Premium Harness for Gibson, Epiphone and Import Les Pauls. With this harness,
we have built it using the highest quality potentiometers that the CTS
Corporation manufacture (Choose Long or Short Shafts) and Centralab's BUMBLE
BEE Oil filled Capacitors.
WD® Music Products developed these high-quality potentiometers with CTS® to
offer you exceptional performance in electronics for your Les Paul. These are
NOT the same CTS pots that other companies stock and sell. These are developed
using 9% +/- tolerances and a value at 10% over the standard 500K rating
550K). This ensures you not only optimum performance but guarantees your
potentiometers will always be at least the value stated unlike many others
using 20% tolerances where you can be over spec but in most cases way under the
specifications you need to ensure good tone from your pickups. They added brass
components and a high-quality long-life wiper versus what comes standard on
most run of the mill pots to ensure long life, quality and consistent
performance. WD spared no expense and thought of everything whilst working with
CTS, right down to chamfering the tops of brass shafts, making it easier to
install your guitar knobs.
We buy these pots in 100 bulk packs and as soon as we receive them, we go one
step further. We measure every one of them and split them into either 550k or
525k and by doing that we can offer a tighter 5% tolerance on both the 525k and
550k. With this harness, we have handpicked four 550k pots and the variation is
a very tight 5%. When we select the pot values, we always use the higher values
for volume pots and the lower values for the tone pots, as this gives the best
tone.

This harness will also work for Epiphone and Import Les Paul's if you select
the short shaft pots. However, on Epiphones and Imports, you will have to
enlarge the holes for the pots to 3/8 inch and you will have to change out your
knobs because most Epiphone and Imported pots use a smaller hole and also
metric pots use 18 spline knobs whilst USA pots use 24 spline knobs. they are
not interchangeable. If you have questions, please contact me.
