, but in place of the 2nd tone control you instead have a 'blend' control, which allows you to add as much or as little of either the neck or the bridge pickup depending on which position you are in. Giving you a Tele esq neck and bridge sound, but with you in control of how much. It's a simple idea, and I certainly don't claim to have come up with it, this is merely my humble recreation of this great alternative Strat wiring solution. \u003cspan\u003eI have also spec'd this kit with a slightly more modern voiced .022uF spec tone capacitor.

Without a 'treble bleed', when you roll down the volume pot it will naturally lose some of the treble frequencies through the sweep. Strat players in particular might be familiar with this as they are susceptible to it. So, A Treble Bleed kit takes the 'high' treble tone frequencies out of the circuit at the volume pot, and puts them back in the circuit as the signal leaves the volume pot. This means the treble frequencies are prevented from naturally bleeding out of the circuit as your turn your volume pot down. The result is a smoothed out treble and a more uniform tone from 1 to 10. Reducing the treble drop out as the volume pot rolls off. Some guitar players wouldn't be without a treble bleed, and many have never used one on their guitars. Truth is, it is very much personal preference. If you like the idea of retaining treble as you roll your volume pot down, then a treble bleed is for you! For the standard spec, I use a ceramic .001uF capacitor with a carbon film 120kOhm resistor parallel wired.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge\/vibrato claw ground wire\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eI have decided to make this option available, as many of you may be using this wiring kit on a new, partscaster type build for example.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

First time soldering and hear the horror stories of frying pots, or just simply want to neaten up your installs? Then the awesome 'Ground Bug' will help with any of these concerns, beginner or pro modders alike. The Ground Bug is a pot washer that fits between the pot casing and the pickguard\/body and has a number of lugs (much like with the main signal connections on the pot for example) to which you can very easily solder your ground wire connections too. Completely removing the worry and risk of soldering a pot casing, something I know many guitarists complain about having to learn to do. \u003cbr\u003eI have been stocking Ground Bugs for a while, and they really are the perfect match for a pre-wired harness as they further help you with your installs. So I have set up a 10% off Ground Bug deals when purchased with a Home of Tone Signature Series pre-wired harness.

This spec kit will also perfectly suit P90\/Single coil config Teles too.\u003cbr\u003eBut mixing pickup types highlights a particular issue when it comes to wiring, the pot choice compromise! Do you opt for the more traditional Tele choice of 250k pots, which can lead to a dark sounding humbucker position. Or a 500k pot which could lead to an overly bridge Tele single coil sound. Some players may well prefer either of those anyway, but if you'd rather do your best to reduce the compromise and try to help each pickup sound it's best, then this harness may be of some help to you! \u003cbr\u003eIt does use 500k pots, but the single coil position runs alongside a 470kOhm resistor meaning the humbucker will 'see' it's preferred 500k pot rating, and the single coil will 'see' closer to it's preferred 250k pot rating.

A Treble Bleed kit takes the 'high' treble tone frequencies out of the circuit at the volume pot, and puts them back in the circuit as the signal leaves the volume pot. This means the treble frequencies are prevented from naturally bleeding out of the circuit as your turn your volume pot down. The result is a smoothed out treble and a more uniform tone from 1 to 10. Reducing the treble drop out as the volume pot rolls off. Some guitar players wouldn't be without a treble bleed, and many have never used one on their guitars. Truth is, it is very much personal preference. If you like the idea of retaining treble as you roll your volume pot down, then a treble bleed is for you! As standard I use the .001uF \u0026amp; 120kOhm parallel wired treble bleed mod. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePot shaft type?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTraditionally you would expect to see Solid Shaft pots used in a Telecaster.

If you're fitting this harness to a far east built guitar such as a Squier or similar brand, 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.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

First time soldering and hear the horror stories of frying pots, or just simply want to neaten up your installs? Then the awesome 'Ground Bug' will help with any of these concerns, beginner or pro modders alike. The Ground Bug is a pot washer that fits between the pot casing and the pickguard\/body and has a number of lugs (much like with the main signal connections on the pot for example) to which you can very easily solder your ground wire connections too. Completely removing the worry and risk of soldering a pot casing, something I know many guitarists complain about having to learn to do. \u003cbr\u003eI have been stocking Ground Bugs for a while, and they really are the perfect match for a pre-wired harness as they further help you with your installs. So I have set up a 10% off Ground Bug deals when purchased with a Home of Tone Signature Series pre-wired harness.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

First time soldering and hear the horror stories of frying pots, or just simply want to neaten up your installs? Then the awesome 'Ground Bug' will help with any of these concerns, beginner or pro modders alike. The Ground Bug is a pot washer that fits between the pot casing and the pickguard\/body and has a number of lugs (much like with the main signal connections on the pot for example) to which you can very easily solder your ground wire connections too. Completely removing the worry and risk of soldering a pot casing, something I know many guitarists complain about having to learn to do. \u003cbr\u003eI have been stocking Ground Bugs for a while, and they really are the perfect match for a pre-wired harness as they further help you with your installs. So I have set up a 10% off Ground Bug deals when purchased with a Home of Tone Signature Series pre-wired harness.

I want my Signature Series wiring harness for this legendary guitar to earn the right to be a small part of that through a choice of quality components and respect for it's design. This schematic is the super popular 4-way mod, retaining the traditional 3 position Telecaster sounds but with an additional position putting the two single coils in series for a chunkier sound. The parts chosen simply aim to bring out the best in your telecaster's pickups, and aim to do so for many years to come. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Options\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSwitching method\/option?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eTraditionally, 4 way Telecaster wiring sees positions 1 to 3 the same as a standard 3 position tele, Bridge only, bridge and neck in parallel, and neck only, and then position 4 providing you with the bridge and neck in series position. If you've picked up a factory made Tele with 4 way wiring, this is likely the switching method you have found on it. So if this is how you'd like your 4 way kit to be wired, select the 'Standard\/Traditional 4 way switching' option.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut if you find the above method a bit strange in use, and would prefer another approach, then I also offer this kit with a tweaked switch layout. This puts both of the series and the parallel combinations in the middle 2nd and 3rd switch positions. This gives you the neck, and the bridge only sounds in the outer two switch positions, much like with a 3 way switch. So to confirm, for this option you're looking at Position 1 - Bridge, Position 2 - bridge and neck in parallel, Position 3 -  bridge and neck in series and Position 4 - neck only.\u003cbr\u003eNo right or wrong, just how you think you would prefer to use the switch on your Tele!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eTone capacitor value\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eSince Fender introduced this particular way of wiring their Telecasters, they've used 0.05uF caps, and do still continued to do so on a number of models to this day. But must say a great deal of 'modern' production models have been featuring a 0.02uF, with both Fender and many aftermarket pickup makers recommending it for optimal use too.\u003cbr\u003eWhich is right for you, may simply down to personal preference, but if you're not sure or not familiar with these specs understandbly, I would firstly recommend double checking the recommended specs by the pickup maker\/model you have in your Tele or plan to fit to your Tele. \u003cbr\u003eTo briefly summarise, the 0.05uF by comparison to the 0.02uF will have a subtly 'darker'\/warmer tone from full throughout the tone pot sweep, and if you A\/B'd the same guitar with the tone pot set at 0 between the 0.05uF to the 0.02uF it would be noticable darker. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWith or without Treble Bleed?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFirst up, what does it do? A Treble Bleed kit takes the 'high' treble tone frequencies out of the circuit at the volume pot, and puts them back in the circuit as the signal leaves the volume pot. This means the treble frequencies are prevented from naturally bleeding out of the circuit as your turn your volume pot down. The result is a smoothed out treble and a more uniform tone from 1 to 10. Reducing the treble drop out as the volume pot rolls off. Some guitar players wouldn't be without a treble bleed, and many have never used one on their guitars. Truth is, it is very much personal preference. If you like the idea of retaining treble as you roll your volume pot down, then a treble bleed is for you! As standard I use the .001uF \u0026amp; 120kOhm parallel wired treble bleed mod. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWiring diagram and wiring info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-Wired kit general fitting guide - \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Full_Install_Guide_PDF_2023.pdf?v=1692189523\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWiring Diagrams\u003cbr\u003eTraditional 4 way switching - \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Traditional 4 way Telecaster wiring diagram\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Tele_4_way_RH.pdf?v=1784128798\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUpdated 4 way switching - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Tele_4_way_RH_Updated.pdf?v=1784128916\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Updated telecaster 4 way wiring diagram\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoldering ground wires to pot casings - \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PB9y3sEXhsU\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWiring FAQs - \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/pages\/wiring-kit-faqs\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI have intended for my wiring harnesses to be as simple as possible to install to your Telecaster, b\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eut in this section you'll find some important fitting notes that will hopefully help you assess whether the kit is suitable for your exact Tele or what is required to allow it to fit correctly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eImportant note regarding wiring 4 way switching\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eFitting a 4 way telecaster harness is a little different to a conventional 3 way harness, in that the neck pickup could need modifying depending on how it has been made by the pickup manufacturer.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

First time soldering and hear the horror stories of frying pots, or just simply want to neaten up your installs?

The Ground Bug is a pot washer that fits between the pot casing and the pickguard\/body and has a number of lugs (much like with the main signal connections on the pot for example) to which you can very easily solder your ground wire connections too. Completely removing the worry and risk of soldering a pot casing, something I know many guitarists complain about having to learn to do. \u003cbr\u003eI have been stocking Ground Bugs for a while, and they really are the perfect match for a pre-wired harness as they further help you with your installs.

I first become interested in them at the age of 5, seeing the likes of Hendrix, Clapton, SRV and Gilmour playing them on concert VHS tapes that my parents would put on whilst growing up. Although I was young, I soon noticed that all these people were playing the same type of guitar, and that really caught my eye. On my 6th birthday I asked for a guitar, and was incredibly lucky enough to have received a Squier Strat, and the Strat in general was pretty much all I played right up until my 30s. So needless to say, the Strat harness range is close to my heart and something I wanted to ensure is the best quality product I could offer to help bring out the best in your Strat too. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the 'HSH' harness for Strats with a Humbucker neck, single coil middle \u0026amp; humbucker bridge configuration. Guitars with a mixture of Humbuckers and Single coils can\u003cspan\u003e offer a particular issue when it comes to wiring, the pot choice compromise! Do you opt for the more traditional Single coil choice of 250k pots, which can lead to a dark sounding humbucker position. Or a 500k pot which will get the best from the humbucker but could lead to an overly bright single coil sound. Some players may well prefer either of those anyway, but if you'd rather reduce the compromise and try to help each pickup sound it's best, then this harness may be of some help to you! It does use a 500k volume pot, but the single coil runs alongside a 470kOhm resistor meaning the humbucker will 'see' it's preferred 500k pot rating, and the single coil will 'see' closer to it's preferred 250k pot rating.

Or alternatively, so we can use the correct value tone pots for the different pickup types, have the Tone pot 1 as 500k for the neck and bridge humbucker, and Tone pot 2 as 250k for the middle single coil. After some testing, and the added benefits of using more 'optimal' pot values for the specific pickups, I have landed on the latter as noted below.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaster Volume\u003cbr\u003eTone 1 - Neck Humbucker and Bridge Humbucker\u003cbr\u003eTone 2 - Middle Single Coil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePosition 1 - Bridge Humbucker \u003cbr\u003ePosition 2 - Middle Single coil and Bridge humbucker Parallel\u003cbr\u003ePosition 3 - Middle single coil\u003cbr\u003ePosition 4 - Neck humbucker and Middle single coil Parallel\u003cbr\u003ePosition 5 - Neck humbucker\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note, website example photo(s) may differ visually from the wiring kit you receive.

Without a 'treble bleed', when you roll down the volume pot it will naturally lose some of the treble frequencies through the sweep. Strat players in particular might be familiar with this as they are susceptible to it. So, A Treble Bleed kit takes the 'high' treble tone frequencies out of the circuit at the volume pot, and puts them back in the circuit as the signal leaves the volume pot. This means the treble frequencies are prevented from naturally bleeding out of the circuit as your turn your volume pot down. The result is a smoothed out treble and a more uniform tone from 1 to 10. Reducing the treble drop out as the volume pot rolls off. Some guitar players wouldn't be without a treble bleed, and many have never used one on their guitars. Truth is, it is very much personal preference. If you like the idea of retaining treble as you roll your volume pot down, then a treble bleed is for you! For the standard spec, I use a ceramic .001uF capacitor with a carbon film 120kOhm resistor parallel wired.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge\/vibrato claw ground wire\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eI have decided to make this option available, as many of you may be using this wiring kit on a new, partscaster type build for example.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

First time soldering and hear the horror stories of frying pots, or just simply want to neaten up your installs? Then the awesome 'Ground Bug' will help with any of these concerns, beginner or pro modders alike. The Ground Bug is a pot washer that fits between the pot casing and the pickguard\/body and has a number of lugs (much like with the main signal connections on the pot for example) to which you can very easily solder your ground wire connections too. Completely removing the worry and risk of soldering a pot casing, something I know many guitarists complain about having to learn to do. \u003cbr\u003eI have been stocking Ground Bugs for a while, and they really are the perfect match for a pre-wired harness as they further help you with your installs.

I first become interested in them at the age of 5, seeing the likes of Hendrix, Clapton, SRV and Gilmour playing them on concert VHS tapes that my parents would put on whilst growing up. Although I was young, I soon noticed that all these people were playing the same type of guitar, and that really caught my eye. On my 6th birthday I asked for a guitar, and was incredibly lucky enough to have received a Squier Strat, and the Strat in general was pretty much all I played right up until my 30s. So needless to say, the Strat harness range is close to my heart and something I wanted to ensure is the best quality product I could offer to help bring out the best in your Strat too. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the 'HSS' harness for Strats with a Single coil neck, single coil middle \u0026amp; humbucker bridge configuration. Guitars with a mixture of Humbuckers and Single coils can offer a particular issue when it comes to wiring, the pot choice compromise! Do you opt for the more traditional Single coil choice of 250k pots, which can lead to a dark sounding humbucker position. Or a 500k pot which will get the best from the humbucker but could lead to an overly bright single coil sound. Some players may well prefer either of those anyway, but if you'd rather reduce the compromise and try to help each pickup sound it's best, then this harness may be of some help to you! It does use a 500k pot for volume, but the single coil runs alongside a 470k resistor meaning the humbucker will 'see' it's preferred 500k pot rating, and the single coil will 'see' closer to it's preferred 250k pot rating. The for the tone pots, each pickup has it's correct spec pot value of 250k for single coil neck and middle and 500k for bridge humbucker. Needless to say, I'm not claiming this to be THE solution for everyone, but it has proved to be really popular for an awful lot of players who have seen\/heard the benefits of this set-up.\u003cbr\u003eMy main guitar for many years was a HSS Strat, which had a coil split for the bridge. Having this option meant I spent many years playing it and getting a feel for it's uses and sound. I came to the conclusion that I personally really enjoyed the non-coil split sounds from it all, and that includes the non split tone in '2nd' position. So this harness does not split the humbucker coils, nor 'auto-split' in the 2nd. It provides you with a simple 2nd position that keeps the standard series bridge humbucker, placed in parallel with the middle single coil and I personally really like the unique tones of a HSS strat, I found I continually embraced that during my years of HSS ownership. So this kit is an homage to that. I also disliked the noticable volume drop of auto-split, and manually coil split 2nd position strats, you more often than not, get a volume drop when coil splitting a humbucker, so pair that with the additional volume drop you get when two pickups are in parallel, and you suddenly get a very weak, thin and lacklustre position two. Not coil splitting in this position, keeping the humbucker as is, in series, to my ear, was so much better so that's the standard option on this kit. Hope it gets the same enjoyable results for your HSS strat too!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStandard kit - \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaster Volume\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTone 1 - Neck Single Coil and Middle Single Coil\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTone 2 - Bridge Humbucker\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePosition 1 - Bridge Humbucker \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePosition 2 - Middle Single coil in parallel with the Bridge standard series humbucker\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePosition 3 - Middle single coil\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePosition 4 - Neck Single Coil and Middle single coil Parallel together\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePosition 5 - Neck Single Coil\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Options\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWith or without Treble Bleed?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFirst up, what does it do? Without a 'treble bleed', when you roll down the volume pot it will naturally lose some of the treble frequencies through the sweep. Strat players in particular might be familiar with this as they are susceptible to it. So, A Treble Bleed kit takes the 'high' treble tone frequencies out of the circuit at the volume pot, and puts them back in the circuit as the signal leaves the volume pot. This means the treble frequencies are prevented from naturally bleeding out of the circuit as your turn your volume pot down. The result is a smoothed out treble and a more uniform tone from 1 to 10. Reducing the treble drop out as the volume pot rolls off. Some guitar players wouldn't be without a treble bleed, and many have never used one on their guitars. Truth is, it is very much personal preference. If you like the idea of retaining treble as you roll your volume pot down, then a treble bleed is for you! For the standard spec, I use a ceramic .001uF capacitor with a carbon film 120kOhm resistor parallel wired.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge\/vibrato claw ground wire\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eI have decided to make this option available, as many of you may be using this wiring kit on a new, partscaster type build for example.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

A Treble Bleed kit takes the 'high' treble tone frequencies out of the circuit at the volume pot, and puts them back in the circuit as the signal leaves the volume pot. This means the treble frequencies are prevented from naturally bleeding out of the circuit as your turn your volume pot down. The result is a smoothed out treble and a more uniform tone from 1 to 10. Reducing the treble drop out as the volume pot rolls off. Some guitar players wouldn't be without a treble bleed, and many have never used one on their guitars. Truth is, it is very much personal preference. If you like the idea of retaining treble as you roll your volume pot down, then a treble bleed is for you!

Or alternatively, purchase a new control plate that is already suited to the US spec components. 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 control plate and\/or jackplate with 0.394\" \/ 10mm pot\/jack mounting holes.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

The Ground Bug is a pot washer that fits between the pot casing and the pickguard\/body and has a number of lugs (much like with the main signal connections on the pot for example) to which you can very easily solder your ground wire connections too. Completely removing the worry and risk of soldering a pot casing, something I know many guitarists complain about having to learn to do. \u003cbr\u003eI have been stocking Ground Bugs for a while, and they really are the perfect match for a pre-wired harness as they further help you with your installs.

A great solution to replacing your LPs 3 way toggle with minimal soldering required.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis particular product being specifically for gold versions of the LP toggle kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct options\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI have opted to provide you with a choice of Switchcraft switch depending on which your Les Paul requires. This choice is between the traditional 'long frame' toggle, or the more modern 'short frame' toggle. \u003cbr\u003eA traditional long frame toggle will only fit specific variants of Les Paul, as the cavity\/body depth needs to accomodate the larger housing switch itself. Some models of Les Paul, for example the Les Paul Special, will not accomodate a long frame switch. The Switchcraft long frame toggle switch internally measures 38.5mm so needs a minimum switch cavity depth of 40mm. I include an 'extended thread' mount nut with this long frame toggle switch type, as these are required to fit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA short frame version of Switchcrafts 3 way toggle I have found from experience fits within the toggle cavity of a LP much better, meaning wires aren't squished in there, and also the threaded part is much longer meaning you won't need an additional recessed nut to fit. You can use the spin on nut provided with the switch.

The selector switch offers Esquire players variations of tone and the Eldred mod develops that further. It provides you with a pretty traditional 'Tele' bridge pickup sound and volume\/tone controls. Along with a selector switch position where the tone control is bypassed completely, then the 'mod' aspect is the third position which again sees the tone control bypassed, only this time the signal passes through a fixed .0047uF(4700pF) capacitor cocked wah type sound or vocal like sound. Whilst using the guitars volume pot, you can achieve some great 'on-guitar' effects  It's a unique sound, but one that has proved really popular courtesy of the Eldred Mod to Esquire players.\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note, website example photo(s) may differ visually from the wiring kit you receive.

For many years (bulk of the 8+ years I've been making these for that matter) as standard I have installed 0.02uF value tone cap to this kit. I opted for this as standard as I consider this a really versatile, 'modern' so to speak cap value choice and has served very well as a standard option over the years. In our trusty guitar player terms, I personally find the 0.02uF equipped wiring by comparison to be clearer, and has served well. But I thought it might be useful to also offer the slightly more 'period correct' so to speak 0.05uF cap value as an option too.\u003cbr\u003eSince Fender introduced Esquires in 50s, they've used 0.05uF caps as the main tone cap spec, and do still continued to do so on a number of models to this day. But must say a great deal of 'modern' production models have been featuring a 0.02uF, with both Fender and many aftermarket pickup makers recommending it for optimal use too.\u003cbr\u003eWhich is right for you, may simply down to personal preference, but if you're not sure or not familiar with these specs understandbly, I would firstly recommend double checking the recommended specs by the pickup maker\/model you have in your Esquire or plan to fit to your Esquire. \u003cbr\u003eTo briefly summarise, the 0.05uF by comparison to the 0.02uF will have a subtly 'darker'\/warmer tone from full throughout the tone pot sweep, and if you A\/B'd the same guitar with the tone pot set at 0 between the 0.05uF to the 0.02uF it would be noticable darker. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWith or without Treble Bleed?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFirst up, what does it do? A Treble Bleed kit takes the 'high' treble tone frequencies out of the circuit at the volume pot, and puts them back in the circuit as the signal leaves the volume pot. This means the treble frequencies are prevented from naturally bleeding out of the circuit as your turn your volume pot down. The result is a smoothed out treble and a more uniform tone from 1 to 10. Reducing the treble drop out as the volume pot rolls off. Some guitar players wouldn't be without a treble bleed, and many have never used one on their guitars. Truth is, it is very much personal preference. If you like the idea of retaining treble as you roll your volume pot down, then a treble bleed is for you! As standard I use the .001uF \u0026amp; 120kOhm parallel wired treble bleed mod. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWiring diagram and wiring info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-Wired kit general fitting guide - \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Full_Install_Guide_PDF_2023.pdf?v=1692189523\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWiring Diagram - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Esquire_Eldred_Mod_RH.pdf?v=1784127069\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Esquire eldred wiring diagram\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoldering ground wires to pot casings - \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PB9y3sEXhsU\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWiring FAQs - \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/pages\/wiring-kit-faqs\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI have intended for my wiring harnesses to be as simple as possible to install to your Telecaster, b\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eut in this section you'll find some important fitting notes that will hopefully help you assess whether the kit is suitable for your exact Tele or what is required to allow it to fit correctly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eCan I fit this kit myself?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/pages\/harness-fitting-guide\" target=\"_blank\"\u003einstallation guides\u003c\/a\u003e 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. \u003cbr\u003eIf 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the pots\/jack fit my control plate and jack plate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe components I use in my Signature Series wiring kits are for the most part, USA imperial specification. If you're fitting this harness to a far east built guitar such as a Squier or similar brand, 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.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

First time soldering and hear the horror stories of frying pots, or just simply want to neaten up your installs? Then the awesome 'Ground Bug' will help with any of these concerns, beginner or pro modders alike. The Ground Bug is a pot washer that fits between the pot casing and the pickguard\/body and has a number of lugs (much like with the main signal connections on the pot for example) to which you can very easily solder your ground wire connections too. Completely removing the worry and risk of soldering a pot casing, something I know many guitarists complain about having to learn to do. \u003cbr\u003eI have been stocking Ground Bugs for a while, and they really are the perfect match for a pre-wired harness as they further help you with your installs. So I have set up a 10% off Ground Bug deals when purchased with a Home of Tone Signature Series pre-wired harness.

As the production eras progressed, this commonly transitioned into 500k pot specs from the factory. Some even sporting 250k pots too which I've seen in numerous MIM Customs. Ultimately, I feel a true Wide Range Humbucker design is at it's best with 1MEG pots, by design they're a very warm pickup so the 1MEG pots really help bring out the best in their frequency range and response. If you like the warmth from these pickups though you can embrace that with 500k pots. But also, many of the modern day recreations\/reissues of these WRH pickups are sometimes a little closer to regular PAF humbuckers with WRH style covers on, which are actually designed for 500k pots. Not sure what your pickups are, then I would recommend referring to the manufacturer to clarify. But I offer the choice between 1MEG or 500k pots in my Telecaster Custom kit for the neck position to allow you to choose a spec that best suits the sound you're after or the pickup set you have. \u003cbr\u003eIf you have a Deluxe that is equipped with regular, PAF style humbuckers or P90s perhaps, then I would say the 500k option is the way to go. \u003cspan\u003eThe bridge position pot value is 250k as standard to best suit the single coil bridge pickup.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWith or without Treble Bleed?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFirst up, what does it do? A Treble Bleed kit takes the 'high' treble tone frequencies out of the circuit at the volume pot, and puts them back in the circuit as the signal leaves the volume pot. This means the treble frequencies are prevented from naturally bleeding out of the circuit as your turn your volume pot down. The result is a smoothed out treble and a more uniform tone from 1 to 10. Reducing the treble drop out as the volume pot rolls off. Some guitar players wouldn't be without a treble bleed, and many have never used one on their guitars. Truth is, it is very much personal preference. If you like the idea of retaining treble as you roll your volume pot down, then a treble bleed is for you! As standard I use the .001uF \u0026amp; 120kOhm parallel wired treble bleed mod. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch type\/spec\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI offer this kit with a choice of toggle switch styles to match your guitar's specifications.

The CTS pots have a mounting thread shaft diameter of 0.370\" \/ 9.4mm so I recommend for ease of install a pickguard with a 0.394\" \/ 10mm pot mounting hole.\u003cbr\u003eThe jack socket I use in this kit again is imperial specification\/thread, the outer thread diameter measures 0.367\" \/ 9.32mm and ideally requires a 0.394\" \/ 10mm hole to comfortably mount.\u003cbr\u003eThe Switchcraft toggle switch has a mounting thread diameter of 0.462\" \/ 11.75mm so ideally needs a 0.472\" \/ 12mm hole to comfortably mount.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCentre to centre measurements between components are - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCentre of switch to neck volume pot - 300mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCentre of neck volume pot to neck tone pot - 53mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCentre of bridge volume pot to bridge tone pot - 53mm\u003cbr\u003eThese measurements were taken from a Genuine Fender pickguard, but I do allow for 'give' in the wire lengths between components to allow for small differences so there is some wiggle room for installation, it's not a 'fixed' measurement by any means.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

First time soldering and hear the horror stories of frying pots, or just simply want to neaten up your installs? Then the awesome 'Ground Bug' will help with any of these concerns, beginner or pro modders alike. The Ground Bug is a pot washer that fits between the pot casing and the pickguard\/body and has a number of lugs (much like with the main signal connections on the pot for example) to which you can very easily solder your ground wire connections too. Completely removing the worry and risk of soldering a pot casing, something I know many guitarists complain about having to learn to do. \u003cbr\u003eI have been stocking Ground Bugs for a while, and they really are the perfect match for a pre-wired harness as they further help you with your installs. So I have set up a 10% off Ground Bug deals when purchased with a Home of Tone Signature Series pre-wired harness.

Simply put, a .022uF will sound a little brighter than a .033uF cap and is a very popular pairing for 500k pots or 250k pots (as well as a popular choice for humbuckers or P90s for example if your JM has alternative pickup types).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWith or without Treble Bleed?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eFirst up, what does it do? Without a 'treble bleed', when you roll down the volume pot it will naturally lose some of the treble frequencies through the sweep. A Treble Bleed kit takes the 'high' treble tone frequencies out of the circuit at the volume pot, and puts them back in the circuit as the signal leaves the volume pot. This means the treble frequencies are prevented from naturally bleeding out of the circuit as your turn your volume pot down. The result is a smoothed out treble and a more uniform tone from 1 to 10. Reducing the treble drop out as the volume pot rolls off. Some guitar players wouldn't be without a treble bleed, and many have never used one on their guitars. Truth is, it is very much personal preference. If you like the idea of retaining treble as you roll your volume pot down, then a treble bleed is for you! For the standard spec, I use a ceramic .001uF capacitor with a carbon film 120kOhm resistor parallel wired.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn a personal note, one thing I found with Jazzmasters is that due to their naturally bright tone, rolling off the 1MEG volume pot can naturally lose some of the brightness through the taper quite quickly. For some players this could be a handy tone shaper without having to also adjust the tone pot, but if you want the chime and brightness further down the volume sweep, a treble bleed will be helpful to you. This will help retain the otherwise 'lost' treble frequencies as the volume rolls down and puts it back into the signal helping maintain that JM chimey\/bright character right down the volume pot. But as treble bleed caps aren't for everyone, it's available as an option with or without. I must admit though, 1MEG audio taper pots in a JM seem to really benefit from a treble bleed cap I personally think!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWiring diagram and wiring info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-Wired kit general fitting guide - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Full_Install_Guide_PDF_2023.pdf?v=1692189523\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWiring Diagram - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/JM_Lead_Circuit_RH_4d049962-8746-4a92-b73a-3d2cdbc85922.pdf?v=1699352375\" title=\"Jazzmaster lead circuit only wiring diagram\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoldering ground wires to pot casings - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PB9y3sEXhsU\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWiring FAQs - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/pages\/wiring-kit-faqs\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI have intended for my wiring harnesses to be as simple as possible to install to your Jazzmaster, 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 JM or what is required to allow it to fit correctly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I fit this kit myself?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/pages\/harness-fitting-guide\" target=\"_blank\"\u003einstallation guides\u003c\/a\u003e 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. \u003cbr\u003eIf 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the pots\/jack fit my pickguard and jack plate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 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 USA or Mexico made Fender 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. 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 have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

First time soldering and hear the horror stories of frying pots, or just simply want to neaten up your installs? Then the awesome 'Ground Bug' will help with any of these concerns, beginner or pro modders alike. The Ground Bug is a pot washer that fits between the pot casing and the pickguard\/body and has a number of lugs (much like with the main signal connections on the pot for example) to which you can very easily solder your ground wire connections too. Completely removing the worry and risk of soldering a pot casing, something I know many guitarists complain about having to learn to do. \u003cbr\u003eI have been stocking Ground Bugs for a while, and they really are the perfect match for a pre-wired harness as they further help you with your installs. So I have set up a 10% off Ground Bug deals when purchased with a Home of Tone Signature Series pre-wired harness. This is an automatic discount code, so all you need to have is a Signature Series kit, and a Ground bug in your cart, and the discount will automatically be applied to the bug for you! \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Ground Bug - Guitar pot soldering washer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/collections\/ground-bugs\/products\/swannell-guitars-daddy-long-legs-ground-bug-ground-lug-pot-washer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClick HERE to view the Ground Bug listing\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDo you make custom harnesses?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI'm afraid I do not offer a custom harness service.

After offering a variety of specs over the years, I have found that traditional 50s style wiring has proved to be the most popular and that's the kit\/spec you're looking at here. 50's wiring refers to how the volume and tone pots are wired together via the tone capacitor. With traditional 50s style wiring the tone capacitor is soldered between the central output\/wiper lug 2 of the volume pot, and lug 3 of the tone pot, whilst the central output\/wiper lug 2 of the tone pot is soldered to ground. What many players find this does is 'improve' the interaction between all the controls for a more responsive and intuitive playing experience. Ultimately of course, this is subjective and whether this is right for you is only for you to decide. This wiring style was the standard install for Les Pauls made up until around 1962, so if you're hoping to wire your guitar true to the 'golden era' specs, then this is the wiring style for you. I will note that with 50s style wiring, you will have a very minor volume drop when rolling down the tone pots, this is the nature of the circuit. But conversly, you will retain a little more top end when rolling down the volume, think of it as the circuits 'natural' treble bleed mod so to speak. These are often things that make this a very popular wiring style, but they're things to consider as to whether it's right for you. If you want predictability, no volume drop when using the tone etc, then I would perhaps instead recommend modern wiring with treble bleeds, just a note anyway.\u003cbr\u003eThis kit is made with high quality components and a few spec choices which I hope to help the install process that little bit easier. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease note that this listing is specifically for the left handed spec kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct options\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePot taper\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfter a lot of research and left handed customer workshop jobs \u0026amp; orders over the years, it seems there isn't truly an industry standard when it comes to wiring left handed guitars. This is mainly because many guitar manufacturers simply fitted RH taper pots in LH taper guitars, wiring RH pots backwards resulting in inproper taper, or in some cases brands fitting correct LH audio taper pots.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI offer this kit with the choice of regular RH audio taper pots (clockwise turn direction to increase form 0 to 10), or with custom made LH\/reverse audio taper pots (anti-clockwise turn direction to increase from 0 to 10). The latter isn't a readily available long shaft pot spec from CTS, therefore I actually have to make those in-house, hence the difference in price. I essentially have to take apart a LH audio taper short shaft pot, use the contact pathway from that, and take apart a regular long shaft pot to install it within this housing. Then fully test the pot for functonality. As a result, the left handed\/reverse audio taper spec option does cost more than the RH pot taper option due to this additional labour and parts cost. But I felt it was still worth offering as an option for those players that much prefer LH taper but have otherwise not being able to use them due to the lack of supply of LH long shaft pots. Hope this options helps, and you can understand why this particular spec carries an upcharge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWith or without the toggle harness?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eThis ultimately comes down to your requirements for the work being carried out. If you're happy with the quality or condition of your existing toggle switch and jack, then you can simply order the pots only section of the harness meaning you can use your existing toggle switch and jack. But if you feel the quality or condition of your existing switch or jack isn't up to the job, then I also offer Les Paul harnesses as a complete kit including a new pre wired Switchcraft toggle switch and Pure Tone Multi contact jack socket. This kit uses a Switchcraft short frame 3 way toggle, and I have chosen those because they will fit a broader range of Les Paul models but also they feature a longer mounting thread length removing the need for an additional extended knurled nut. The pre-wired switch as standard is wired with traditional Gavitt braided wire, and they come with each wire colour coded to help with install. For left handed guitars, the colour coding is as follows - \u003cbr\u003eRed heat shrink wire - To bridge volume pot\u003cbr\u003eYellow heat shrink wire - To neck volume pot\u003cbr\u003eGreen heat shrink wire - To jack socket\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e.01uF or .022uF neck position tone cap value?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eTroubled by a dark sounding neck pickup? Well it's not totally un-common with Gibson type guitars or humbuckers in general so don't worry, you have some ways in which it can be improved. Although the standard spec harness will I'm sure help the pickup breathe and is ultimately the most popular spec choice, I now also with the choice of a .01uF value cap in the neck position instead to help clear up a darker sounding neck pickup. The difference is subtle but sometimes every little helps when fixing a muddy pickup position.\u003cbr\u003eThis is very much personal choice and\/or how you are finding the balance between the neck and bridge pickup currently.  The main thing to consider is whether you feel your neck pickup is too dark\/muddy compared to the bridge pickup. If it is and you want to try and help brighten it up a little, then a .01uF value cap in that position may be useful to you. If you like how your neck pickup sounds, then stick with a .022uF! It's the most popular choice and the 'go-to' cap value for most P90s and Humbuckers generally.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI have intended for my wiring harnesses to be as simple as possible to install to your Les Paul, as well as writing in depth \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Full_Install_Guide_PDF_2023.pdf?v=1692189523\" target=\"_blank\"\u003egeneral fitting guides\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and simple to follow \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/pages\/two-pickup-guitars\" title=\"Les Paul wiring diagrams\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ewiring diagrams\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e for each wiring style. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere are also multiple useful how-to guides regarding wiring work found \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/pages\/step-by-step-guides\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e too.

The CTS pots have a mounting thread shaft diameter of 0.369\" \/ 9.38mm so I recommend for ease of install a body mouting hole with 0.394\" \/ 10mm diameter. You can widen the holes in the body and I recommend doing this safely with a step cutter drill bit.

In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!). Although I feel I do my best in covering as much information as possible across the various product listings, fitting guides, wiring diagrams and more, I thought it might be helpful to put together an FAQ's page that covers some of the general additional questions I get asked.

First time soldering and hear the horror stories of frying pots, or just simply want to neaten up your installs? Then the awesome 'Ground Bug' will help with any of these concerns, beginner or pro modders alike. The Ground Bug is a pot washer that fits between the pot casing and the pickguard\/body and has a number of lugs (much like with the main signal connections on the pot for example) to which you can very easily solder your ground wire connections too. Completely removing the worry and risk of soldering a pot casing, something I know many guitarists complain about having to learn to do. \u003cbr\u003eI have been stocking Ground Bugs for a while, and they really are the perfect match for a pre-wired harness as they further help you with your installs. So I have set up a 10% off Ground Bug deals when purchased with a Home of Tone Signature Series pre-wired harness. This is an automatic discount code, so all you need to have is a Signature Series kit, and a Ground bug in your cart, and the discount will automatically be applied to the bug for you! On a typical Les Paul wiring install, I would recommend x2 Ground bugs, one for each volume pot so you can make all of the relevant ground solder connections to each volume. None should be required to make on your tone pots. Hope this helps! \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/collections\/shielding-misc-wiring-parts\/products\/swannell-guitars-ground-bug-ground-lug-pot-washer?variant=44137818194175\" title=\"Ground Bug - Guitar pot soldering washer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClick HERE to view the Ground Bug listing\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDo you make custom harnesses?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI'm afraid I do not offer a custom harness service.

I first become interested in them at the age of 5, seeing the likes of Hendrix, Clapton, SRV and Gilmour playing them on concert VHS tapes that my parents would put on whilst growing up. Although I was young, I soon noticed that all these people were playing the same type of guitar, and that really caught my eye. On my 6th birthday I asked for a guitar, and was incredibly lucky enough to have received a Squier Strat, and the Strat in general was pretty much all I played right up until my 30s. So needless to say, the Strat harness range is close to my heart and something I wanted to ensure is the best quality product I could offer to help bring out the best in your Strat too. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a further revision of my popular 'modern' Strat harness with the addition of solderless connections, meaning you can install this harness into your Strat without the need to touch a soldering iron. Which has a couple of benefits, perhaps if you're not particularly comfortable with soldering yet or maybe you plan on regularly swapping pickups, which this helps a great deal as it's a few screw connections and it's done.\u003cbr\u003eI call this the the 'modern' simply as it is a revision over the vintage style strat wiring where the bridge pickup has no tone control. Instead, on this harness you have Tone 1 controlling the tone for the Neck \u0026amp; Middle pickup, and Tone 2 controlling the tone for the bridge pickup. Nice and simple really!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note, website example photo(s) may differ visually from the wiring kit you receive. This could be for a number of reasons but ultimately, don't be alarmed if you do spot differences between the stock photo and your supplied kit.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat does 'Solderless' mean?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a fair question to ask\/wonder. The kit is of course soldered, my aim with the series was for the specs\/components all to match the Signature Series range, and also still be simple to maintain many years to come for any tech out there, not just by me. So you'll find all the same parts, pre-soldered in much the same way as I do with the traditional install Signature Series kits. Definitely do not worry about any loss in quality, any limitations in functionality or tone here, trust me, I am fussy and did a lot of A\/B testing and found the Solderless range to sound and work the very same way as a Signature Series kit. So yes, the kits are all pre-soldered, but in terms of the actual installation into a guitar, it is fully solderless for you. \u003cbr\u003eYour pickup wires and any ground wires simply connect into the easy quick connector blocks which I have mounted to the harness (usually secure ontop of pot casings) via a small screwdriver to secure each wire. Viola! This doesn't just benefit those that perhaps don't own soldering equipment or even those that simply hate soldering, it benefits accomplished DIY guitar modders too, as it is great for quick and mess-free pickup swaps too which can be great for experimenting. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I connect everything?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"data:image\/png;base64,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\" alt=\"\"\u003eThe Solderless series follows a simple colour code system to help guide you where to put each pickup \u0026amp; ground wires.

First step is to push back some of the outer metal braiding. Then using some needle nose pliers or a small screwdriver, separate some of the braiding so you can twist and form a off-shoot of wire. This will be your ground, so with that twist of wire pop that into the connector block and tighten. Then your central core wire is the 'hot' signal wire and goes into the relevant connector block via the same methods as prior, exposing around 5mm of core to ensure a nice firm seat in the connector. For much more detailed information on all of this, please check out the guide \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/blogs\/news\/what-types-of-pickup-wires-will-fit-into-the-solderless-harness-connector-blocks\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs always, if you have ANY questions or concerns about whether your pickup wires will be suitable, please just drop me a message or call and I'll be happy to help guide.

A Treble Bleed kit takes the 'high' treble tone frequencies out of the circuit at the volume pot, and puts them back in the circuit as the signal leaves the volume pot. This means the treble frequencies are prevented from naturally bleeding out of the circuit as your turn your volume pot down. The result is a smoothed out treble and a more uniform tone from 1 to 10. Reducing the treble drop out as the volume pot rolls off. Some guitar players wouldn't be without a treble bleed, and many have never used one on their guitars. Truth is, it is very much personal preference. If you like the idea of retaining treble as you roll your volume pot down, then a treble bleed is for you! As standard I use the .001uF \u0026amp; 120kOhm parallel wired treble bleed mod. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e'Wiring' diagram and wiring info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-Wired kit general fitting guide - \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Solderless_Full_Install_Guide_PDF_NEW.pdf?v=1595759543\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePickup\/wire type prep guide - \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/blogs\/news\/what-types-of-pickup-wires-will-fit-into-the-solderless-harness-connector-blocks\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWiring Diagram - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Stratocaster_Modern_RH_Solderless.pdf?v=1781106001\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Solderless install Modern Strat wiring diagram\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solderless system makes life an awful lot easier if you're perhaps not comfortable using a soldering iron or worried about damaging components etc. So the install in terms of attaching wires is certainly more straight forward and negates the need to solder any connections, but care is still needed to to ensure it all works as it should and stands the test of time.

If you're fitting this harness to a far east built guitar such as a Squier or similar brand, then you may have to widen the holes in the pickguard and jack plate to accommodate for these imperial measurement pots and jack. Or alternatively, purchase a new pickguard and\/or jackplate that is already suited to the US spec components. The CTS pots have a mounting thread shaft diameter of 0.369\" \/ 9.38mm so I recommend for ease of install a pickguard with 0.394\" \/ 10mm pot mounting holes. The pure tone jack has a mounting thread diameter id 9.15mm, so I recommend for ease of install a jackplate with a 9.75-10mm (depending on tools available for you to alter the plate or what manufacturer plate you buy as they sometimes vary) mounting hole. You can easily widen the holes in the control plates too if you would prefer, I recommend doing this safely with a step cutter drill bit.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

Definitely do not worry about any loss in quality, any limitations in functionality or tone here, trust me, I am fussy and did a lot of A\/B testing and found the Solderless range to sound and work the very same way as a Signature Series kit.

This doesn't just benefit those that perhaps don't own soldering equipment or even those that simply hate soldering, it benefits accomplished DIY guitar modders too, as it is great for quick and mess-free pickup swaps too which can be great for experimenting. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I connect everything?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"data:image\/png;base64,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\" alt=\"\"\u003eThe Solderless series follows a simple colour code system to help guide you where to put each pickup \u0026amp; ground wires.

Tighten up, and push the cloth covering back down.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf you have thinner, plastic insulated\/coated wires, you will need some wire strippers so you can trim back the coating to expose around 5mm of central core wire. Very often these plastic coated wires are stranded wire, so if this is the same for yours, then simply twist the wire so it forms a nice tight portion, then insert that into the relevant connector block and tighten. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf your pickups are vintage\/traditional style 2 conductor 'braided' wire, then these will also fit the connector blocks, you just need to prepare them to do so. First step is to push back some of the outer metal braiding. Then using some needle nose pliers or a small screwdriver, separate some of the braiding so you can twist and form a off-shoot of wire. This will be your ground, so with that twist of wire pop that into the connector block and tighten. Then your central core wire is the 'hot' signal wire and goes into the relevant connector block via the same methods as prior, exposing around 5mm of core to ensure a nice firm seat in the connector. For much more detailed information on all of this, please check out the guide \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/blogs\/news\/what-types-of-pickup-wires-will-fit-into-the-solderless-harness-connector-blocks\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs always, if you have ANY questions or concerns about whether your pickup wires will be suitable, please just drop me a message or call and I'll be happy to help guide.

For many years (bulk of the 8+ years I've been making these for that matter) as standard I have installed 0.022uF value tone caps to this kit. I opted for this as standard as I consider this a really versatile, 'modern' so to speak cap value choice and has served very well as a standard option over the years. In our trusty guitar player terms, I personally find the 0.022uF equipped wiring by comparison to be clearer, and has served well. But I thought it might be useful to also offer the slightly more 'period correct' so to speak 0.047uF cap value as an option too. \u003cbr\u003eSince Fender introduced this particular way of wiring their Telecasters in the late 60s, they've used 0.047uF caps, and do still continued to do so on a number of models to this day. But must say a great deal of 'modern' production models have been featuring a 0.022uF, with both Fender and many aftermarket pickup makers recommending it for optimal use too.\u003cbr\u003eWhich is right for you, may simply down to personal preference, but if you're not sure or not familiar with these specs understandbly, I would firstly recommend double checking the recommended specs by the pickup maker\/model you have in your Tele or plan to fit to your Tele. \u003cbr\u003eTo briefly summarise, the 0.047uF by comparison to the 0.022uF will have a subtly 'darker'\/warmer tone from full throughout the tone pot sweep, and if you A\/B'd the same guitar with the tone pot set at 0 between the 0.047uF to the 0.022uF it would be noticable darker. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWith or without Treble Bleed?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFirst up, what does it do? A Treble Bleed kit takes the 'high' treble tone frequencies out of the circuit at the volume pot, and puts them back in the circuit as the signal leaves the volume pot. This means the treble frequencies are prevented from naturally bleeding out of the circuit as your turn your volume pot down. The result is a smoothed out treble and a more uniform tone from 1 to 10. Reducing the treble drop out as the volume pot rolls off. Some guitar players wouldn't be without a treble bleed, and many have never used one on their guitars. Truth is, it is very much personal preference. If you like the idea of retaining treble as you roll your volume pot down, then a treble bleed is for you! As standard I use the .001uF \u0026amp; 120kOhm parallel wired treble bleed mod. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e'Wiring' diagram and wiring info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-Wired kit general fitting guide - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Solderless_Full_Install_Guide_PDF_NEW.pdf?v=1595759543\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePickup\/wire type prep guide - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/blogs\/news\/what-types-of-pickup-wires-will-fit-into-the-solderless-harness-connector-blocks\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWiring Diagram - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Tele_3_way_Solderless.pdf?v=1716753448\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solderless system makes life an awful lot easier if you're perhaps not comfortable using a soldering iron or worried about damaging components etc. So the install in terms of attaching wires is certainly more straight forward and negates the need to solder any connections, but care is still needed to to ensure it all works as it should and stands the test of time. As well of course the physical mounting of the components is the same\/similar process as a regular kit install.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

I first become interested in them at the age of 5, seeing the likes of Hendrix, Clapton, SRV and Gilmour playing them on concert VHS tapes that my parents would put on whilst growing up. Although I was young, I soon noticed that all these people were playing the same type of guitar, and that really caught my eye. On my 6th birthday I asked for a guitar, and was incredibly lucky enough to have received a Squier Strat, and the Strat in general was pretty much all I played right up until my 30s. So needless to say, the Strat harness range is close to my heart and something I wanted to ensure is the best quality product I could offer to help bring out the best in your Strat too. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is the 'blender' harness which gives Strat players a chance to capture another tone, without awkward switching or additional switches needing to be added to your pickguard. You have a master volume and master tone, but in place of the 2nd tone control you instead have a 'blend' control, which allows you to add as much or as little of either the neck or the bridge pickup depending on which position you are in. Giving you a Tele esq neck and bridge sound, but with you in control of how much. It's a simple idea, and I certainly don't claim to have come up with it, this is merely my humble recreation of this great alternative Strat wiring solution, and this in particular is the Solderless version!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePosition 1 - Bridge (Can add neck pickup with blend pot)\u003cbr\u003ePosition 2 - Middle and Bridge Parallel (Can add neck pickup with blend pot)\u003cbr\u003ePosition 3 - Middle\u003cbr\u003ePosition 4 - Neck and Middle Parallel (Can add bridge pickup with blend pot)\u003cbr\u003ePosition5 - Neck (Can add bridge pickup with blend pot)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlend control turned fully clockwise, no blend.

The kit is of course soldered, my aim with the series was for the specs\/components all to match the Signature Series range, and also still be simple to maintain many years to come for any tech out there, not just by me. So you'll find all the same parts, pre-soldered in much the same way as I do with the traditional install Signature Series kits. Definitely do not worry about any loss in quality, any limitations in functionality or tone here, trust me, I am fussy and did a lot of A\/B testing and found the Solderless range to sound and work the very same way as a Signature Series kit. So yes, the kits are all pre-soldered, but in terms of the actual installation into a guitar, it is fully solderless for you. \u003cbr\u003eYour pickup wires and any ground wires simply connect into the easy quick connector blocks which I have mounted to the harness (usually secure ontop of pot casings) via a small screwdriver to secure each wire. Viola! This doesn't just benefit those that perhaps don't own soldering equipment or even those that simply hate soldering, it benefits accomplished DIY guitar modders too, as it is great for quick and mess-free pickup swaps too which can be great for experimenting. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I connect everything?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,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\"\u003eThe Solderless series follows a simple colour code system to help guide you where to put each pickup \u0026amp; ground wires.

This will be your ground, so with that twist of wire pop that into the connector block and tighten. Then your central core wire is the 'hot' signal wire and goes into the relevant connector block via the same methods as prior, exposing around 5mm of core to ensure a nice firm seat in the connector. For much more detailed information on all of this, please check out the guide \u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/blogs\/news\/what-types-of-pickup-wires-will-fit-into-the-solderless-harness-connector-blocks\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs always, if you have ANY questions or concerns about whether your pickup wires will be suitable, please just drop me a message or call and I'll be happy to help guide.

A Treble Bleed kit takes the 'high' treble tone frequencies out of the circuit at the volume pot, and puts them back in the circuit as the signal leaves the volume pot. This means the treble frequencies are prevented from naturally bleeding out of the circuit as your turn your volume pot down. The result is a smoothed out treble and a more uniform tone from 1 to 10. Reducing the treble drop out as the volume pot rolls off. Some guitar players wouldn't be without a treble bleed, and many have never used one on their guitars. Truth is, it is very much personal preference. If you like the idea of retaining treble as you roll your volume pot down, then a treble bleed is for you! As standard I use the .001uF \u0026amp; 120kOhm parallel wired treble bleed mod. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e'Wiring' diagram and wiring info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-Wired kit general fitting guide - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Solderless_Full_Install_Guide_PDF_NEW.pdf?v=1595759543\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePickup\/wire type prep guide - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/blogs\/news\/what-types-of-pickup-wires-will-fit-into-the-solderless-harness-connector-blocks\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWiring Diagram - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Solderless_SSS_Strat_Blend.pdf?v=1595761018\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solderless system makes life an awful lot easier if you're perhaps not comfortable using a soldering iron or worried about damaging components etc. So the install in terms of attaching wires is certainly more straight forward and negates the need to solder any connections, but care is still needed to to ensure it all works as it should and stands the test of time.

If you're fitting this harness to a far east built guitar such as a Squier or similar brand, then you may have to widen the holes in the pickguard and jack plate to accommodate for these imperial measurement pots and jack. Or alternatively, purchase a new pickguard and\/or jackplate that is already suited to the US spec components. The CTS pots have a mounting thread shaft diameter of 0.369\" \/ 9.38mm so I recommend for ease of install a pickguard with 0.394\" \/ 10mm pot mounting holes. The pure tone jack has a mounting thread diameter id 9.15mm, so I recommend for ease of install a jackplate with a 9.75-10mm (depending on tools available for you to alter the plate or what manufacturer plate you buy as they sometimes vary) mounting hole. You can easily widen the holes in the control plates too if you would prefer, I recommend doing this safely with a step cutter drill bit.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

As such, it was originally wired differently to a regular Telecaster we all know well today. With the Broadcaster you had a master volume control, but instead of a conventional tone control, in position 1 (bridge only usually) you can 'blend' in the neck pickup to add warmth to the tone. Then middle position is the neck pickup alone with no tonal control at all and position 3 is the neck pickup running through a fixed tone capacitor. Originally position three results in an incredibly warm tone, as it's traditionally through a .05uF cap which I offer as an option to choose from, or some alternative cap values to suit your preference. More on that below. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePosition 1) Bridge pickup with 'blend' neck humbucker using the 2nd 'tone' pot\u003cbr\u003ePosition 2) Neck pickup on it's own, volume control only\u003cbr\u003ePosition 3) Neck pickup via the tone capacitor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note, website example photo(s) may differ visually from the wiring kit you receive.

So if you're after the 'vintage correct' broadcaster cap spec, that's the one to go for. The result of the 0.05uF 'fixed' cap value spec is a very dark tone indeed, per the original intention of the broadcasters wiring. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor a number of years I exclusively offered my Broadcaster harness with a 0.01uF cap value, this was because vintage Tele\/broadcaster type neck pickups are prone to being a little warmer anyway, so to then run it through a 'fixed' cap in position 3 results in an incredibly dark tone overall. So I offered my Broadcaster kit with a 0.01uF to try and help a little with elleviating the darker tone a tiiiny bit. But it ultimately is still a warmer 'rolled off' sound it's a fixed cap rather than wired via a pot like normal tele wiring for excample.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf it sounds to you like the 0.01uF might still be a little too warm sounding, then I would recommend to you the 0.001uF cap spec option. This spec was actually featured on Fender's 70th Anniversary Broadcaster reissue model, and can be heard on some demos they put out on that model specifically. It produces a much clearer tone by comparison to the vintage cap spec, so might make position 3 a little more usable to you for example. All comes down to your intentions for the guitar and it's sounds ultimately. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWiring diagram and wiring info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-Wired kit general fitting guide - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Full_Install_Guide_PDF_2023.pdf?v=1692189523\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWiring Diagram - \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Broadcaster wiring diagram\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Broadcaster.pdf?v=1784142911\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Broadcaster wiring diagram\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Broadcaster.pdf?v=1716909821\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoldering ground wires to pot casings - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PB9y3sEXhsU\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWiring FAQs - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/pages\/wiring-kit-faqs\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI have intended for my wiring harnesses to be as simple as possible to install to your Telecaster, b\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eut in this section you'll find some important fitting notes that will hopefully help you assess whether the kit is suitable for your exact Tele or what is required to allow it to fit correctly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eCan I fit this kit myself?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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 have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

The Ground Bug is a pot washer that fits between the pot casing and the pickguard\/body and has a number of lugs (much like with the main signal connections on the pot for example) to which you can very easily solder your ground wire connections too. Completely removing the worry and risk of soldering a pot casing, something I know many guitarists complain about having to learn to do. \u003cbr\u003eI have been stocking Ground Bugs for a while, and they really are the perfect match for a pre-wired harness as they further help you with your installs.

If this is relevant to yourself then please get in touch to discuss further to ensure the request is possible. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGPSR \u0026amp; Safety info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eManufacturer: \u003c\/b\u003eJames' Home of Tone, Laburnum Street, Stourbridge, DY8 4NX, UK.\u003cbr\u003eEmail: james@homeoftone.co.uk\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eEU Authorised Representative:\u003c\/b\u003e Global Trade Department (NI) Ltd, Office 834, Unit 6, 100 Lisburn Road, Belfast, BT9 6AG, Northern Ireland.

I wanted to be respectful of the traditional aspects of the guitar that so many people love, bringing the best out of the iconic Gibson design. After offering a variety of specs over the years, I've now settled on 50s style wiring as standard, with high quality components and a few spec choices which I hope to help the install process that little bit easier. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a further revision of my popular trusty LPjunior harness with the addition of LPjr without the need to touch a soldering iron(providing that you are installing into a Traditional design Gibson Les Paul Junior). Which has a couple of benefits, perhaps if you're not particularly comfortable with soldering yet or maybe you plan on regularly swapping pickups, which this helps a great deal as it's a few screw connections and it's done.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat does 'Solderless' mean?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a fair question to ask\/wonder. The kit is of course soldered, my aim with the series was for the specs\/components all to match the Signature Series range, and also still be simple to maintain many years to come for any tech out there, not just by me. So you'll find all the same parts, pre-soldered in much the same way as I do with the traditional install Signature Series kits. Definitely do not worry about any loss in quality, any limitations in functionality or tone here, trust me, I am fussy and did a lot of A\/B testing and found the Solderless range to sound and work the very same way as a Signature Series kit. So yes, the kits are all pre-soldered, but in terms of the actual installation into a guitar, it is fully solderless for you. \u003cbr\u003eYour pickup wires and any ground wires simply connect into the easy quick connector blocks which I have mounted to the harness (usually secure ontop of pot casings) via a small screwdriver to secure each wire. Viola! This doesn't just benefit those that perhaps don't own soldering equipment or even those that simply hate soldering, it benefits accomplished DIY guitar modders too, as it is great for quick and mess-free pickup swaps too which can be great for experimenting. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I connect everything?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,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\"\u003eThe Solderless series follows a simple colour code system to help guide you where to put each pickup \u0026amp; ground wires.

First step is to push back some of the outer metal braiding. Then using some needle nose pliers or a small screwdriver, separate some of the braiding so you can twist and form a off-shoot of wire. This will be your ground, so with that twist of wire pop that into the connector block and tighten. Then your central core wire is the 'hot' signal wire and goes into the relevant connector block via the same methods as prior, exposing around 5mm of core to ensure a nice firm seat in the connector. For much more detailed information on all of this, please check out the guide \u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/blogs\/news\/what-types-of-pickup-wires-will-fit-into-the-solderless-harness-connector-blocks\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs always, if you have ANY questions or concerns about whether your pickup wires will be suitable, please just drop me a message or call and I'll be happy to help guide.

I have struggled to pin down the exact year things switched to 500k for both volume and tone as standard. For example, I've seen '56 examples with 250k tone pots, but likewise other '56 models with original Centralab pots in there with two 500k. It's a tricky one for me to confirm, although I must say that I have been offering this kit as standard with 500k for both volume and tone since 2016 and it has proved incredibly popular. But if you did have a specific vintage spec in mind, recreating a specific instrument, restoring etc, then I offer the option of a 250k tone pot too. To sum things up if you're not sure, 500k will provide a brighter overall response than a 250k, but ultimately you could roll the tone pot back a little to achieve the 250k value too. So if you are worried the pickup may be too dark with 250k, then opt for 500k as you'll still be able to roll the tone back and achieve the same response as the 250k pot anyway. And likewise, if you're worried the 500k will be too bright with your pickup, then you can opt for the 250k tone pot option or roll back the 500k. No right or wrong here really, it's what works for you and your tone preferences.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e'Wiring' diagram and wiring info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-Wired kit general fitting guide - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Solderless_Full_Install_Guide_PDF_NEW.pdf?v=1595759543\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePickup\/wire type prep guide - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/blogs\/news\/what-types-of-pickup-wires-will-fit-into-the-solderless-harness-connector-blocks\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWiring Diagram - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Solderless_LPjr.pdf?v=1601372548\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solderless system makes life an awful lot easier if you're perhaps not comfortable using a soldering iron or worried about damaging components etc. So the install in terms of attaching wires is certainly more straight forward and negates the need to solder any connections, but care is still needed to to ensure it all works as it should and stands the test of time.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

I first become interested in them at the age of 5, seeing the likes of Hendrix, Clapton, SRV and Gilmour playing them on concert VHS tapes that my parents would put on whilst growing up. Although I was young, I soon noticed that all these people were playing the same type of guitar, and that really caught my eye. On my 6th birthday I asked for a guitar, and was incredibly lucky enough to have received a Squier Strat, and the Strat in general was pretty much all I played right up until my 30s. So needless to say, the Strat harness range is close to my heart and something I wanted to ensure is the best quality product I could offer to help bring out the best in your Strat too. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is the 'HSS' harness for Strats with a Single coil neck, single coil middle \u0026amp; humbucker bridge configuration. Guitars with a mixture of Humbuckers and Single coils can offer a particular issue when it comes to wiring, the pot choice compromise! Do you opt for the more traditional Single coil choice of 250k pots, which can lead to a dark sounding humbucker position. Or a 500k pot which will get the best from the humbucker but could lead to an overly single coil sound. Some players may well prefer either of those anyway, but if you'd rather reduce the compromise and try to help each pickup sound it's best, then this harness may be of some help to you! It does use a 500k pot for volume, but the single coil runs alongside a 470k resistor meaning the humbucker will 'see' it's preferred 500k pot rating, and the single coil will 'see' closer to it's preferred 250k pot rating. The for the tone pots, each pickup has it's correct spec pot value of 250k for single coil neck and middle and 500k for bridge humbucker. It's not THE solution for everyone, but it has proved to be really popular for an awful lot of players who have seen\/heard the benefits of this set-up.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis harness doesn't split the humbucker coils\u003c\/b\u003e, this is a traditional configuration harness \u003cb\u003ewithout coil splitting.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat does 'Solderless' mean?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a fair question to ask\/wonder. The kit is of course soldered, my aim with the series was for the specs\/components all to match the Signature Series range, and also still be simple to maintain many years to come for any tech out there, not just by me. So you'll find all the same parts, pre-soldered in much the same way as I do with the traditional install Signature Series kits. Definitely do not worry about any loss in quality, any limitations in functionality or tone here, trust me, I am fussy and did a lot of A\/B testing and found the Solderless range to sound and work the very same way as a Signature Series kit. So yes, the kits are all pre-soldered, but in terms of the actual installation into a guitar, it is fully solderless for you. \u003cbr\u003eYour pickup wires and any ground wires simply connect into the easy quick connector blocks which I have mounted to the harness (usually secure ontop of pot casings) via a small screwdriver to secure each wire.

First step is to push back some of the outer metal braiding. Then using some needle nose pliers or a small screwdriver, separate some of the braiding so you can twist and form a off-shoot of wire. This will be your ground, so with that twist of wire pop that into the connector block and tighten. Then your central core wire is the 'hot' signal wire and goes into the relevant connector block via the same methods as prior, exposing around 5mm of core to ensure a nice firm seat in the connector. For much more detailed information on all of this, please check out the guide \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/blogs\/news\/what-types-of-pickup-wires-will-fit-into-the-solderless-harness-connector-blocks\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs always, if you have ANY questions or concerns about whether your pickup wires will be suitable, please just drop me a message or call and I'll be happy to help guide.

A Treble Bleed kit takes the 'high' treble tone frequencies out of the circuit at the volume pot, and puts them back in the circuit as the signal leaves the volume pot. This means the treble frequencies are prevented from naturally bleeding out of the circuit as your turn your volume pot down. The result is a smoothed out treble and a more uniform tone from 1 to 10. Reducing the treble drop out as the volume pot rolls off. Some guitar players wouldn't be without a treble bleed, and many have never used one on their guitars. Truth is, it is very much personal preference. If you like the idea of retaining treble as you roll your volume pot down, then a treble bleed is for you! As standard I use the .001uF \u0026amp; 120kOhm parallel wired treble bleed mod. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e'Wiring' diagram and wiring info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-Wired kit general fitting guide - \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Solderless_Full_Install_Guide_PDF_NEW.pdf?v=1595759543\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePickup\/wire type prep guide - \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/blogs\/news\/what-types-of-pickup-wires-will-fit-into-the-solderless-harness-connector-blocks\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWiring Diagram - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Solderless_HSS_Strat_modern.pdf?v=1601903322\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solderless system makes life an awful lot easier if you're perhaps not comfortable using a soldering iron or worried about damaging components etc. So the install in terms of attaching wires is certainly more straight forward and negates the need to solder any connections, but care is still needed to to ensure it all works as it should and stands the test of time.

If you're fitting this harness to a far east built guitar such as a Squier or similar brand, then you may have to widen the holes in the pickguard and jack plate to accommodate for these imperial measurement pots and jack. Or alternatively, purchase a new pickguard and\/or jackplate that is already suited to the US spec components. The CTS pots have a mounting thread shaft diameter of 0.369\" \/ 9.38mm so I recommend for ease of install a pickguard with 0.394\" \/ 10mm pot mounting holes. The pure tone jack has a mounting thread diameter id 9.15mm, so I recommend for ease of install a jackplate with a 9.75-10mm (depending on tools available for you to alter the plate or what manufacturer plate you buy as they sometimes vary) mounting hole. You can easily widen the holes in the control plates too if you would prefer, I recommend doing this safely with a step cutter drill bit.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits.

So if you are looking for vintage spec accuracy, then this is what you'll need.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLinear taper spec pots aren't to everyone's tastes, and in more modern years audio taper has become more popular. So I also offer this kit with the same 1MEG values, but with audio taper in both volume and tone. So this spec would be great for those that want that vintage Jazzmaster bright chime, but with an audio taper volume pot spec instead. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you have a different set of pickups in your Jazzmaster such as humbuckers or P90s perhaps, or simply dislike the 1MEG Jazzmaster sound and need to tame some of the top end brightness associated with Jazzmasters, then I also offer this harness with 500k pots too! This spec will also be audio taper for both volume and tone as standard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt has become a popular choice to install 250k pots in the lead circuit also. This spec is really for those that are chasing a warmer tone from their Jazzmaster, or perhaps have a set of pickups that better suit this pot spec. This spec will also be audio taper for both volume and tone as standard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLead circuit cap spec\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimilarly to the choices between pots, I also offer the choice of lead circuit tone capacitor value.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom 1958 through to 1965, traditionally Jazzmasters were equipped with a .033uF tone capacitor. So if you're looking for traditional\/vintage style specs, this may well be the choice for you and pairs very well with 1MEG pots. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1965 models featured a .1uF tone cap, expect a more drastic\/significant roll off of the top end though the sweep and warmer tone as a result.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut if you are perhaps going for 500k or 250k pots, then you may find a .033uF will soften the top end too much or create a less gradual tone pot sweep, so I also offer a .022uF cap value. Simply put, a .022uF will sound a little brighter than a .033uF cap and is a very popular pairing for 500k pots or 250k pots (as well as a popular choice for humbuckers or P90s for example if your JM has alternative pickup types).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWith or without Treble Bleed?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eFirst up, what does it do? Without a 'treble bleed', when you roll down the volume pot it will naturally lose some of the treble frequencies through the sweep. A Treble Bleed kit takes the 'high' treble tone frequencies out of the circuit at the volume pot, and puts them back in the circuit as the signal leaves the volume pot. This means the treble frequencies are prevented from naturally bleeding out of the circuit as your turn your volume pot down. The result is a smoothed out treble and a more uniform tone from 1 to 10. Reducing the treble drop out as the volume pot rolls off. Some guitar players wouldn't be without a treble bleed, and many have never used one on their guitars. Truth is, it is very much personal preference. If you like the idea of retaining treble as you roll your volume pot down, then a treble bleed is for you! For the standard spec, I use a ceramic .001uF capacitor with a carbon film 120kOhm resistor parallel wired.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn a personal note, one thing I found with Jazzmasters is that due to their naturally bright tone, rolling off the 1MEG volume pot can naturally lose some of the brightness through the taper quite quickly. For some players this could be a handy tone shaper without having to also adjust the tone pot, but if you want the chime and brightness further down the volume sweep, a treble bleed will be helpful to you. This will help retain the otherwise 'lost' treble frequencies as the volume rolls down and puts it back into the signal helping maintain that JM chimey\/bright character right down the volume pot. But as treble bleed caps aren't for everyone, it's available as an option with or without. I must admit though, 1MEG audio taper pots in a JM seem to really benefit from a treble bleed cap I personally think!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWiring diagram and wiring info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-Wired kit general fitting guide - \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Full_Install_Guide_PDF_2023.pdf?v=1692189523\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWiring Diagram - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/JM_traditional_full_RH.pdf?v=1702666984\" title=\"Traditional Jazzmaster wiring diagram\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoldering ground wires to pot casings - \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PB9y3sEXhsU\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWiring FAQs - \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/pages\/wiring-kit-faqs\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHear it\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLet's face it, harnesses aren't really the thing to 'demo' on YouTube, but this video recently surfaced of the awesome Chris Buck playing his Jazzmaster which has one of my pre-wired Jazzmaster harnesses fitted and it seemed a shame not to share it here.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

First time soldering and hear the horror stories of frying pots, or just simply want to neaten up your installs? Then the awesome 'Ground Bug' will help with any of these concerns, beginner or pro modders alike. The Ground Bug is a pot washer that fits between the pot casing and the pickguard\/body and has a number of lugs (much like with the main signal connections on the pot for example) to which you can very easily solder your ground wire connections too. Completely removing the worry and risk of soldering a pot casing, something I know many guitarists complain about having to learn to do. \u003cbr\u003eI have been stocking Ground Bugs for a while, and they really are the perfect match for a pre-wired harness as they further help you with your installs. So I have set up a 10% off Ground Bug deals when purchased with a Home of Tone Signature Series pre-wired harness. This is an automatic discount code, so all you need to have is a Signature Series kit, and a Ground bug in your cart, and the discount will automatically be applied to the bug for you! \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/collections\/ground-bugs\/products\/swannell-guitars-daddy-long-legs-ground-bug-ground-lug-pot-washer\" title=\"Ground Bug - Guitar pot soldering washer\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClick HERE to view the Ground Bug listing\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDo you make custom harnesses?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI'm afraid I do not offer a custom harness service.

A big jump from the original Les Paul for which it was originally introduced as a replacement for. I've spent a lot of time refining the specs of this harness to ensure the best from the guitar and an easy install. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a further revision of my trusty SG harness with the addition of solderless connections, meaning you can install this harness into your SG without the need to touch a soldering iron. Which has a couple of benefits, perhaps if you're not particularly comfortable with soldering yet or maybe you plan on regularly swapping pickups, which this helps a great deal as it's a few screw connections and it's done.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat does 'Solderless' mean?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a fair question to ask\/wonder. The kit is of course soldered, my aim with the series was for the specs\/components all to match the Signature Series range, and also still be simple to maintain many years to come for any tech out there, not just by me. So you'll find all the same parts, pre-soldered in much the same way as I do with the traditional install Signature Series kits. Definitely do not worry about any loss in quality, any limitations in functionality or tone here, trust me, I am fussy and did a lot of A\/B testing and found the Solderless range to sound and work the very same way as a Signature Series kit. So yes, the kits are all pre-soldered, but in terms of the actual installation into a guitar, it is fully solderless for you. \u003cbr\u003eYour pickup wires and any ground wires simply connect into the easy quick connector blocks which I have mounted to the harness (usually secure ontop of pot casings) via a small screwdriver to secure each wire. Viola! This doesn't just benefit those that perhaps don't own soldering equipment or even those that simply hate soldering, it benefits accomplished DIY guitar modders too, as it is great for quick and mess-free pickup swaps too which can be great for experimenting. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I connect everything?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,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\"\u003eThe Solderless series follows a simple colour code system to help guide you where to put each pickup \u0026amp; ground wires.

First step is to push back some of the outer metal braiding. Then using some needle nose pliers or a small screwdriver, separate some of the braiding so you can twist and form a off-shoot of wire. This will be your ground, so with that twist of wire pop that into the connector block and tighten. Then your central core wire is the 'hot' signal wire and goes into the relevant connector block via the same methods as prior, exposing around 5mm of core to ensure a nice firm seat in the connector. For much more detailed information on all of this, please check out the guide \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/blogs\/news\/what-types-of-pickup-wires-will-fit-into-the-solderless-harness-connector-blocks\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs always, if you have ANY questions or concerns about whether your pickup wires will be suitable, please just drop me a message or call and I'll be happy to help guide.

Well it's not totally un-common with Gibson type guitars or humbuckers in general so don't worry, you have some ways in which it can be improved. Although the standard spec harness will I'm sure help the pickup breathe and is ultimately the most popular spec choice, I now also with the choice of a .01uF value cap in the neck position instead to help clear up a darker sounding neck pickup. \u003cbr\u003eThis is very much personal choice and\/or how you are finding the balance between the neck and bridge pickup currently.  The main thing to consider is whether you feel your neck pickup is too dark\/muddy compared to the bridge pickup. If it is and you want to try and help brighten it up a little, then a .01uF value cap in that position may be useful to you. If you like how your neck pickup sounds, then stick with a .022uF! It's the most popular choice and the 'go-to' cap value for most P90s and Humbuckers generally.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWiring Style?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI offer this kit with a choice of two main wiring styles, depending on your personal preference or perhaps which will best suit the era of SG you are recreating\/restoring.\u003cbr\u003eGibson's 50s style wiring was used as standard from the introduction of the SG Les Paul, up until what I believe to be around '63\/'64 where they changed to what is commonly called 'modern' style wiring which has pretty much exclusively remained the standard way for Gibson to wire their guitars with exception of vintage correct reissues perhaps. So you have an early 60s SG, be it original or reissue, then for originality sake will perhaps want to stick with 50s style wiring for your loom for example.\u003cbr\u003eThe key difference between 50s and 'modern' style wiring is how the tone cap is connected between the volume and tone pots, and how the tone pots are ground. This alteration subtly affects how the volume and tone pots interact with one another. \u003cbr\u003eWith 50s style wiring the tone cap behaves like a subtle\/natural sounding treble bleed when using the volume pot, so it helps retain a little top end as you roll down the volume. Whereas modern wiring style doesn't do this, as a result may get a little warmer as you roll down the volume pot naturally. Which is best all comes down to personal preference and how you use your controls.\u003cbr\u003eWith 50s style wiring, when rolling down the tone pots, you will loose a little bit of overall volume, this is a natural byproduct of the wiring method. Whereas with 'modern' style wiring you won't hear any volume loss when rolling down the tone pot(s). Again, which you prefer will all come down to personal preference, but I will say that overall 50s style wiring loom kits do generally outsell the modern style wired kits, whether that's because it's better, or simply because of that golden era allure, I can't say for sure! But I want to offer both specs so it better reflects the two main wiring styles of production SG's.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e'Wiring' diagram and wiring info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-Wired kit general fitting guide - \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Solderless_Full_Install_Guide_PDF_NEW.pdf?v=1595759543\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePickup\/wire type prep guide - \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/blogs\/news\/what-types-of-pickup-wires-will-fit-into-the-solderless-harness-connector-blocks\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWiring Diagram (50s style wired kit) - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/50s_SG_Solderless.pdf?v=1739880507\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWiring Diagram (Modern style wired kit) - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Modern_SG_Solderless.pdf?v=1739895637\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solderless system makes life an awful lot easier if you're perhaps not comfortable using a soldering iron or worried about damaging components etc. So the install in terms of attaching wires is certainly more straight forward and negates the need to solder any connections, but care is still needed to to ensure it all works as it should and stands the test of time.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

I first become interested in them at the age of 5, seeing the likes of Hendrix, Clapton, SRV and Gilmour playing them on concert VHS tapes that my parents would put on whilst growing up. Although I was young, I soon noticed that all these people were playing the same type of guitar, and that really caught my eye. On my 6th birthday I asked for a guitar, and was incredibly lucky enough to have received a Squier Strat, and the Strat in general was pretty much all I played right up until my 30s. So needless to say, the Strat harness range is close to my heart and something I wanted to ensure is the best quality product I could offer to help bring out the best in your Strat too. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a further revision of my popular 'modern' Strat harness with the addition of solderless connections, meaning you can install this harness into your Strat without the need to touch a soldering iron. Which has a couple of benefits, perhaps if you're not particularly comfortable with soldering yet or maybe you plan on regularly swapping pickups, which this helps a great deal as it's a few screw connections and it's done.\u003cbr\u003eI call this the the 'modern' simply as it is a revision over the vintage style strat wiring where the bridge pickup has no tone control. Instead, on this harness you have Tone 1 controlling the tone for the Neck \u0026amp; Middle pickup, and Tone 2 controlling the tone for the bridge pickup. Nice and simple really!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for the Left Handed version! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat does 'Solderless' mean?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a fair question to ask\/wonder. The kit is of course soldered, my aim with the series was for the specs\/components all to match the Signature Series range, and also still be simple to maintain many years to come for any tech out there, not just by me. So you'll find all the same parts, pre-soldered in much the same way as I do with the traditional install Signature Series kits. Definitely do not worry about any loss in quality, any limitations in functionality or tone here, trust me, I am fussy and did a lot of A\/B testing and found the Solderless range to sound and work the very same way as a Signature Series kit. So yes, the kits are all pre-soldered, but in terms of the actual installation into a guitar, it is fully solderless for you. \u003cbr\u003eYour pickup wires and any ground wires simply connect into the easy quick connector blocks which I have mounted to the harness (usually secure ontop of pot casings) via a small screwdriver to secure each wire. Viola! This doesn't just benefit those that perhaps don't own soldering equipment or even those that simply hate soldering, it benefits accomplished DIY guitar modders too, as it is great for quick and mess-free pickup swaps too which can be great for experimenting. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I connect everything?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,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\"\u003eThe Solderless series follows a simple colour code system to help guide you where to put each pickup \u0026amp; ground wires.

First step is to push back some of the outer metal braiding. Then using some needle nose pliers or a small screwdriver, separate some of the braiding so you can twist and form a off-shoot of wire. This will be your ground, so with that twist of wire pop that into the connector block and tighten. Then your central core wire is the 'hot' signal wire and goes into the relevant connector block via the same methods as prior, exposing around 5mm of core to ensure a nice firm seat in the connector. For much more detailed information on all of this, please check out the guide \u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/blogs\/news\/what-types-of-pickup-wires-will-fit-into-the-solderless-harness-connector-blocks\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs always, if you have ANY questions or concerns about whether your pickup wires will be suitable, please just drop me a message or call and I'll be happy to help guide.

Regular right handed audio taper pots (clockwise rotation direction to increase from 0 to 10), or with reverse\/left handed audio taper pots (anti-clockwise rotation direction to increase from 0 to 10). Which you select ultimatly comes down to which spec you personally prefer to use. I have found from the years of offering these kits, researching the specs and speaking with many left handed players, that these preferences most definitely vary. This most likely is a result of inconsistencies between guitar brands, in how they wire guitars. Therefore a player might get used to using their pots a specific turn direction. \u003cbr\u003eAs a result, I wanted to offer the choice of which pot spec you can order your kit to be made with. If you like your pots to turn clockwise from 0 to 10, then select right handed audio taper pots, whereas if you prefer your pots to turn anti-clockwise from 0 to 10, then select reverse\/left handed audio taper pots.

A Treble Bleed kit takes the 'high' treble tone frequencies out of the circuit at the volume pot, and puts them back in the circuit as the signal leaves the volume pot. This means the treble frequencies are prevented from naturally bleeding out of the circuit as your turn your volume pot down. The result is a smoothed out treble and a more uniform tone from 1 to 10. Reducing the treble drop out as the volume pot rolls off. Some guitar players wouldn't be without a treble bleed, and many have never used one on their guitars. Truth is, it is very much personal preference. If you like the idea of retaining treble as you roll your volume pot down, then a treble bleed is for you!

Or alternatively, purchase a new pickguard and\/or jackplate that is already suited to the US spec components. The CTS pots have a mounting thread shaft diameter of 0.369\" \/ 9.38mm so I recommend for ease of install a pickguard with 0.394\" \/ 10mm pot mounting holes. The pure tone jack has a mounting thread diameter id 9.15mm, so I recommend for ease of install a jackplate with a 9.75-10mm (depending on tools available for you to alter the plate or what manufacturer plate you buy as they sometimes vary) mounting hole. You can easily widen the holes in the control plates too if you would prefer, I recommend doing this safely with a step cutter drill bit.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

The main thing to note here, is that the tone pot has a 15kOhm resistor on it, which when you roll down the tone pot, you will also lose some volume. The originals were like this, so if you want to be true to vintage, then this is the option for you. But if you don't like the sound of a volume drop on the tone taper, then you will perhaps need to consider the next option.\u003cbr\u003e- 'Vintage spec without 15kOhm resistor, ‘52-‘56'\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis spec is essentially as above, vintage spec, but without the resistor so your tone control will function more like a regular tone pot without a volume affect. \u003cbr\u003e- 'Modern' P-Bass Style'\u003cbr\u003eAnd finally, this schematic is the very same as the '57 onward spec split coil P-Bass.

Which you choose again will ultimately depend on whether you want true to vintage specs, something a bit more mid-era, or a more modern 'brighter' response. Or perhaps it might also depend on what your pickup manufacturer recommends for their pickup specifically. If that's the case, refer to their specifications\/recommendations and select the relevent cap option. 0.1uF will be the warmest response, both with the tone pot on full, and as you roll through to 0. This was the spec used on the vintage originals.

Or alternatively, purchase a new control plate that is already suited to the US spec components. 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 control plate with a 0.394\" \/ 10mm pot mounting hole. You can easily widen the holes in the control plate too if you would prefer, I recommend doing this safely with a step cutter drill bit.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

First time soldering and hear the horror stories of frying pots, or just simply want to neaten up your installs? Then the awesome 'Ground Bug' will help with any of these concerns, beginner or pro modders alike. The Ground Bug is a pot washer that fits between the pot casing and the pickguard\/body and has a number of lugs (much like with the main signal connections on the pot for example) to which you can very easily solder your ground wire connections too. Completely removing the worry and risk of soldering a pot casing, something I know many guitarists complain about having to learn to do. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI have been stocking Ground Bugs for a while, and they really are the perfect match for a pre-wired harness as they further help you with your installs.

A Treble Bleed kit takes the 'high' treble tone frequencies out of the circuit at the volume pot, and puts them back in the circuit as the signal leaves the volume pot. This means the treble frequencies are prevented from naturally bleeding out of the circuit as your turn your volume pot down. The result is a smoothed out treble and a more uniform tone from 1 to 10. Reducing the treble drop out as the volume pot rolls off. Some guitar players wouldn't be without a treble bleed, and many have never used one on their guitars. Truth is, it is very much personal preference. If you like the idea of retaining treble as you roll your volume pot down, then a treble bleed is for you! As standard I use the .001uF \u0026amp; 120kOhm parallel wired treble bleed mod. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUltimately this kit is intended to be an upgrade retrofit spec kit for a Squier Bullet Mustang model.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

First time soldering and hear the horror stories of frying pots, or just simply want to neaten up your installs? Then the awesome 'Ground Bug' will help with any of these concerns, beginner or pro modders alike. The Ground Bug is a pot washer that fits between the pot casing and the pickguard\/body and has a number of lugs (much like with the main signal connections on the pot for example) to which you can very easily solder your ground wire connections too. Completely removing the worry and risk of soldering a pot casing, something I know many guitarists complain about having to learn to do. \u003cbr\u003eI have been stocking Ground Bugs for a while, and they really are the perfect match for a pre-wired harness as they further help you with your installs. So I have set up a 10% off Ground Bug deals when purchased with a Home of Tone Signature Series pre-wired harness. This is an automatic discount code, so all you need to have is a Signature Series kit, and a Ground bug in your cart, and the discount will automatically be applied to the bug for you!

I want my Signature Series wiring harness for this legendary guitar to earn the right to be a small part of that through a choice of quality components and respect for it's design. The schematic is a simple recipe, based upon the late 60s wiring methods which is perhaps the most commonly known and broadly liked wiring style for Teles. Earlier 60s and 50s 2 pickup Teles were wired from the factory with what most players would find 'quirky' switching and tones, known as the Dark Circuit wiring style. This specific pre-wired kit however is the wiring style most of us would be familiar with and come to expect from Tele controls and tones.

But must say a great deal of 'modern' production models have been featuring a 0.02uF, with both Fender and many aftermarket pickup makers recommending it for optimal use too.\u003cbr\u003eWhich is right for you, may simply down to personal preference, but if you're not sure or not familiar with these specs understandbly, I would firstly recommend double checking the recommended specs by the pickup maker\/model you have in your Tele or plan to fit to your Tele. \u003cbr\u003eTo briefly summarise, the 0.05uF by comparison to the 0.02uF will have a subtly 'darker'\/warmer tone from full throughout the tone pot sweep, and if you A\/B'd the same guitar with the tone pot set at 0 between the 0.05uF to the 0.02uF it would be noticable darker. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWith or without Treble Bleed?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFirst up, what does it do? A Treble Bleed kit takes the 'high' treble tone frequencies out of the circuit at the volume pot, and puts them back in the circuit as the signal leaves the volume pot. This means the treble frequencies are prevented from naturally bleeding out of the circuit as your turn your volume pot down. The result is a smoothed out treble and a more uniform tone from 1 to 10. Reducing the treble drop out as the volume pot rolls off. Some guitar players wouldn't be without a treble bleed, and many have never used one on their guitars. Truth is, it is very much personal preference. If you like the idea of retaining treble as you roll your volume pot down, then a treble bleed is for you! As standard I use the .001uF \u0026amp; 120kOhm parallel wired treble bleed mod. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePot shaft type?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTraditionally you would expect to see Solid Shaft pots used in a Telecaster.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

If you're fitting this harness to 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. Or alternatively, purchase a new pickguard that is already suited to the US spec components. 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.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

But I decided to do something about that and do some digging! I have chatted with some customers who are well versed in the RG series, as well as getting my hands on an RG350 which was particularly helpful for taking measurements of the control cavity, and also on that example seeing the version which uses a standard mono jack instead of the panel jack socket seen on models like the RG550. But to cut a long story short, I delved into the world of Ibanez RG models, and have come out the other side with a HSH configuration harness I really like using the USA spec components I know and trust, and through testing personally really enjoyed using too! This kit was introduced in 2020 and has remained part of my range ever since. It takes inspiration from the 5-way JEM Vai style wiring, with ‘auto’ coil splitting in positions 2 \u0026amp; 4, it features a treble bleed mod as standard to help with retaining treble frequencies when rolling the volume pot down. For coil splitting options though, your humbuckers will need to have 4 conductor wiring, so note this before ordering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePosition 1 - Bridge humbucker\u003cbr\u003ePosition 2 - Bridge humbucker coil split with middle single coil parallel\u003cbr\u003ePosition 3 - Middle single coil\u003cbr\u003ePosition 4 - Neck humbucker coil split with middle single coil parallel\u003cbr\u003ePosition 5 - Neck humbucker\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Options\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickguard mount or body\/top mount?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome RG models have the pots and switch mounted to the pickguard, whereas others don't have a pickguard and instead the components mount directly through the guitar's top. So depending on what variant your RG is, this will be the deciding factor on this option. For the pickguard mount spec, I provide an additional mount nut for each pot so they can be correctly spaced on the pickguard, helping the control knob sit closer to the pickguard, and I provide standard short length switch mount screws. \u003cbr\u003eFor body\/top mount spec, I provide longer length switch mount screws and no additional pot nut as the top thickness is more than a pickguard and you won't need to space it with the extra nut.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJack socket version?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome RG models, like the RG350 for example feature a standard jack socket which fixes to the guitar via a oval external mounting plate.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

I first become interested in them at the age of 5, seeing the likes of Hendrix, Clapton, SRV and Gilmour playing them on concert VHS tapes that my parents would put on whilst growing up. Although I was young, I soon noticed that all these people were playing the same type of guitar, and that really caught my eye. On my 6th birthday I asked for a guitar, and was incredibly lucky enough to have received a Squier Strat, and the Strat in general was pretty much all I played right up until my 30s. So needless to say, the Strat harness range is close to my heart and something I wanted to ensure is the best quality product I could offer to help bring out the best in your Strat too. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the 'vintage modified' harness which I have decided to now offer alongside the longstanding and really popular ‘Modern’ strat harness. \u003cbr\u003eBack when the strat was introduced, it was popular for electric guitars to have a ‘lead’ position, something that would cut through in big bands and soar for solos. Or perhaps to help bring some clarity from some of the darker sounding amps available to most players at the time. Let’s also not forget that at the time, much bigger gauges of strings were more commonly used and in a lot of examples too, flatwounds. Before the days of drive and boost pedals too really! So a lot of reasons as to why manufacturers made sure their models had a bright tone for a lead part, and certainly think it’s pretty safe to say this may have been one of the reasons why when Leo released the Strat. It originally only featured 2 tone controls (one for neck pickup, one for the middle pickup and usually a 'dark' sounding 0.1uF cap) whereas the bridge pickup’s signal didn’t pass through a tone pot or cap, only the volume pot’s resistance was effecting it’s signal. Resulting in a bright, cutting, and bold ‘lead’ position. \u003cbr\u003eFast forward and you would have heard countless iconic strat players making the most of this aggressive pickup sound with many of them also modifying the original 3 way to a 5 way selector also ease of accessing additional sounds. Most notably for me personally was Stevie Ray Vaughan. So this ‘vintage’ harness is for me perhaps most inspired by Stevie, I watched the El Mocambo video countless times growing up and particularly loved the big rhythm tones sounding clearer and bell like, with the bridge pickup absolutely soaring above everything. It’s relatively widely agreed upon that Stevie had a .022uF value tone cap wired onto his tone pots, this is also what is spec'd on his Fender Signature model that was designed shortly before his passing as well as in some interviews with his tech. This cap value choice may also help explain the not at all woolly, but instead big and chimey neck and middle position tones. I suppose you could call this a ‘vintage modified’ schematic, so I have named it just that. But it is very much SRV inspired for me due to my upbringing listening to his music. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn summary -\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaster Volume control\u003cbr\u003eTone 1 - Neck pickup adjustment only\u003cbr\u003eTone 2 - Middle pickup adjustment\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwitching\u003cbr\u003ePosition 1 - Bridge pickup with volume adjustment only\u003cbr\u003ePosition 2 - Bridge pickup with middle pickup in parallel with volume and tone adjustment\u003cbr\u003ePosition 3 - Middle pickup with volume and tone adjustment\u003cbr\u003ePosition 4 - Middle pickup with neck pickup in parallel with volume and tone adjustment\u003cbr\u003ePosition 5 - Neck pickup with volume and tone adjustment\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note, website example photo(s) may differ visually from the wiring kit you receive.

If you're fitting this harness to 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. Or alternatively, purchase a new pickguard that is already suited to the US spec components. 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.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

If this is relevant to yourself then please get in touch to discuss further to ensure the request is possible. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGPSR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eManufacturer: \u003c\/b\u003eJames' Home of Tone, Laburnum Street, Stourbridge, DY8 4NX, UK.\u003cbr\u003eEmail: james@homeoftone.co.uk\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eEU Authorised Representative:\u003c\/b\u003e Global Trade Department (NI) Ltd, Office 834, Unit 6, 100 Lisburn Road, Belfast, BT9 6AG, Northern Ireland.

But it does offer a particular issue when it comes to wiring, the pot choice compromise! Do you opt for the more traditional Tele choice of 250k pots, which sounds great for the bridge single coil but can lead to a dark sounding humbucker position. Or a 500k pot which could lead to an overly bridge Tele single coil sound but a great neck humbucker tone. Some players may well prefer either of those anyway, but if you'd rather reduce the compromise and try to help each pickup sound it's best, then this harness may be of some help to you! It does use 500k pots, but the single coil runs alongside a 470k resistor meaning the humbucker will 'see' it's preferred 500k pot rating, and the single coil will 'see' closer to it's preferred 250k pot rating.

So you'll find all the same parts, pre-soldered in much the same way as I do with the traditional install Signature Series kits. Definitely do not worry about any loss in quality, any limitations in functionality or tone here, trust me, I am fussy and did a lot of A\/B testing and found the Solderless range to sound and work the very same way as a Signature Series kit. So yes, the kits are all pre-soldered, but in terms of the actual installation into a guitar, it is fully solderless for you. \u003cbr\u003eYour pickup wires and any ground wires simply connect into the easy quick connector blocks which I have mounted to the harness (usually secure ontop of pot casings) via a small screwdriver to secure each wire.

First step is to push back some of the outer metal braiding. Then using some needle nose pliers or a small screwdriver, separate some of the braiding so you can twist and form a off-shoot of wire. This will be your ground, so with that twist of wire pop that into the connector block and tighten. Then your central core wire is the 'hot' signal wire and goes into the relevant connector block via the same methods as prior, exposing around 5mm of core to ensure a nice firm seat in the connector. For much more detailed information on all of this, please check out the guide \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/blogs\/news\/what-types-of-pickup-wires-will-fit-into-the-solderless-harness-connector-blocks\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs always, if you have ANY questions or concerns about whether your pickup wires will be suitable, please just drop me a message or call and I'll be happy to help guide.

A Treble Bleed kit takes the 'high' treble tone frequencies out of the circuit at the volume pot, and puts them back in the circuit as the signal leaves the volume pot. This means the treble frequencies are prevented from naturally bleeding out of the circuit as your turn your volume pot down. The result is a smoothed out treble and a more uniform tone from 1 to 10. Reducing the treble drop out as the volume pot rolls off. Some guitar players wouldn't be without a treble bleed, and many have never used one on their guitars. Truth is, it is very much personal preference. If you like the idea of retaining treble as you roll your volume pot down, then a treble bleed is for you! As standard I use the .001uF \u0026amp; 120kOhm parallel wired treble bleed mod. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e'Wiring' diagram and wiring info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-Wired kit general fitting guide - \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Solderless_Full_Install_Guide_PDF_NEW.pdf?v=1595759543\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePickup\/wire type prep guide - \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/blogs\/news\/what-types-of-pickup-wires-will-fit-into-the-solderless-harness-connector-blocks\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWiring Diagram - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/HS_Tele_3_way_Solderless.pdf?v=1716754506\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solderless system makes life an awful lot easier if you're perhaps not comfortable using a soldering iron or worried about damaging components etc. So the install in terms of attaching wires is certainly more straight forward and negates the need to solder any connections, but care is still needed to to ensure it all works as it should and stands the test of time.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

First time soldering and hear the horror stories of frying pots, or just simply want to neaten up your installs? Then the awesome 'Ground Bug' will help with any of these concerns, beginner or pro modders alike. The Ground Bug is a pot washer that fits between the pot casing and the pickguard\/body and has a number of lugs (much like with the main signal connections on the pot for example) to which you can very easily solder your ground wire connections too. Completely removing the worry and risk of soldering a pot casing, something I know many guitarists complain about having to learn to do. \u003cbr\u003eI have been stocking Ground Bugs for a while, and they really are the perfect match for a pre-wired harness as they further help you with your installs.

After offering a variety of specs over the years, I have found that traditional 50s style wiring has proved to be the most popular and that's the kit\/spec you're looking at here. 50's wiring refers to how the volume and tone pots are wired together via the tone capacitor. With traditional 50s style wiring the tone capacitor is soldered between the central output\/wiper lug 2 of the volume pot, and lug 3 of the tone pot, whilst the central output\/wiper lug 2 of the tone pot is soldered to ground. What many players find this does is 'improve' the interaction between all the controls for a more responsive and intuitive playing experience. Ultimately of course, this is subjective and whether this is right for you is only for you to decide. This wiring style was the standard install for Les Pauls made up until around 1962, so if you're hoping to wire your guitar true to the 'golden era' specs, then this is the wiring style for you. I will note that with 50s style wiring, you will have a very minor volume drop when rolling down the tone pots, this is the nature of the circuit. But conversly, you will retain a little more top end when rolling down the volume, think of it as the circuits 'natural' treble bleed mod so to speak. These are often things that make this a very popular wiring style, but they're things to consider as to whether it's right for you. If you want predictability, no volume drop when using the tone etc, then I would perhaps instead recommend modern wiring with treble bleeds, just a note anyway.\u003cbr\u003eThis kit is made with high quality components and a few spec choices which I hope to help the install process that little bit easier. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLong or Short, which do I need?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eThe question I probably get asked most is, \"Will I need long or short shaft pots?\". Well Gibson are of course known for lots of transitional changes to specs from the golden era right up to modern day. I have compiled a list of Gibson models which use either Short or Long shaft pots on the individual pot listing \u003ca title=\"CTS Long Shaft and Short Shaft 500k pots\" href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/products\/cts-premium-tvt-series-500k-pots-split-short-and-long-shaft\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e But, if you're still not sure, the simplest answer is that ALL types of Gibson or Epiphone Les Paul will fit a long shaft pot, as you can adjust the two supplied nuts to suit the height in the body. All Epiphone Les Paul's with exception of the Elitist model use short shaft pots. Also, feel free to send me a photo of the inside of the control cavity or a photo of the pot itself, hopefully I can help identify it for you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease note that this listing is specifically for the left handed spec kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct options\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePot taper\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eI offer my left handed orientation pre-wired kits with the choice of pot taper spec. Regular right handed audio taper pots (clockwise rotation direction to increase from 0 to 10), or with reverse\/left handed audio taper pots (anti-clockwise rotation direction to increase from 0 to 10). Which you select ultimatly comes down to which spec you personally prefer to use. I have found from the years of offering these kits, researching the specs and speaking with many left handed players, that these preferences most definitely vary. This most likely is a result of inconsistencies between guitar brands, in how they wire guitars. Therefore a player might get used to using their pots a specific turn direction. \u003cbr\u003eAs a result, I wanted to offer the choice of which pot spec you can order your kit to be made with. If you like your pots to turn clockwise from 0 to 10, then select right handed audio taper pots, whereas if you prefer your pots to turn anti-clockwise from 0 to 10, then select reverse\/left handed audio taper pots.

But if you feel the quality or condition of your existing switch or jack isn't up to the job, then I also offer Les Paul harnesses as a complete kit including a new pre wired Switchcraft toggle switch and Pure Tone Multi contact jack socket. This kit uses a Switchcraft short frame 3 way toggle, and I have chosen those because they will fit a broader range of Les Paul models but also they feature a longer mounting thread length removing the need for an additional extended knurled nut. The pre-wired switch as standard is wired with traditional Gavitt braided wire, and they come with each wire colour coded to help with install.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

First time soldering and hear the horror stories of frying pots, or just simply want to neaten up your installs? Then the awesome 'Ground Bug' will help with any of these concerns, beginner or pro modders alike. The Ground Bug is a pot washer that fits between the pot casing and the pickguard\/body and has a number of lugs (much like with the main signal connections on the pot for example) to which you can very easily solder your ground wire connections too. Completely removing the worry and risk of soldering a pot casing, something I know many guitarists complain about having to learn to do. \u003cbr\u003eI have been stocking Ground Bugs for a while, and they really are the perfect match for a pre-wired harness as they further help you with your installs. So I have set up a 10% off Ground Bug deals when purchased with a Home of Tone Signature Series pre-wired harness. This is an automatic discount code, so all you need to have is a Signature Series kit, and a Ground bug in your cart, and the discount will automatically be applied to the bug for you! On a typical Les Paul wiring install, I would recommend x2 Ground bugs, one for each volume pot so you can make all of the relevant ground solder connections to each volume. None should be required to make on your tone pots. Hope this helps! \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/collections\/shielding-misc-wiring-parts\/products\/swannell-guitars-ground-bug-ground-lug-pot-washer?variant=44137818194175\" title=\"Ground Bug - Guitar pot soldering washer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClick HERE to view the Ground Bug listing\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDo you make custom harnesses?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI'm afraid I do not offer a custom harness service.

Some of the original 70s models, featured a somewhat quirky wiring style, and those were pretty warm sounding with an overly warm\/steep roll off of the tone too. I'm sure this suited some players so I don't want this to come across as discrediting that particular wiring style. But based on customer feedback over the past decade and counting, it seems that particular wiring style isn't perhaps the most versatile or familiar to a lot of other players. So, this replacement\/upgrade wiring kit made for Musicmaster basses is wired in the more common\/popular 60s P-Bass style of wiring. Master volume, Master tone, single tone capacitor, jack. Simple, predictable, versatile. \u003cbr\u003eThis kit is made with quality CTS 450 series pots, a Jupiter mustard tone cap, a pure tone multi contact jack socket and wired with Gavitt 22awg cloth covered wire.

This ultimately comes down to what control knobs you plan to use on the bass. \u003cbr\u003eSome vintage 70s Musicmaster basses featured metric sized pots, IE 18 coarse split shafts. So if you are ordering this kit, as a replacement harness for an original Musicmaster bass, then you will require new control knobs. \u003cbr\u003eSome modern reissues, Mexico or USA made examples, may have imperial spec 24 fine knurl split shaft pots for example. If you're not sure what pots you currently have, and ideally want to re-use the original control knobs, please send me a message and some photos of your current bass wiring and I'll help identify for you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe CTS split shaft pots suit push-fit control knobs whereas solid shaft pots require control knobs that secure to the pot via a grub screw. Both are a different size and measurements are detailed below.\u003cbr\u003eUseful tip - If you haven't decided what style of control knobs you are going to use, and can't make up your mind yet, I would recommend choosing the split shaft version as I also offer brass conversion sleeves which would convert split shaft to solid shaft pots with ease. So best recommendation if you're not sure, go for split shaft as they can always be converted easily, whereas with solid shaft pots you are tied to that as the only choice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCTS split shaft pots have 24 splines and have an adjustable diameter of around 5.95mm, requiring control knobs that match this spec, and install via push-fit. \u003cbr\u003eCTS solid shaft pots have a solid post to mount the control knob to, with a diameter of 1\/4\" \/ 6.35mm, requiring control knobs that match this spec, and install via a securing grub screw.\u003cbr\u003eIf you do require US spec control knobs, I do carry a selection of popular options in stock and they can be viewed in the\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/collections\/control-knobs-switch-tips\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e \u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/collections\/control-knobs-switch-tips\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003econtrol knob\u003c\/a\u003e category on the store.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTone capacitor value\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eI offer this pre-wired kit with a choice of tone capacitor, a 0.02mfd or 0.05mfd value.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhich is right for you, may simply down to personal preference, but if you're not sure or not familiar with these specs, then hopefully I can help with your decision.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo briefly summarise, the 0.05mfd by comparison to the 0.02mfd will have a subtly 'darker'\/warmer tone from full throughout the tone pot sweep, and if you A\/B'd the same guitar with the tone pot set at \u003cstrong\u003e0\u003c\/strong\u003e between the 0.05mfd to the 0.02mfd it would be noticable darker. I would personally say that the 0.05mfd cap has a more vintage-like tonal response, so if you love the sound of 50s and 60s Fender basses, then that may be a better suited cap to help achieve that. If you like having a little more brightness, which you can of course still roll back, then the 0.02mfd cap value would be a good choice. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eIf you are choosing to have a McNelly Broncomaster pickup with your harness, I personally recommend the 0.02mfd tone cap value installed.

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!

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. \u003cbr\u003eIf 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the pots fit my pickguard?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe components I use in my Signature Series wiring kits are for the most part, USA imperial specification. If you're fitting this harness to a far east built guitar such as a Squier for example, or to a 70s original USA Musicmaster (which so happened to come with smaller metric sized diameter pot thread bushings in some cases) then you may have to widen the holes in the pickguard to accommodate for these imperial measurement pots. Or alternatively, purchase a pickguard that is already suited to the US spec components. The CTS pots and Pure Tone multi contact jack have a mounting thread bushing diameter of 0.369\" \/ 9.38mm so I recommend for ease of install a control plate 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 stepped 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you’re buying this kit for a Musicmaster bass which has already had imperial sized\/CTS pots previously installed, then chances are it will be a direct, no modifications install process for you. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCentre to centre measurements between components are - \u003cbr\u003eCentre of volume pot to centre of tone pot - 41mm\u003cbr\u003eCentre of tone pot to centre of jack socket - 34mm\u003cbr\u003eThese measurements were taken from a Genuine Fender Musicmaster pickguard, but I do allow for 'give' in the wire lengths between components to allow for small differences so there is some wiggle room for installation, it's not a 'fixed' measurement by any means.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

First time soldering and hear the horror stories of frying pots, or just simply want to neaten up your installs? Then the awesome 'Ground Bug' will help with any of these concerns, beginner or pro modders alike. The Ground Bug is a pot washer that fits between the pot casing and the pickguard\/body and has a number of lugs (much like with the main signal connections on the pot for example) to which you can very easily solder your ground wire connections too. Completely removing the worry and risk of soldering a pot casing, something I know many guitarists complain about having to learn to do. \u003cbr\u003eI have been stocking Ground Bugs for a while, and they really are the perfect match for a pre-wired harness as they further help you with your installs. So I have set up a 10% off Ground Bug deals when purchased with a Home of Tone Signature Series pre-wired harness. This is an automatic discount code, so all you need to have is a Signature Series kit, and a Ground bug in your cart, and the discount will automatically be applied to the bug for you! \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Ground Bug - Guitar pot soldering washer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/collections\/ground-bugs\/products\/swannell-guitars-daddy-long-legs-ground-bug-ground-lug-pot-washer?variant=45159458799871\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClick HERE to view the Ground Bug listing (We recommend the 'Daddy Long Legs' Ground Bug for tighter Musicmaster control cavities.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDo you make custom harnesses?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI'm afraid I do not offer a custom harness service.

The CTS pots have a mounting thread shaft diameter of 0.369\" \/ 9.38mm so I recommend for ease of install a body mouting hole with 0.394\" \/ 10mm diameter. You can widen the holes in the body and I recommend doing this safely with a step cutter drill bit.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

First time soldering and hear the horror stories of frying pots, or just simply want to neaten up your installs? Then the awesome 'Ground Bug' will help with any of these concerns, beginner or pro modders alike. The Ground Bug is a pot washer that fits between the pot casing and the pickguard\/body and has a number of lugs (much like with the main signal connections on the pot for example) to which you can very easily solder your ground wire connections too. Completely removing the worry and risk of soldering a pot casing, something I know many guitarists complain about having to learn to do. \u003cbr\u003eI have been stocking Ground Bugs for a while, and they really are the perfect match for a pre-wired harness as they further help you with your installs. So I have set up a 10% off Ground Bug deals when purchased with a Home of Tone Signature Series pre-wired harness. This is an automatic discount code, so all you need to have is a Signature Series kit, and a Ground bug in your cart, and the discount will automatically be applied to the bug for you! On a typical Les Paul wiring install, I would recommend x2 Ground bugs, one for each volume pot so you can make all of the relevant ground solder connections to each volume. None should be required to make on your tone pots. Hope this helps!  \u003ca title=\"Ground Bug - Guitar pot soldering washer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/collections\/shielding-misc-wiring-parts\/products\/swannell-guitars-ground-bug-ground-lug-pot-washer?variant=44137818194175\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClick HERE to view the Ground Bug listing\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDo you make custom harnesses?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI'm afraid I do not offer a custom harness service.

The pre-wired switch as standard is wired with traditional Gavitt braided wire, and they come with each wire colour coded to help with install. \u003cbr\u003eRed heat shrink wire - To neck volume pot\u003cbr\u003eYellow heat shrink wire - To bridge volume pot\u003cbr\u003eGreen heat shrink wire - To jack socket\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLong or Short shaft pots\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eThis kit offers the choice between long and short shaft pots.

Without a 'treble bleed', when you roll down the volume pot it will naturally lose some of the treble frequencies through the sweep. Strat players in particular might be familiar with this as they are susceptible to it. So, A Treble Bleed kit takes the 'high' treble tone frequencies out of the circuit at the volume pot, and puts them back in the circuit as the signal leaves the volume pot. This means the treble frequencies are prevented from naturally bleeding out of the circuit as your turn your volume pot down. The result is a smoothed out treble and a more uniform tone from 1 to 10. Reducing the treble drop out as the volume pot rolls off. Some guitar players wouldn't be without a treble bleed, and many have never used one on their guitars. Truth is, it is very much personal preference. If you like the idea of retaining treble as you roll your volume pot down, then a treble bleed is for you! For the standard spec, I use a ceramic .001uF capacitor with a carbon film 120kOhm resistor parallel wired.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWiring diagram and wiring info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-Wired kit general fitting guide - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Full_Install_Guide_PDF_2023.pdf?v=1692189523\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWiring Diagram - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Les_Paul_RH_Modern_5d3e6789-b958-453f-b7fd-19710ef413ed.pdf?v=1699302027\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Les Paul Modern style wiring diagram\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoldering ground wires to pot casings - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PB9y3sEXhsU\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFull Les Paul re-wire guide - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/blogs\/news\/how-to-guide-wiring-a-les-paul\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWiring FAQs - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/pages\/wiring-kit-faqs\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI have intended for my wiring harnesses to be as simple as possible to install to your Les Paul, b\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eut in this section you'll find some important fitting notes that will hopefully help you assess whether the kit is suitable for your exact Les Paul or what is required to allow it to fit correctly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I fit this kit myself?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis 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.

You can widen the holes in the body and I recommend doing this safely with a step cutter drill bit.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

First time soldering and hear the horror stories of frying pots, or just simply want to neaten up your installs? Then the awesome 'Ground Bug' will help with any of these concerns, beginner or pro modders alike. The Ground Bug is a pot washer that fits between the pot casing and the pickguard\/body and has a number of lugs (much like with the main signal connections on the pot for example) to which you can very easily solder your ground wire connections too. Completely removing the worry and risk of soldering a pot casing, something I know many guitarists complain about having to learn to do. \u003cbr\u003eI have been stocking Ground Bugs for a while, and they really are the perfect match for a pre-wired harness as they further help you with your installs. So I have set up a 10% off Ground Bug deals when purchased with a Home of Tone Signature Series pre-wired harness. This is an automatic discount code, so all you need to have is a Signature Series kit, and a Ground bug in your cart, and the discount will automatically be applied to the bug for you! On a typical Les Paul wiring install, I would recommend x2 Ground bugs, one for each volume pot so you can make all of the relevant ground solder connections to each volume. None should be required to make on your tone pots.

This kit suits 2 pickup La Cab models, with a single master volume and a three way toggle switch.

Split shaft fits push-fit control knobs (5.95mm 24 spline). But if you have a control knob that requires a 6.35mm solid shaft pot, or secures with a grub screw, then select the solid shaft pot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWith or without Treble Bleed?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFirst up, what does it do? Without a 'treble bleed', when you roll down the volume pot it will naturally lose some of the treble frequencies through the sweep. Strat players in particular might be familiar with this as they are susceptible to it. So, A Treble Bleed kit takes the 'high' treble tone frequencies out of the circuit at the volume pot, and puts them back in the circuit as the signal leaves the volume pot. This means the treble frequencies are prevented from naturally bleeding out of the circuit as your turn your volume pot down. The result is a smoothed out treble and a more uniform tone from 1 to 10. Reducing the treble drop out as the volume pot rolls off. Some guitar players wouldn't be without a treble bleed, and many have never used one on their guitars. Truth is, it is very much personal preference. If you like the idea of retaining treble as you roll your volume pot down, then a treble bleed is for you! For the standard spec, I use a ceramic .001uF capacitor with a carbon film 120kOhm resistor parallel wired.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eAdditional bridge ground wire?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI have added this option for those who are perhaps building a guitar from scratch like a partscaster for example. If this is you, then the pre-soldered length of ground wire may be useful as that will be used as your bridge or tailpiece ground. A 1ft length of wire will be attached. If you are fitting this wiring kit to an existing guitar as a replacement to the original wiring, then chances are your guitar already has a bridge ground wire and you can simply just keep and use your original wire. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWiring diagram and wiring info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-Wired kit general fitting guide - \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Full_Install_Guide_PDF_2023.pdf?v=1692189523\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWiring Diagram - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Cabronita_single_volume.pdf?v=1623316523\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"2 pickup Cabronita wiring diagram\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoldering ground wires to pot casings - \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PB9y3sEXhsU\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWiring FAQs - \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/pages\/wiring-kit-faqs\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI have intended for my wiring harnesses to be as simple as possible to install to your Telecaster, b\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eut in this section you'll find some important fitting notes that will hopefully help you assess whether the kit is suitable for your exact Tele or what is required to allow it to fit correctly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I fit this kit myself?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.

The CTS pots have a mounting thread shaft diameter of 0.370\" \/ 9.4mm so I recommend for ease of install a 0.394\" \/ 10mm pot mounting hole.

I have worked on guitars for many years, and built these kits professionally since 2015, and as a result have been able to see and experience working on the majority of components available on the market. In my findings, A\/B testing and more, I have found the components I decided on for my Signature Series to be the most reliable, best tolerance and great functioning parts to use to help customers get the most out of their instruments. I use CTS '450' series premium spec pots as they have a tight tolerance, and will consistently provide me with accurate value, as well as very solid build quality. I use trusty 'Mustard' style polyester film 'tone' capacitors as in my opinion they simply can't be beat for great value, solid construction, solid lead-outs, super tight tolerances and reliable tone\/function. I would personally much rather use a trusty Mustard for example over something like a paper in oil, as from experience that are so much more reliable to use. This is from carrying out a lot of A\/B testing, both tonally, as well as armed with the multi-meter for testing values and actual tolerances, as well as handling them to test construction quality for long lasting reliability in use. I use the brilliant 'Pure Tone' Multi Contact Jack sockets as they are incredibly reliable, due to their additional contact points for both tip and sleeve. I use CRL, Oak and Switchcraft brand switches across the range as these are built very well, with care will last for many years to come and have long since provided me with reliable use professionally. All kits are wired up with quality USA made Gavitt wire, it's great to work with, super consistent gauge and provides me with a very reliable quality item for my kits. I totally understand that with anything guitar, it is subjective, but I have, with an open mind, thoroughly tested a broad variety of components over the years and these have all become the items I trust to use every day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarness FAQ's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've been proudly making, developing and installing my pre-wired guitar harnesses since the beginning of the Home of Tone back in 2015 (time flies when you're having fun right!).

The Ground Bug is a pot washer that fits between the pot casing and the pickguard\/body and has a number of lugs (much like with the main signal connections on the pot for example) to which you can very easily solder your ground wire connections too. Completely removing the worry and risk of soldering a pot casing, something I know many guitarists complain about having to learn to do. \u003cbr\u003eI have been stocking Ground Bugs for a while, and they really are the perfect match for a pre-wired harness as they further help you with your installs.
