Please read full description - which starts after the pot information - only because I write A LOT of details. And at the very end of the description - I have a link for a different Gibson guitar control harness (2 control - long stem 500k audio taper, tiny blue round cap, jack, and wires -- NO switch / NO wires for switch) that I have listed on REVERB. And I have info about other Gibson control harnesses that I have on hand - not listed yet - but available for sale upon request.

- Please make an offer with a message stating that you do not need any of these items. You can also message me if you prefer that these details be edited in listing.
Also - please message me if you need a jack plate. Available for sale upon request - I have a variety of new and used genuine Gibson jacks plates (+ screws if needed) for you to chose from. Prices vary based on condition and material made (plastic vs metal).
Here is the link of the Gibson The Hawk parted out guitar that this control harness is from (provided as a reference - it's my listing - this item sold a while ago -- I do not have any more items from this guitar):
The control harness was tested and it works fine.
NOTE:
- Even though this control harness is from a 1997 Gibson The Hawk electric guitar -- you might be able to install this control harness on a Gibson (or even Epiphone) LP Special - or on another brand / model guitar that has a similar design and that has a flat top (NOT carved / NOT curved top).
- Also - if you are looking at this listing - then you probaly know what the possibilities of it can be (or cannot be) for the guitar that you want to put it in.
NOTE:
- May be (I'm not 100% sure) - it you change the short straight 3 position toggle switch to a long straight switch - you can put this control harness on a carved top / curved top guitar that used two controls.
Please message me to see more pictures of this item - just let me know what you want to see.
All sides of the silver outer shell (the round part of the pot) and the legs and contact parts of both pots have surface oxidation (which is a lot of surface cloudiness). Even though these pots are from 1997 - this oxidation / cloudiness give the pots / this control harness an even more vintage look to them / it.
NOTE: The split part (the gap) on the stem of both pots have a small piece of paper in it (you can easily remove this paper).
- This was how the gap area of the shafts were when I took off the control harness from the guitar (NO guitar included).
- This was probaby done by the previous owner because the knobs that were on the pots needed to fit better on the shafts.
- I tried to put brand new Gibson knobs on the shafts and since the knobs were new they did not go down that easy - which is normal when installing new knobs - with new knobs you have to be more forceful -- push down harder... (NO knobs included).
- With used knobs you may need leave the paper in the gap (to prevent the split / gap from closing more). Or you may need to SLIGHTLY & CAREFULLY widen the gap. This can be down two ways:
- 1) with a flat screwdriver.
- 2) My method (which I really feel is a safer way to go) for placing loose knob(s) on a pot's shaft is to put or to wrap tape (or even a small piece of paper) ALL AROUND the OUTER Area of the stem. This way you do not accidentally break one or both sides of the split shaft (been there / done that - it sucks 😢).
- Knobs NOT included - but I have several different style & color new and used genuine Gibson knobs. A few new complete sets are listed on REVERB. And one listing is of One Volume / One Tone top hat style with silver reflector. Here's the link for it:

- The above listing ended - but i have more of the same model knobs (only the pair - unless you want to purchase a complete set of four price higher) in similar condition
- Please message me if you plan to purchase knobs from me.
- And I have this pair of black top hat knobs listed:
- https://reverb.com/item/87978120-one-pair-2-individual-knobs-used-relic-d-genuine-gibson-black-top-hat-knobs-model-prhk-020-knobs-have-some-visible-imperfections-from-use-the-other-two-knobs-from-the-from-the-prhk-020-set-are-not-included
I put Deox-IT contact cleaner in the pots and in the switch.
Both potentiometers (pots) are Gibson potentiometers. You can partially see the Gibson logo on the back side of the pots. And you can see the part # of the pots on the sides (SEE pictures # 14, # 15, # 16, and # 17).
Below are the Gibson part numbers (on each pot) and the values. The numbers are NOT dates.
The upper pot (potentiometer / control) -- which is the one with the brown wire and with the silver braided wire attached to it -- is marked:
- 66-44070028 (< this is a Gibson part number)
- this is a short shaft "volume" pot, 300K linear
The lower pot (potentiometer / control) -- which is the one with the two brown wires, the silver braided wire, and the big orange capacitor attached to it -- is marked:
- 66-44070035 (< this is a Gibson part number)
- this is a short shaft "tone" pot, 500K audio

There are two long pieces of BLACK WIRE INSULATION (that are over the long areas of the silver braided wires). For one of these piece -- the one the silver braided wire that connects the two pots -- has a very small not too light / not too deep silver color nick. You can see this nick in picture # 12.
