Gibson Les Paul Upgrade Kit Bourns 500K Long Shaft Pots Orange drop tone caps - Classic Series

Kit for Les Paul Gibson using long shaft pots.

Tone Man Guitar DIY Wiring kits will improve your guitars over all tone. Only the best quality parts are used. You will not find a better product or selection. 

This Kit Is For:

• USA Gibson Les Paul manufactured from 1977 to present using long shaft pots . Premium new components that perform better than the stock electronics found in today’s guitars. You will hear and feel the difference and love your new tone.

What's In The Kit:

• 4x Bourns Pro Audio Low Friction 500K Potentiometer Audio Taper Long Shaft Split Knurled Shaft Brass 3/8 in Bushings with 2 nuts and dress washers
• 2 - Orange drop caps .022uf bridge .022uf neck. Now smaller physical size for better fit in cavity
• Gavitt cloth push back 22awg pot connection grounding wire (to ground all 4 pots together)

Notes:

• I personally prefer Bourns potentiometers over all other brands including CTS. I have found them to be smoother, responsive and longer lasting. The very best taper available. These pots are 18 spline shaft so USA type knobs will not fit without first pinching the top of the split shaft together a little and slowly push the knob on. Epiphone and off shore type will fit fine. We do offer a line of knobs that fit.
• **If you are not sure whether your guitar uses short (3/8") or long (3/4") shaft pots please check before ordering. Normally Pre-1977 Gibson Les Paul's, all Epiphone's, SG's use short shafts. Most USA made Gibson Les Paul's manufactured after 1977 use long shaft pots. Fender Stratocaster or copies of Strats use short shaft. If you have questions feel free to email me.
• Note: If you have an imported guitar (e.g. Japan, China, etc.)  you may need to modify the potentiometer holes to 3/8 inch to accommodate the Bourns bushings.
