Description
This is a pre-wired upgraded 3 way switch harness for Telecasters and we have also added the volume treble bleed kit (Stew-Mac)1 CRL 3 way Switch (Considered by most guitarists and guitar builders as the 1st choice for a Telecaster)
2 CTS solid Brass shaft 250k pots
1 Orange Drop .047uf cap or Mallory Mustard Tone .033uf cap.
(See below for the difference in caps).
1 Switchcraft input Jack
1 .001 ceramic cap (for volume pot)
1 150k-ohm resistor (Stew-Mac)
Premium push back wiring
I also offer this harness with a choice of capacitors. Fender, historically used the .047uf cap but in this day and age, more and more pickup manufacturers are recommending a brighter cap. In my Teles, I use the .033uf Mallory Mustard Tone cap.
Why use a .033 tone cap? The .047 gets things pretty dark and takes off too much of the highs. The .022 can be too bright. The .033 would get you in the middle naturally and strikes a good compromise between both worlds. If you are a Jazz musician, then I would still use the .047uf cap. If you want the .033 Mallory cap, please leave a message at check out and I'll build the harness with the Mallory. If you don't leave a message, I will build it with the Orange Drop .047uf.
We also offer this harness with Premium 275k CTS Pots. You can check the new premium harness here

This harness does not come with knobs or switch tip.
If you need the Chrome or Nickel Dome or Barrell Knobs for the Pots or the black switch tip, you will find them in my EBay Store
The volume mod will give you more uniform guitar tone from 1 to 10.
Please Note:
If you are putting this harness in an imported Tele, you will probably need a USA spec Control Plate and USA spec Knobs.
USA Control Plates have a 3/8” hole for the pots whilst Metric Control Plates use 8mm (approx. 5/16”) holes. Also, the slot for the switch lever on a metric control plate is not long enough to accommodate a USA CRL or Oak Grigsby switch
USA (CTS) pots have a 1/4” (6.3mm) solid shaft post whilst metric pots use 6mm post, so metric knobs won’t fit on CTS pots.
