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 7-way' harness, sometimes nicknamed the 'Gilmour mod', however, how much DG actually used it is up for debate so I'll stick with the 7-Way Strat wiring name instead. \u003cbr\u003eCommonly done with an additional mini switch which requires an additional hole in your pickguard, this version instead switches out the 2nd tone pot for a push\/pull. No extra pickguard holes needed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI have long offered the\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/collections\/fender-harness-models\/products\/signature-series-pre-wired-stratocaster-blender-harness-kit\" title=\"Stratocaster blend wiring kit\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e 'blend' style kit \u003c\/a\u003efor achieving the neck and bridge position sound, however that alters the tone pot configuration. So I have decided to introduce the 7-way push\/pull version so that fans of traditional tone control layout Strats can retain that functionality, but gain the extra tonality\/positions too. With the push\/pull down, it is a completely traditional Strat. 5 way switch, master volume, and two tone controls (I set this up so that the neck and middle pickups are paired with the tone pot closest to the volume, and the second tone control for the bridge pickup). Pull the push\/pull up when in the 5th and\/or 4th position, and engage the bridge pickup signal providing you with neck and bridge together, or neck, middle and bridge all together. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are some important install notes on this kit, due to the size of the push\/pull pot, so do please take the time to read the installation information in the tabs below. \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\u003eCapacitor value\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCapacitor values used in production strats have changed a few times over the years, earlier models using the darker 0.1mfd cap value, through to later models seeing a 0.05mfd value, and more modern Strat models featuring a 0.02mfd cap. \u003cbr\u003eThe 0.1mfd was used from '54 models right through the Pre-CBS era on both maple and rosewood neck instruments, into what I believe to be 1968. \u003cbr\u003eThe late '68 and '69 guitars onwards right through the 70's, I have seen the transition to using the 0.05uF cap values as standard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eTone capacitor spec - \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e0.1mfd (Used on production Stratocasters from '54 to around '68)\u003cbr\u003e0.05mfd (Used on production Stratocasters from around '68 onwards)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI also offer this with a more 'modern' cap choice of 0.02mfd.

Firstly, cavity depth. Your Strats control cavity must be a minimum of 30mm depth where the pots are situated for the push\/pull pot housing to physically fit. Secondly, the soldering method required to solder the bridge pickup signal wires to the small solder eyelets on the push\/pull pot PCB can be quite tricky due to the tight space and small components.

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\/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. 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. 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!).

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\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"James' Home of Tone","offers":[{"title":"No \/ 0.1mfd \/ Without ground wire","offer_id":58379372036478,"sku":"SIG-STR-7WAY-RH-001","price":77.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"No \/ 0.1mfd \/ With new pre-soldered ground wire","offer_id":58379372069246,"sku":"SIG-STR-7WAY-RH-002","price":77.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"No \/ 0.05mfd \/ Without ground wire","offer_id":58379397300606,"sku":"SIG-STR-7WAY-RH-003","price":77.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"No \/ 0.05mfd \/ With new pre-soldered ground wire","offer_id":58379397366142,"sku":"SIG-STR-7WAY-RH-004","price":77.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"No \/ 0.022mfd \/ Without ground wire","offer_id":58379397333374,"sku":"SIG-STR-7WAY-RH-005","price":77.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"No \/ 0.022mfd \/ With new pre-soldered ground wire","offer_id":58379397398910,"sku":"SIG-STR-7WAY-RH-006","price":77.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yes \/ 0.1mfd \/ Without ground wire","offer_id":58379372102014,"sku":"SIG-STR-7WAY-RH-007","price":79.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yes \/ 0.1mfd \/ With new pre-soldered ground wire","offer_id":58379372134782,"sku":"SIG-STR-7WAY-RH-008","price":79.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yes \/ 0.05mfd \/ Without ground wire","offer_id":58379397431678,"sku":"SIG-STR-7WAY-RH-009","price":79.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yes \/ 0.05mfd \/ With new pre-soldered ground wire","offer_id":58379397497214,"sku":"SIG-STR-7WAY-RH-010","price":79.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yes \/ 0.022mfd \/ Without ground wire","offer_id":58379397464446,"sku":"SIG-STR-7WAY-RH-011","price":79.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yes \/ 0.022mfd \/ With new pre-soldered ground wire","offer_id":58379397529982,"sku":"SIG-STR-7WAY-RH-012","price":79.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1117\/5838\/files\/Home_of_Tone_Signature_Series_7-way_Stratocaster_wiring_harness_loom_kit_1.jpg?v=1793805082","url":"https:\/\/www.homeoftone.co.uk\/products\/pre-wired-guitar-wiring-harness-7-way-stratocaster-push-pull-kit-right-handed","provider":"Home of Tone Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
