This Prewired Kit fits perfectly for the Tele Deluxe models. The classic wiring is the same as the 1972 model, but can also be supplied with the Gibson 50's wiring.

The kit is available in HH (Humbucker/Humbucker) and SH (Bridge Single Coil/ Neck Humbucker) versions.

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

Standard 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)

Important information about the potentiometers:
The pots used are solid shaft CTS pots with 6.35 mm shaft diameter. This corresponds to the original US fender pots. For basses from Asia, Mexico and Europe, mostly 6 mm diameter split shaft pots are used, e.g. also in the Strat models. This means that the buttons may have to be slightly drilled out or replaced, but are usually possible without any problems. Each kit is also optionally available with split shaft pots of the same quality upon request (please before purchase).
