The heart of this drop-in prewired Strat harness is DiMarzio's custom designed 250K pot. First built over 45 years ago, they wanted the smooth feel and graduated taper found on some vintage 50s guitars. Using a 10-step rotary switch, they created a taper that works with DiMarzio 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.

This kit also features a premium 5-way CRL-style switch and Switchcraft output jack, as well as both black and white switch tips.

DiMarzio wiring harnesses are all hand assembled and tested in the USA. DiMarzio use the best sound-tested parts available from Switchcraft, Sprague, and CTS, and a vintage-style cloth wire.
