The heart of this drop-in prewired Les Paul harness is DiMarzio's custom designed 500K long shaft pot. First introduced over 45 years ago, they used a 10-step rotary switch to create a taper that works with DiMarzio's high impedance pickups. It's NEITHER a linear nor audio taper pot -- it's DiMarzio's custom taper. To further increase reliability, DiMarzio made the center shaft and threaded parts from solid machined brass instead of cheap castings.

DiMarzio kit includes a Switchcraft selector switch (with both black and cream tips) and output jack.

DiMarzio wiring harnesses are all hand assembled and tested in the USA using lead free silver solder and the best sound-tested parts. DiMarzio chose Mod .022 mf oil filed capacitors for their softer, smoother roll off on the tone controls, and include vintage-style shielded cloth wire.
