PREWIRED KIT LES PAUL

The wiring of this wiring harness is identical to that of the current Les Pauls. Replacing the original wiring is also worthwhile with this kit, read below. This kit is equally suitable for humbuckers as well as P 90 Pickups.

When using P-90 pickups we can also equip the kit with a treble bleed on request. The treble leed allows the volume depot to be used over the entire bandwidth without losing the highs when turning down.  With humbuckers, a treble bleed doesn't really make sense.

Details:

•   CTS 500K 3/4" (19.05mm) Long Shaft or 3/8" (9.52mm) Short Shaft Potentiometer, 3/8" thread
•   ARTY's Bumblebee .022 uF Vintage Replica Capacitors
•   SWITCHCRAFT 1/4" Mono Audio Jack
•   Reinforced Ground Connection between the Potentiometers, also for easier installation
•   easy to understand Wiring Diagram

What's the difference between Gibson 50's vs. Modern Wiring?

50's Wiring

•     when turning down the Volume more heights are remaining
•     a turn of the Tone also affects the Volume
•     with the Volume fully turned up there's a little more clarity and output

Modern Wiring

•    better Volume control
•    turning the Tone does not change the Volume
•    significant loss of height when turning down the Volume (can be reduced with a Treble Bleed)

If you want to completely replace the wiring of your Les Paul, we also have the matching prewired 3-Way Toggle Switch from Switchcraft on offer.

WHICH POTS AND WHICH SWITCH IS THE RIGHT ONE?

There are countless Les Paul models, and there are always more. In the different models different toggle switches and pots are used. All LP models with curved top until 1977 have short pots and a long toggle switch. For the most common models since 1977 we have compiled a small overview below. To mount the long switch in the Les Paul you also need a "Deep Round Nut". The Deep Round Nut extends the otherwise too short thread of the switch, and must be ordered separately.

Models since 1977     Switch     Pots      
Standard                     long        long
Studio                         short       long
Traditional                    long        long
Custom                       long        long
Special                        short       short
