Tone Man Guitar prewired kits will improve your guitars performance. Notes will open up. Sound will be stronger, tighter with improved clarity. Tone / volume controls are very responsive and smoother. Kits are carefully custom hand wired to order using the best quality parts with vintage cloth push back wire like they used back in the 50s and early 60s. You will not find a better product.
Our Vintage Fender Telecaster Kit uses Paper In Oil K42Y tone caps for improved overall performance. Excellent clarity with very vintage warm and woody tones. All wired 50's style with premium new components that perform better than the stock electronics found in today's guitars. You will hear and feel the difference.
This Kit Is For:
Fender, Squire and other Telecaster style guitars with 2 controls with a 3 way switch mounted on plate.
What’s In The Vintage Tele Kit:
Component cut out cavity min depth and width required to fit full size pots and switch;Cavity width min 1 1/8 inch (pot case are 15/16 inch)
Humbucker pickup pot value option:
If your Telecaster has 2 humbucker pickups 500K pots are recommended. We will substitute 500K for 250K. Just add a note when purchasing that you prefer 500K pots.
Each harness is custom hand assembled after purchase so my lead time to build your kit before shipping is 5 to 10 business days depending on my back log of kits. In stock quantity means I have the parts to build that quantity of kits. You will receive a USPS Ship Tracking number once shipped.
I personally prefer Bourns potentiometers over all other brands including CTS. I have found them to be smoother, responsive and longer lasting. The very best taper available. One of the highest rated guitar pots on the market.
If you have an imported / outside of USA manufactured guitar you may need to modify the potentiometer holes to 3/8 inch to accommodate the full-size Bourns pots. They require 3/8 inch hole.
Tone Man Guitar started from my own passion for music, knowledge of electronics and the love of great vintage guitar tone. I am a one-man shop, do all the work myself and I guarantee the very best workmanship around. I want you to be Satisfied.
Cheers!
