Left Handed Guitars
First of all, I want to say a heartfelt thank you for choosing one of my pre-wired harnesses for your guitar. Whether it’s for a long overdue repair, upgrade, modification or a project, I honestly enjoy making them for you all and the response from guitarists since introducing them back in 2015 has helped that enjoyment grow further, so thank you for the continued support.
Here you will find the list of wiring diagrams for Left Handed guitars to assist you in installing your Home of Tone wiring harness. Diagrams are listed below in left handed orientation, some with RH audio taper pots and some with Reverse/LH audio taper pots. Please make note of which spec you have.
Although these diagrams are on public display, where others who haven't purchased a Home of Tone wiring harness can still of course freely use them for reference. It is important to note that the diagrams correspond to my harnesses, and more importantly, the specific components I use within those harness kits. So if you are wiring something up yourself, there is a chance you're using components different to those displayed on these diagrams so they may, or may not match up. So please double check your components, ensure they're the same type as those displayed on my diagrams and used in my kits to help ensure when you follow the diagram you wire it all up correctly. I cannot hold any liability for issues from choosing to follow one of my wiring diagrams as they have been made specifically to accompany the wiring kits I make, these diagrams are free to use and all risk is upon yourself if you wish to reference them to work on your own instrument.
Have you made good use of some of the free resources here? Wired up your guitar or found useful info here along the way? Perhaps you might consider kindly supporting this free resource for guitarists via 'Buy me a coffee'!
Please take care of yourself and your guitar when carrying out any guitar wiring work as James' Home of Tone cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by dangerous or incorrect techniques used.
