Direct replacement for your Historic ES-335 ES-330 1959 1958 1960 reissue. Hear what you've been missing from your humbuckers or P-90s!

  • 4 USA CTS 500k 10% Tolerance short shaft (brass) audio taper pots (2 volume, 2 tone). Top of the line CTS pots with tight tolerances and measuring ~550k. We do measure all pots and use higher values for the volume positions. You may request specific pot values and we will do our best to match those values; please provide this info at check out.
  • 2   Mallory Mustard.022uF tone capacitors. This is the famous Mallory® Mustard Cap used on just so many high end guitars. This .022 uF value cap is most commonly used with humbuckers where less high end bleed is required. Great sounding caps!

  • 50's style wiring.
  • Cream switchtip (as shown) or you may request amber.
  • Wiring diagram included.

Note: This kit is designed for Gibson ES-335 ES-330 Historic Reissue or vintage guitars that use short shaft pots. Also, CTS pots require a 3/8" hole (in the top of your guitar); most USA made guitars are drilled this way, however imported guitars often are not."
