Emerson Gibson ES-335 Prewired Kit
zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Make your Gibson ES-335 sound closer to a golden-era model! This Emerson kit is pre-wired in '50s style for tighter sound with less tone loss at low volume.
Overview
This is a prewired harness for Gibson 335 guitars, wired '50s-style just like the Emerson Les Paul and SG kits for a great vintage tone. This 335 kit will breathe new life into your guitar! For import guitars you may need to enlarge the holes for the higher-quality US-spec electronics to fit and may also need US Spec knobs (to accept 24 teeth split shafts).
335 Kit Measures:
- 68.5mm on the neck (center to center) volume to tone
- 65.5mm on the bridge (center to center) volume to tone
If these measurements are the same as yours it'll drop straight in.
**Please note will only fit 335 models, will not fit the 339 spacing
What's so special about '50s-style wiring?
1. The overall tone gets stronger, tighter, and more transparent. It's difficult to describe, but you might say it's more "in your face."
2. The typical treble loss that occurs when rolling back the volume is much less than with standard wiring. Both the volume and tone controls become more responsive, and they react more smoothly without the usual hot spots. Another bonus: By simply rolling back your guitar volume a bit, you can clean up an overdriven amp without getting lost in the mix.
3. The tone and the volume controls interact with each other-something you might be familiar with from certain tweed-era Fender tube amps. When you change the volume, the tone changes a little bit as well, and vice-versa. This may be strange at first, but you only need a few minutes to get used to it.
