Gunstreet Les Paul Standard Wiring Harness - Coil Cutting

Sale price$139.95

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 Gibson-Based ‘50s Wiring (Vintage High Pass Filter) The steep dynamic tapers and idiosyncrasies of ‘50s wiring actually points to sophisticated interplay between volume and tone pots that gives you the ability to open up your guitar’s full frequency spectrum. Found in the first generation of Gibson’s most iconic models, this is a great circuit for players who want to explore their guitar’s pure voice.
  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.

Secondary Wiring: Coil Cutting Commonly known as “splitting,” isolating one half of a humbucker from the rest of the circuit essentially creates a single-coil pickup capable of producing those familiar clean, bright, chimey single-coil sounds. A simple switch that unlocks a ridiculous amount of versatility.

Requirements (Must Read)

  •  
    • This requires 4 conductor pickups

    Icons representing wireless technology, including a tower, guitar amp and pedal, and smartphone.

    • Due to the design of this circuit and its interaction with your pickups' mechanics, the pickup is highly susceptible to external feedback when in single-coil mode. We recommend installing this kit in a properly shielded cavity to help minimize issues caused by amps, pedals, power supplies, and even your home's wiring.

    • Converting an Import guitar to US spec
      • US spec pots will require you to enlarge the stock pot holes to be 3/8th
      • When converting you will want to Choose "3/8th Short Shaft" for the correct thread length
    • 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."
    • Most Gibson curved tops require a "3/4th Long Shaft"
