**Welcome to Tone Man Guitar**

 

Give your SG guitar that True Vintage 50's Tone.  Warmth, body and fuller tone. Vintage PIO Rusian K42Y-2 NOS Caps.  It will make a difference!

 

Features:  50s Wiring For Great Tone!

·        Bourns top quality PDA241 Series 500K Vintage-Style Potentiometers.  Short-Split Shaft – Audio Taper – 15% Tolerance.  Design specifically for use in guitars.  Brass bushing with metal shaft.  Long Life Carbon Element.  Each pot comes with nut and dress washer.

·        Paper-In-Oil .033uf Bridge / 0.015uf Neck K42Y-2 Russian  Capacitors.  (see optional tone cap values below)

Note: 2016 or later SG may have a smaller component cavity causing a tight fit for the kit.  If you have a newer model add a note or send me an email.  I will make a few adjustments to the wiring for a better fit.

.033uf Bridge / .033uf Neck

     .022uf Bridge / .022uf Neck

     .022uf Bridge / .015uf Neck  (.015 in neck helps remove muddy tone a neck PU can have)

I personally prefer Bourns Potentiometers over all other brands including CTS.  I have found them to be smoother and longer lasting.

**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, Epiphone's, SG's, Hamer's and PRS's use short shafts. This kit has short shaft.  If you have questions feel free to email me.

 

Note: If you have an imported guitar (e.g. Japan, China, etc.) or have mini pots  you may need to modify the potentiometer holes to 3/8 inch to accommodate the Bourns bushings. Knobs may also need to be modified.  Email me with questions.

 

Although these harnesses are pre-assembled and tested they do require some soldering to connect the pickups.  A 30 – 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.
