Tone Man Guitar prebuilt kits will improve your guitars performance. Your tone will be stronger, tighter, improved clarity with more sustain. Notes will open up. By rolling back your volume some you can clean up an over driven amp and eliminate some treble loss when you roll the volume down. Tone and volume controls are very responsive to each other and smoother. You will not find a better product or selection.
Our 59 Series Kit uses Paper In Oil K40Y vintage tone caps for improved overall performance. Excellent clarity, aged vintage warm and woody tones with improved sustainability. These caps are equal to or better than Bumble Bee or Vitamin Q's. 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
What’s In The 59 Kit:
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. These pots are 18 spline shaft so USA type knobs will not fit without first pinching the top of the split shaft together a little and slowly push the knob on. Epiphone and off shore type will fit fine. We do offer a line of knobs that fit.
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.
