Tone Man Guitar prebuilt kits will simple improve your guitars overall tone. Your sound will be stronger, tighter and improved clarity. Notes will open up with greater sustain. Tone / Volume controls are very responsive and smoother. All kits are carefully hand wired to order and only the best quality parts are used including vintage cloth and braided wire just like they used back in the 50’s and 60’s. 50’s wiring will put the life back in your guitar.

Our Classic Kit Is For:

    USA Gibson Les Paul manufactured prior to 1977, all Epiphone LP and most off shore built LP using short shaft pots. Premium new components that perform better than the stock electronics found in today’s guitars. You will hear and feel the difference and love your new tone.

What’s In The Kit:

  • 50’s wiring for the very best vintage tone.
  • Bourns 500K Short Shaft 18 Coarse Spline Audio Taper pots with Brass Bushings (qty 4)
  • Orange Drop .022uf bridge and neck tone cap.  Smaller physical size for a better fit
  • Gavitt 22awg vintage cloth push back wire for grounding
  • Switchcraft 3 way toggle switch prewired with Gavitt vintage braided
  • Switchcraft ¼ jack for sold rock connection
  • Assembled template board. Note the template does not get installed. Only used to assure correct measurements when building, shipping protection and makes your part of the installation easier.
  • 50's Wiring diagram and easy to read step by step installation instructions

    Each harness is assembled after purchase so my lead time to build your kit before shipping is 5 to 10 days depending on my back log of kits. In stock quantity means I have the parts to build that many kits. You will receive a USPS Ship Tracking number once shipped.

     I personally prefer Bourns potentiometers over all other brands including CTS. I have found them to be smoother, responsive and longer lasting. The very best taper available. These pots are 18 spline shaft so USA type knobs will not fit without first pinching the top of the split shaft together a little and slowly push the knob on. Epiphone and off shore type will fit fine. We do offer a line of knobs that fit.

    If you have an imported guitar you may need to modify the potentiometer holes to 3/8 inch to accommodate the full size Bourns pots.

    Tone Man Guitar started from my own passion for music, knowledge of electronics and the love of great vintage guitar tone. I am a one man shop, do all the work myself and I guarantee the very best workmanship around. I want you to be Satisfied.

Cheers!
