The Blues Wiring Kit For Gibson Epihone ES335 ES339 Casino DOT PIO Tone Cap

Description

**Welcome To Tone Man Guitar**
Our Blues kit uses Paper In Oil Aged K42Y tone caps for improved overall performance.  Excellent clarity with very vintage warm and woody tones.  All wired 50's style with premium new components that perform better than the stock electronics found in today's guitars.  You will hear and feel the difference.
This Kit Is For:
Gibson or Epiphone DOT ES335 style. Plus ES330, ES345,Casino, ES339.
Be sure and check component distance measurements, f hole size below and compare to your guitar.  If you have a similar guitar that has the output jack located on the bottom of the guitar please add a note with the measurement from the switch to the edge of the guitar at jack location.  I will need to extend the output jack wire length.
Template component measurements center to center:
Volume to Volume 2.5"     Switch to Neck Volume 2"
Tone to Tone 2.5"              Switch to Jack 6.5"
Volume to Tone 2.5"
We add an additional 1/2 to 1 inch extra wire run between components for installation flexibility.
Wiring harness is feed thru the f holes and requires opening in the widest part of the f hole no less than 1-1/8 to 1-3/16 inch min to be able to feed the harness into the hollow body.
Sheraton models: These models have a smaller f hole opening and will not allow a full size pot to feed thru.  Suggest measuring the widest opening of the f hole before ordering. Questions please feel free to email me.
If you are not sure send me an email with your brand, year and model number.  Send a snap shot if you have one.

Every kit goes thru our Performance and Accuracy Testing procedure before being shipped out.  Our kits work
I personally prefer Bourns potentiometers over all other brands including CTS.  I have found them to be smoother, responsive and longer lasting.  The very best taper available.  These pots are 18 spline shaft so USA type knobs will not fit without first pinching the top of the split shaft together a little and slowly push the knob on.  Epiphone and off shore type will fit fine.  We do offer a line of knobs that fit.

If you have an imported / outside of USA manufactured guitar you may need to modify the potentiometer holes to 3/8 inch to accommodate the full size Bourns pots. Your installation instructions will cover this. If you have questions feel free to email me.
**If you are not sure whether your guitar uses short (3/8") or long (3/4") shaft pots please check before ordering.  Normally Pre-1977 Gibson Les Paul's, All Epiphone's, SG's, ES335 Style use short shafts.  If you have questions feel free to email me.
Although these harnesses are pre-assembled and tested they do require some soldering to connect the pickups and the output jack.  A 25 – 40 watt soldering iron is recommended.  Make sure you are comfortable with making these connections or we suggest you take this to a qualified guitar tech to complete the installation.  I can not be responsible if you damage a unit.
Each harness is custom built after purchase so
my lead time to build your harness before shipping is 5 to 10 business days
.
In stock means I have the parts to build.  You will receive a notice with USPS tracking number once shipped.
