Every harness ships with a wiring diagram and installation instructions, and arrives prewired on a drilled assembly board sized to your ES-175's control cavity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt with 50s wiring for the classic behavior players want from this control layout: rolling back the volume knob keeps more high end intact instead of dulling your tone, while the tone control stays smooth and responsive across its full range. If you've been searching for an ES-175 wiring harness or a prewired harness for your Gibson or Epiphone archtop, this is that harness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChoose Your Tone Caps\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOrange Drop or Paper-in-Oil (PIO)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are proven vintage-style tone capacitors, available on the same 50s-wired harness. Orange drop caps (.022uF bridge, .022uF neck) give a clean, consistent roll-off — the modern-vintage standard. Paper-in-oil (PIO) caps (.033uF bridge, .015uF neck) are prized for a warmer, more gradual roll-off as you turn down the tone knob. Wire either one the same way into your ES-175.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour 500K potentiometers (coarse-spline, short shaft)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTone capacitors — your choice: Orange Drop (.022uF bridge \/ .022uF neck) or Paper-in-Oil \/ PIO (.033uF bridge \/ .015uF neck)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-way toggle switch, prewired with a black tip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch output jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage-style braided push-back wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully assembled onto a drilled harness board and tested before it ships\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWiring diagram and installation instructions included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications \u0026amp; Fitment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits the Gibson ES-175 and Epiphone ES-175 — wire runs are also built long enough to reach the extended switch location used on Gibson and Epiphone ES-295 archtops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnobs require an 18-tooth coarse-spline fit (replacement knobs sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach pot mounts through a 3\/8-inch control-cavity hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot sure what your guitar needs?

Work one component through at a time in order — closest to the f-hole first, jack last — and keep the wires taut but not stretched so nothing tangles inside the cavity. A soft cloth laid over the f-hole edge and top of the guitar protects the finish while you work, and a loop of fishing line or string tied through the harness gives you something to grab if you need to reposition it.
