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 Vintage Strat Kit uses Paper In Oil K42Y tone cap for improved overall performance. Excellent clarity with very vintage warm and woody tones. All wired 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 Kit:
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.
Wiring Option: Optional T2 tone bridge control wiring modification:
If you prefer the below modification add a note to your order.
Option: ** Rear tone T2 control will affect the bridge pickup in addition to the middle pickup
I personally prefer Bourn's potentiometers over all other brands incuding 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
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 pickups. 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. I can not be responsible if you damage a unit.
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. If you have any questions or need help with your guitar project please send me an email. We Want You To Be 100% Satisfied!
Cheers,
