Welcome To Tone Man Guitar

Tone Man Guitar prewired kits will improve your guitars performance.  Notes are tighter, open and with more clarity.  Tone / volume controls are responsive and smoother.  Kits are hand built wired with quality and pride like they did back in the 50s and 60s.

Our Blues LP Jr series uses the better Paper-In-Oil K42Y aged tone caps giving excellent clean clarity with vintage woody blues tones.  It is easy to dial in some nice grit tone with your guitar and amp controls.  Good for all genres of music and all type of pickups.  Best choice for P90s.  Great for rock and blues.

This Kit Is For:

Gibson or Epiphone Les Paul Jr using short shaft pots. Premium new components that perform better than the stock electronics found in today’s guitars. Works with either humbucker or P90 PU's.  You will hear and feel the difference and love your new tone.

What’s In The Classic LP Jr. Kit:

  • 50’s wiring for the very best vintage tone.

    Each harness is custom hand assembled after purchase so my lead time to build your kit before shipping is 5 to 10 business days depending on my back log of kits.  In stock quantity means I have the parts to build that quantity of kits.  You will receive a USPS Ship Tracking number once shipped.

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 teeth coarse 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.

Tone Man Guitar started from my own passion for music, knowledge of electronics and the love of great vintage guitar tone.  I am a one man shop, do all the work myself and I guarantee the very best workmanship around.  I want you to be Satisfied.

Cheers!
