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.
This kit is for:
Telecaster models with 3 way blade switch with single volume and tone controls. Including Squire, American, Standard, and MIM Telecasters.
REVERSE: This is a reverse (volume front, tone middle, switch in back) wiring. Bringing the volume control closer to the strings / playing area. Great for doing volume swells and no more bumping the switch while playing.
What's In The Tele Kit:
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.
Component cut out cavity min depth and width required to fit full size pots and switch;
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.
Although these harnesses are pre-assembled and tested they do require some soldering to connect the pick ups and output jack. 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.
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.\
About Tone Man Guitar: I have been playing the guitar for over 50+ years. My passion has always been about the Tone. I have tried many different types of caps, pots and wiring over the years. I am a one man shop and do all the work myself. I have a great passion for providing only the best parts and workmanship. I appreciate you visiting my site and I look forward to helping you with your Tone or any other type of guitar modifications.
I believe in good communication. If you have questions please feel free to send me an email. I will respond as quickly as I can. Same goes when you receive your parts. I want you to be satisfied!
Cheers,
