PREWIRED HARNESS HSS STRATOCASTER
ST HSS Super Switch Vintage Prewired Kit STRATOCASTER
Now your HSS Strat will finally sound the way it should. We have installed an Oak Grigsby super switch in this prewired Kit. This makes it possible to connect the pickups to the right potentiometers and capacitors, without the known disadvantages like too bright single coils or a muddy humbucker. The humbucker has a 500k tone pot with 0.02uf capacitor, the two single coils a 250k pot and a 0.05uf capacitor. In the 4nd position (bridge/middle) the humbucker is automatically split into a single coil. Two additional carbon resistors compensate for the 500k volume pot for the single coils. A treble bleed is also used. The treble bleed mod allows you to use the volume pot over the entire bandwidth without losing the treble. This kit works as described only in combination with a splitable humbucker.

Switch assignment:
Position 1 - Neck
Position 2 - Middle + Neck
Position 3 - Middle

The kit is suitable for a H (Bridge)-S-S pickup assembly (S-Single Coil, H-Humbucker). Mixing different pickup manufacturers may lead to an "out of phase" effect. This can be easy fixed by reversing the polarity of the single coils (twisting black and white).

Why a Prewired HArness from Arty's Custom Guitars?
BECAUSE WE ARE ONLY SATISFIED WITH THE BEST.
All our prewired kits have matched pots and caps. This means that we measure all potentiometers and capacitors before installation, select them, and use them according to their values where they
deliver the best possible result in combination with the pickups. This is important because original pots have tolerances of up to +-20%. In extreme cases, a 500k pot can have values of only 400k
or up to 600k ohms. Not infrequently good pickups are replaced unnecessarily, because they sound muddy, weak or thin. In reality, however, the problem is often not due to bad pickups, but simply
to inferior wiring, which mercilessly destroys the actually perfect sound.
We compared enormous quantities of capacitors in interaction with various pickups and thus determined the most suitable tone caps under real conditions. The capacitors are hand-selected HQ film
capacitors with very low tolerance, very similar in design to the originals from the fifties. The vintage paper wax skin gives the caps an additional look. Our capacitors are so close to the
originals of the 50's that nobody will hear a difference.
In all our kits only the best components from well-known manufacturers like CTS, Switchcraft, CRL or Oak Grigsby are used. All kits are carefully manufactured in small quantities and
professionally handcrafted, and delivered to satisfied customers all over the world.
