920D Custom Wiring Harness for Gibson ES-335

920D specifically engineered their ES335-50S Wiring Harness to easily drop into your guitar and totally transform your tone. With genuine paper in oil capacitors, your guitar will have the classic sound of a vintage ES-335. The wiring scheme provides a tight, transparent tone. Unlike modern wiring schemes, it features a reduced treble cut, when rolling back the volume control. The highs sound clearer, especially with the volume pot rolled back. This harness effectively gives you a treble bleed kit function on each volume pot, without adding extra caps and resistors. If you are looking to clean up your tone and let your pickups truly shine, then the ES335-50S is for you.

- 920D Custom Signature Wiring:
All 920D Custom products are highlighted with signature orange wire. Gavitt Wire, a leading producer of premium guitar wire, has agreed to custom manufacture The signature cloth covered pushback wire, and 920D believes it is the perfect choice for hotrodding your guitar. The wire is built with an outer waxed cotton layer and an inner Celanese braid that provides impressive ruggedness while still maintaining a 22 gauge thickness. Limiting the amount of wire on each build compliments your choice of pickups by creating the perfect balance between capacitance and resistance.

- 920D Custom 450G Series Potentiometers:
920D Custom potentiometers are used in this build. 920D pots are manufactured by CTS to 920D exact specifications and are metered for accuracy before being used in any… read more 920D Custom gear.

920D specify a 10% audio taper, accompanied with a low rotational torque rating of 0.50-2.00 in.oz (compared to the industry standard 0.75-6.00 in.oz rating) to provide a buttery knob sweep.

920D holds potentiometer tolerances to +/-10%. The industry standard is +/-20%. Tightening potentiometer tolerances will help you accurately shape your tone.

- Pure Tone 1/4" Output Jack:
920D exclusively use Pure Tone output jacks in all builds. Why? Because they're unquestionably better than the old, industry standard. Period.

920D heard the crackle of a weak connection caused by pressure grounds. This is due to the old style jack only having 1 squared-off point of contact trying to meet a rounded quarter inch plug. Pure Tone has completely changed that.
Pure Tone's multi-contact quarter inch output jack has 4 rounded contact points that hold the quarter inch plug firmly in place. With 4 times the contact points, all of the dreaded cracks, snaps, and pops are gone for good. Trust us, the second you plug into this jack, you'll never want to go back.

- Sprague Orange Drop Capacitors:
920D used Sprague Orange Drop Capacitors in 920D builds since day one. Orange Drop Polyester Film / Foil Capacitors are wound from the most reliable polyester film and aluminum foil available and are protected by a rugged conformal coating of orange epoxy.
All of that to say, these capacitors do a tremendous job of warming up your tone and taking away some of the bite of an overly bright sound. Like 920D potentiometers, these capacitors are held to a +/-10% tolerance.

- Switchcraft 3-Way Switch:
920D ES335-50S is built using a genuine Switchcraft 3-Way Switch - which are well known for their durability and noise-free reliability. Switchcraft switches are rated to last a lifetime. This switch is, hands-down, the switch you want in your ES-335.
