• Choosing a CTS Version will require a 24 tooth "Fine" knurled knob

We take our quality very seriously.

• How to install a 50s wiring kit into a hollowbody guitar
• How to install a Modern or Volume Bleed wiring kit into a hollowbody guitar

• Even though there is no sound difference between a Metric and US spec pot. From a durability standpoint converting your guitar to US spec is worth the mod. US spec pots are rated to last a minimum of 15k spins where an import is not rated. It could last your lifetime with the guitar or it could not. You just don’t know
• Stock you have a Modern Filter circuit if you like how it sounds at lower volume, we would suggest you keep that style of filter circuit. If you want to change it to a high pass, we would suggest 50s if you use mainly your Volume, and Volume Bleed if you use both volume and tone controls.
• If hiring a “Pro” to install this kit. We recommend that you find one that has real experience with electronics as some techs may not be experienced enough to correctly install a kit, or can damage components during installation.
• If installing a Widerange. Fender recommends 500k (Humbucker Pickup Option), Where purest suggest 1Meg. (Classic Widerange Pickup Option) We recommend Fender’s opinion if you want to stay safe, or 1meg if you want to try an uncompressed sounding pickup.  
• Make sure when installing this set up to test the controls outside the guitar before installing it into your F hole. This will make your life a little easier then having to fish it in and out of the F hole to troubleshoot things
