Electronics Upgrade Kits for Gibson Les Paul

Our Les Paul 50's style wiring upgrade kits use the finest in components. Pre-tested CTS 500k audio taper pots are used throughout. Cornell Dubilier Capacitors are offered in both the Historic and Production Premium kits. Orange Drop Type 715P Polypropylene Capacitors or Mallory 150 Capacitors are offered in 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!
