Wiring diagram
Pickups: In order to take full advantage of the push-pull pots, please ensure your humbuckers provide 4-conductor wiring. The colors of the wires are typically red, green, white, black, and a bare ground wire.
Caps: The New Old Stock (NOS) Orange Drop 715P .022uF 600V capacitors were made in the USA by the original manufacturer SBE in 2011-2012, shortly before they sold the Orange Drop product line to Cornell Dubilier (CDE). As such the outer shell may have some scuffs and mars. Each capacitor was recently tested and found to be in perfect working order and well within 5% tolerance.
Pots: Each CTS pot is tested by hand and treated with CRC QD Contact Cleaner to clean and CRC 2-26 Multi-Purpose Lubricant to protect the internal components and ensure long, reliable service.
Pot Holes: The mounting shaft of the original Alpha pots in your PRS SE guitar are smaller than those of the CTS pots. You will need to enlarge the pot holes in order to install these CTS pots. It is recommended you use a reamer to enlarge the pot holes. If you do not have a reamer, you can save money and bundle one with the purchase of this kit.
Knobs: The original Alpha pots in your PRS SE guitar have 8mm diameter 16-splines coarse mounting shafts. These CTS pots have 3/8" diameter 24-spline fine mounting shafts. Your original knobs won't fit these CTS pots. New knobs can be purchased separately.
