You are here: Home page » Electronics » Prewired Guitar Assemblies

At one point or another, it is essential for any guitarist to upgrade or replace the electronics in their guitar. Each component is just as important as the next.

Our prewired harness for most of all famous guitars. As you can see the wiring is extremely organized and neat. This gives you a better current flow for good tone and quiet electronics. The capacitors are LUXE and modern style High Quality caps, only the finest and best aftermarket parts where used.

Many players are finding modern Les Pauls to be dull sounding, and lacking in tonal character. Many are not pleased with the pot tapers as well. The 50's style wiring, and the CTS "Vintage Taper" audio (Log.) pots that are used in our kits help to give your guitar its maximum tone, while better retaining high-end frequencies when turning down your guitar's volume controls.
This is a vast improvement over the "modern" wiring, as it allows you to actually use your volume controls without your tone turning to mud. Like many things from the 50's, you'll wonder why they ever changed from it in the first place!

We offer our Modern Prewired Assemblies also with a Vol. Mod. if prevered, to preserve high end frequencies and improve the taper when rolling back your volume potentiometer.

All Prewired Assemblies has CTS "Vintage Taper" Pots installed and comes with Wiring Instruction!

Why Caps sounds different?

Do different types of capacitors have different sound qualities?
Changing the type and value of capacitor used in your guitar's wiring harness can have an effect on the overall sound of your guitar. We have compiled a list of sound characteristics for each different type of capacitor, but please remember that all changes to tone are subjective and each user could understandably derive different sound traits from any component change.

Ceramic Disc - Flat sounding, slightly harsh or edgy. Often used in 70's Guitars

Oil Filled ( MOD PIO) - Slightly warmer/darker and smoother

Metalized Film (Orange Drop) - Flat sounding with a little more warmth and transparency than ceramic disc.
In regards to cap values, this really depends on how much and how quickly you want the treble to roll off. The higher the value, the more treble will be rolled off.
