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 Vintage Blues 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:
USA Gibson Les Paul’s manufactured after 1976 using long shaft pots
What's In The Blues Kit:
Each harness is custom hand built 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 means I have the parts in stock to build that quantity of kits. You will receive a USPS Ship Tracking number once paper work and parts are pulled to build your kit.
I personally prefer Bourn's 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. These pots are coarse 18 teeth spline 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 knobs will fit fine. We do offer a line of knobs that fit.
Need New Knobs > See our complete list of knobs under Parts Category
If you have an imported / outside USA or Epiphone manufactured guitar you may need to modify the pot holes by opening them up to 3/8 inch to accommodate the full size Bourn's pots.
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!
