Our Best ES175 Prewired Kit

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. 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 59 ES Series Kit is my own personal favorite. Gives true vintage 59 tone. Jazz players love the clean tone. Uses Paper In Oil K40Y vintage tone caps for improved overall performance. Excellent clarity, warm and woody tones with improved sustainability.. These caps are equal to or better than Bumble Bee or Vitamin Q's. We have found no better tone cap. All wired 50s 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 ES175 Kit:
Wiring harness is feed thru the f holes and requires opening in the widest part of the f hole no less than 1-3/16 inch to be able to feed the harness into the hollow body.
Template component measurements center to center:
Volume to Volume 2.5" Switch to Neck Volume 15"
Tone to Tone 2.5" Switch to Jack 20"
Volume to Tone 2.5"
We add an additional 1/2 to 1 inch extra wire run between components for installation flexibility.
Other models that may have same layout. ES275, ES295, ES350T, ES125TD, Epiphone Broadway. Be sure and check measurements. Must not have any wood bracing between the two f holes that will obstruct the 3 way switch from being fed through.
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.
Note: If you have an imported guitar (e.g. Japan, China, etc.) you may need to modify the potentiometer holes to 3/8 inch to accommodate the Bourns bushings. Email me with questions.

Although these harnesses are pre-assembled and tested they do require some soldering to connect the pickups and the output jack. A 25 – 30 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.
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.
Tone Man Guitar started from my own passion for music, knowledge of electronics and 50+ years of love for the guitar. The great tone from the 50's and 60's guitars is what I try to achieve. I am a one man shop and do all the work my self. I guarantee the best parts and workmanship. I believe in good communication.
