**Welcome to Tone Man Guitar**

Give your ES335 guitar that Classic 50's Wiring Vintage Tone.  Warmth, body and fuller tone.  This premium kit comes with vintage paper-in-oil tone caps. It will make a difference!

This harness is a full replacement for any Gibson or Epiphone ES335, ES335 copy, Sheraton, Casino or any guitar with a standard ES335 control layout.  If you have a similar guitar that has the output jack located on the bottom of the guitar please let me know at the time of purchase.  I will need to extend the output jack wire length.

If you are not sure send me an email with your brand, year and model number.  Send a snap shot if you have one.

**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, Hamer'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, etc.)  you may need to modify the potentiometer holes to 3/8 inch to accommodate the Bourns bushings.  Knobs may also need to be modified so please measure before you order.  Email me with questions.

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.

I also offer other parts.  Sprague and P.I.O caps, pots and various pre-assembled vintage wiring harnesses for Les Paul's, Stratocasters and others. To see other items click on My Store link.
