Welcome To Tone Man Guitar

Tone Man Guitar DIY Wiring kits will improve your guitars over all tone.  Only the best quality parts are used.  You will not find a better product or selection. 

This Kit Is For:

USA Gibson Les Paul manufactured prior to 1977, All Epiphone LP and most off shore built LP using short shaft pots. Premium new components that perform better than the stock electronics found in today’s guitars.  You will hear and feel the difference and love your new tone

 

What's In The Kit:

  • 4x Bourns High Grade Low Friction 500K Potentiometer - Audio Taper - 15% Tolerance - Short Split Knurled Shaft - Brass 3/8 in Bushings.
  • 2x  .022uf / 600v Sprague Orange Drop 715 Series Caps
  • 1 ft. black Gavitt push back cloth vintage wire 22awg (to ground all 4 pots together)
O   Options: We recommend the cap values that come standard with this kit for the very best Gibson Style Vintage Tone but if you prefer any of the below tone cap options add a note to the order when purchased and I will substitute if I have cap in stock.
  •     .022uf Bridge / .015uf Neck (.015uf helps remove some of the muddy tone in the neck)
  •     .033uf Bridge / .033uf Neck
  •     .033uf Bridge / .015uf Neck (very warm bluesy tone)

I personally prefer Bourns Potentiometers over all other brands including CTS.  I have found them to be smoother, longer lasting and the very best audio taper.  One of the highest rated guitar pots on the market. 

**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 and PRS's use short shafts.  If you have questions feel free to email me.
 
Note: If you have an imported guitar (e.g. Japan, China, ect.) you may need to modify the potentiometer holes to 3/8 in to accommodate the Bourns bushings.  Knobs may also need to be modified.  Please measure before you order.  Email me with any questions.
 
About Tone Man Guitar: I have been playing the guitar for over 50+ years.  My passion has always been about the Tone.  I have tried many different types of caps, pots and wiring over the years.  I am a one man shop and do all the work myself.  I have a great passion for providing only the best parts and workmanship.  I appreciate you visiting my site and I look forward to helping you with your Tone or any other type of guitar modifications.
 
I believe in good communication.  If you have questions please feel free to send me an email.  I will respond as quickly as I can.  Same goes when you receive your parts.  I want you to be satisfied!
