Gunstreet Les Paul Special Wiring Harness - Classic

Sale price$99.95

Our kits are a perfect drop-in replacement for your Les Paul style guitar, whether you want to change how your instrument sounds, or just want to improve the durability we have something perfect for you!

  1. Red Fender-Based ‘50s Wiring (Vintage High Pass Filter) As opposed to their Gibson counterparts, this circuit was used in just a few of Fender’s early production guitars - but its effect is the same. ‘50s wiring maintains your pickups’ complete frequency spectrum along the full turn of the volume pot, while the tone pot dials in (or out) dynamics and high-end. A great circuit for players who want to hear their guitar’s pure voice at any volume.
  2. Blue Modern Wiring (Low Pass Filter) The new gold standard for guitar circuits, modern wiring allows volume and tone to function more independently from one another. While rolling down volume will send some high frequencies to ground, adjustments to the tone pot will have no effect on dynamic output. A great circuit for players who want to explore the full range of their guitar’s tonal palette.
  3. Green Treble Bleed (Modern High Pass Filter) A treble bleed circuit incorporates an additional “bright” capacitor that maintains high-end as volume is decreased. A great circuit for guitarists who want to use their volume pot to roll off gain without losing any of their pickups’ sparkle or bite.

Requirements

  • Converting an Import guitar to US spec. US spec pots will require you to enlarge the stock pot holes to be 3/8th

  • VERY IMPORTANT: These Pots require an 18-tooth "Coarse" knurled knob. If you are swapping from a CTS pot to a Gunstreet pot, new knobs will be required.
  • Proper installation of the correct knobs is crucial to prevent damage. Applying more than 30 lbs of upward or downward force can damage the potentiometer, or shaft. Remember, never forcefully pull a stuck knob; instead, "walk it off."
