Electronics Upgrade Kits for Les Paul®

Strat

Our Les Paul 50's style wiring upgrade kits use the finest in components. Pre-tested CTS 500k audio taper pots are used throughout. Renowned Hovland MusiCaps are used in both the Historic and Production Premium kits. Mallory 150 caps are used in both the Historic and Production Deluxe kits.

Many players are finding modern Les Pauls to be dull sounding, and lacking in tonal character. Many are not pleased with the pot tapers as well. This is all due to the use of inferior grade 300k linear taper pots. These pots can choke off the high-end, making the tone dull and "stuffy", and render the pot tapers less than optimal. The modern wiring also tends to dampen the high-end.

The 50's style wiring, and the CTS 500k audio taper pots that are used in our kits help to give your guitar its maximum tone, while better retaining high-end frequencies when turning down your guitar's volume controls. This is a vast improvement over the "modern" wiring, as it allows you to actually use your volume controls without your tone turning to mud. Like many things from the 50's, you'll wonder why they ever changed from it in the first place!
