Description

2 CTS solid shaft 250k pots
1 Orange Drop .047 capacitor. (If you prefer the Mallory .033uf Capacitor, leave a message at check out and I will build it with the capacitor you prefer).
1 Switchcraft input Jack
1 .001 ceramic cap (for volume pot)
1 150k-ohm resistor (Stew-Mac)
Premium Gavitt 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. I use the .033uf Mallory Mustard Tone cap in all my Teles.
Why use a .033 tone cap? The .047 gets things pretty dark and rolls off too much of the highs. The .022 can be too bright. The .033 gets 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. For all other music genres, I would go with the .033 Mallory. 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.

This kit is the best bang for your Buck and the number one mod when upgrading your Telecaster
I can also do it with 500k pots if you need it for a humbucker or stack Tele.
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.
