Emerson Gibson Les Paul Prewired Kit, Short Shaft
zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Turn back time on your Les Paul to the late '50s with this Emerson pre-wired harness! It features four 500k short-shaft pots and vintage-spec buss wire.
Overview
This is a pre-wired harness for USA Gibson Les Paul guitars. Carefully wired "50's Style" and grounded with vintage spec buss wire for a great vintage tone. For import guitars you may need to enlarge the holes for the higher quality US spec electronics to fit and also you may need US Spec knobs (to accept 24 teeth split shafts).
Note: Pre-wired 3-way toggle switch not included.
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.
- (1) Switchcraft J11 1/4"" mono input jack (MADE IN USA)
