What is it?
This is a 50's style pre-wired Les Paul wiring harness upgrade for Gibson and
Epiphone Les Paul guitars. The 50's style wiring allows you tomaintain more
high end and clarity with less treble loss when rolling back on the volume.
The harness features the .022 Orange Drop capacitor for the neck pickup and
047 Orange Drop for the bridge.When compared to the .047 caps, the .022
controls a narrower frequency range. The result is a slightly sharper and
clearer tone with a more detailed high end. Perfect for the player wanting to
keep a brighter response with more treble on the neck and warm/soften the
treble response on the bridge. -Hand wired with the highest quality parts and
cleanest solder connections. This wiring harness will give you the clearest
signal possible with even and balanced volume/tone roll off.
