"Vintage Relic pre-wired upgrade kit (Mallory MUSTARD caps) fits / compatible with Gibson Les Paul guitars. New. A very economical way to improve the tone of your LP! Direct replacement for your Historic R9 R8 R7 R6 R4 R0 1959 1958 1957 1956 1954 1960 reissue.

  • 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.
  • 2 Mallory Mustard .022 uF 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.
  • Vintage correct 20 AWG silver plated copper grounding wire between the pots.
  • Wiring diagram included.
  • Ask if you need it wired for LEFT HANDED layout (note: we do not have reverse taper pots).

Please note: this kit is designed for Gibson Les Paul Historic Reissue or vintage Gibson guitars (pre-1978) that use short shaft pots. If your guitar requires long shaft pots (most all non-Historic Reissue Gibsons), see our other auctions. 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.

Distance between the components (center to center); if you need different spacing, let us know:

neck volume to neck tone = 2.25"
neck volume to bridge volume = 2.0"
bridge volume to bridge tone = 2.25"
bridge tone to neck tone = 2.0"
neck volume to bridge tone (diagonal) = 2.1"
