"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 non-Historic Les Paul (Standard, Traditional, Classic, Studio, Deluxe, Custom, etc). Hear what you've been missing from your humbuckers or P-90s!
- 4 USA CTS 500k XL 10% Tolerance long 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 .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.
- Extra nut for each pot to properly set the height of the shaft on top of the body.
- 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 Pauls that use long shaft pots (most all non-Historic Reissue Gibson Les Pauls made since 1977). If you have a Historic or vintage (pre-1978) Gibson, see our other auction. 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" "
