The Eldred Esquire Mod gives you the following:

  • Switching position #1 - Standard Esquire - pickup is routed through the volume control only - hotter, louder lead sound with extra highs.

  • Switching position #2 - Standard Esquire - pickup routed through the volume and tone controls.

  • Switching position #3. In the front position of the Eldred Esquire wiring, the pickup is routed through a single, small capacitor and volume control, with the tone control bypassed.


This is in the REVERSE – switch to the rear, volume to the front, tone in the middle, allowing easier access to the volume and tone knobs for swells, etc.


This Wiring Harness is drop in ready for your Esquire build or upgrade. Just solder in your pickups, ground your bridge, and you are ready to go.


The K40Y-9 is a high quality PIO capacitor. Similar in build to a Vitamin Q. The conductor is made of aluminum foil and the dielectric is oil saturated paper, glass sealed in a metal body. These capacitors provide excellent sonic characteristics.

This is a great capacitor for Esquire or Telecaster builds or upgrades!


Pots are grounded to each other in case you are using this with a non-conductive control plate.  Harness will be shipped on a card, bubble wrapped, in an 8" x 6" x 4" box for protection.


My harnesses are well made with top-notch components – CTS Pots; Oak Grigsby, CRL, & MojoTone Switches; NOS Paper in Oil, Wax Paper, & Sprague Orange Drop Caps; Switchcraft Jacks; Gavitt 22 Gauge Wiring; NOS Allen Bradley Resistors.
