At the heart of this drop-in prewired Strat harness is DiMarzio's custom 5-way Super Switch made by Oak-Grigsby, configured to automatically split the bridge humbucker when combined with the middle pickup (position 2). By using parallel resistance, the single coil pickups sound like they are connected to a 250K pot, while the humbucker still sees the full resistance of the 500K pot.

This drop-in prewire harness features a combination of DiMarzio's custom designed 500K and 250K pots. 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, DiMarzio created a taper that works with their pickups. It's neither a linear nor audio taper pot -- it's DiMarzio's custom taper. To further increase reliability, they make the center shaft and threaded parts from solid machined brass instead of cheap castings.

This kit also features a Switchcraft output jack and includes both black and white switch tips for the 5-way switch.

DiMarzio wiring harnesses are all hand assembled and tested in the USA. They use the best sound-tested parts available from Oak Grigsby, Switchcraft(R), Sprague(R), and CTS(R), and they include vintage-style cloth wire.
