SOLDERLESS PREWIRED HARNESS Esquire COCKED WAH

Absolutely perfect for all non-soldering iron owners, and anti-hobbyists who have so far been afraid to buy such a kit!

This Solderless Prewired Kit should be installable by anyone. We simply added a pre-wired push clamp terminal for the pickups and ground connections to our standard kit. The wires of the pickups etc. are simply plugged into the prewired terminals and the complete soldering work is eliminated. Due to the clearly arranged terminal row, it is almost impossible to wire something wrong, and the exchange should be relatively quick and easy even for inexperienced hobbyists. Except for the additional wiring terminal, the kit is absolutely identical to the standard soldering kit.

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).
