Cocked Wah Esquire WIRING HARNESS

Our Cocked Wah Esquire Prewired Kit is the best alternative to the original Esquire Wiring. In position one the pickup is directly looped through (true bypass), no volume, no tone pot is in the way. This gives you the full output with maximum twang and clarity, a clearly audible difference to position 2. In position 2 we have the usual standard circuit with volume and tone control, the sound is slightly warmer. The switch assignment makes it possible to switch very quickly between lead and rhythm, because you simply set the tone and volume for rhythm position, and for solo only switch to pos. 1 and the full output is available immediately. On position 3 we have the famous "Cocked Wah" or "Eldred Mod". The volume is active in this position, the tone pot isn't.

Switch Assignment:

Position 1 - True Bypass- no Volume, no Tone, maximum Output

Position 2 - Volume and Tone (as with Standard Tele)

Position 3 - Cocked Wah Mod, no Tone

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).
