Upgrade your Stratocaster with this feature-rich solderless harness, designed to give players maximum tonal flexibility while preserving the classic Strat character. With switchable treble-bleed Volume Clarity, customizable tone knob assignments, and a capacitor select option, this harness makes it easy to fine-tune your Strat’s response for any style of music.

• 1 × 250k CTS Short Shaft Audio Taper Volume Pot – Smooth, responsive volume control with selectable treble-bleed clarity.

• Fender 5-Way Switch (with knob) – Classic Strat pickup selection.

• Switchable Treble Bleed Circuits (Volume Clarity Select):

  • 1000pF / 150k Parallel – balanced, natural clarity. Volume taper is more gradual, like a linear pot.

  • 1000pF / 150k Series – brighter, cutting response. Volume Taper is more similar to an audio taper.

• Tone Control Configuration Select:

  • Option 1: Tone 1 = Neck & Middle, Tone 2 = Bridge

  • Option 2: Tone 1 = Neck, Tone 2 = Middle

• Tone Capacitor Select (applies to both tone pots):

  • 0.047µF – classic Strat warmth and roll-off.

  • 0.022µF – Rolls off more high end and different sweep than the standard.

• Wiring: Vintage cloth push-back wire for durability and traditional aesthetics.

• Solderless PCB: Quick-connect board for pickups—no soldering required.

This wiring harness is a true Stratocaster upgrade kit, letting you tailor your tone to your playing style:

• Volume Clarity Select keeps highs intact at lower volumes or switches back to vintage feel.

• Tone Control Select customizes how your tone knobs are assigned.

• Capacitor Select changes your guitar’s overall tonal voice between warmer vintage roll-off or brighter, modern clarity.

Perfect for Strat players who want a versatile, pro-grade, solderless upgrade that combines classic sound with modern flexibility.

Disclaimer: Some Stratocaster pickguards may require slight widening of the pot holes to fit full-size CTS pots. We recommend using a guitar tuner reamer for a clean and safe adjustment.
