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 Best Strat Kit ...... We have taken our #1 selling Strat kit and totally redesigned it. The Blues 64 Strat kit uses the best audio taper pots, vintage PIO .1uf tone cap just like Fender used used in the 50's and early 60's in many models. Now we have added 2 great features, (1) Special volume / tone frequency filter that helps remove some of those harsh high frequencies (Ice pick sound) while allowing those sweet higher frequencies on thru. Improved taper and performance of volume and tone controls with less treble loss. (2) Our special tone control wiring for T1 control of the neck and middle pickup & T2 control of the bridge pickup only.
This kit gives you the very best vintage clean tone from which you can dial in from your controls, amp or pedal settings for your favorite genre of sound. Rock, Jazz, County, Rockabilly and YES that SRV / Jimi Blues Growl. You will Love This Tone!
Our Best Selling Strat kit Just Got Better!
This Kit Is For: Fender or Squier Stratocaster style guitar with 3 single coils, 5 way switch, master volume and 2 tone controls.
Pot Value Option:
If you have Noiseless pickups we recommend using 500K pots. Just select 500K pot option above when purchased and we will substitute 500K pots in place of the 250K for this kit.
What's In The Kit:
I personally prefer Bourns potentiometers over all other brands including CTS. I have found them to be smoother, longer lasting with the very best audio taper. One of the highest rated guitar pots on the market.
Note: If you have an imported guitar (e.g. Japan, China, etc.) you may need to modify the potentiometer holes in the pick guard to 3/8 inch to accommodate the Bourns bushings. This is easy to do.
Although these harnesses are pre-assembled and tested they do require some soldering to connect the pick ups, output jack and bridge ground. A 25 – 40 watt soldering iron is recommended. Make sure you are comfortable with making these connections or we suggest you take this to a qualified guitar tech to complete the installation. Plus we are here to help you with any questions.
Each harness is custom built after purchase so my lead time to build your harness before shipping is 5 to 10 business days. In stock means I have the parts to build. You will receive a notice with USPS tracking number once shipped.
