This listing is for one ToneHounds Wiring HarnessThe ToneHounds 50s wiring harnessisthe perfect way to upgrade the wiring on your Les Paul style guitar using premium components and a traditional layout.The key difference between a modern wiring harness and a 50s harness lies in the relationship between the volume and tone pots. In simple terms, whereas a modern wiring harness connects the tone pots to the input of the volume pot, 50s wiring connects them to the output of the volume pot. While this might not seem like a huge change, the tonal impact is massive. 50s wiring allows you to retain clarity as you roll down the volume pot, much like a treble bleed circuit. It also changes the response of the tone knobs, creating a slight interaction with the volume pot as you turn the tone pot down. The net effect is amazing; whereas modern wiring can make humbuckers (and P90s) sound muddy as soon as you start to turn anything down, 50s wiring allows the sound to beautifully clean up in response to the volume and tone knobs. Lose that tone sucking PCP board in your modern LP.Most Les Pauls will need long-shaft pots, but we can also make these with short-shaft pots if required. A wiring diagram for installation is attached to this ad, but please be aware that it will involve a small amount of soldering. If you aren\'t comfortable doing this yourself, please take your guitar to a qualified tech. Please note that the harness dimensions are measured from a Gibson Les Paul. While it should fit most import LP style guitars, we can\'t guarantee that this will always be the case. Import guitars may also require some minor modification to accommodateUSA thread pots. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
