Description

This is a premium pre-wired 4-way switch harness for Telecasters.
It's also available as a 3-way harness with a CRL Switch (If you want it as a 3-way, please message me at checkout)
1 Oak Grigsby 4 way Switch

1 Treble Bleed Circuit
1 Switchcraft input Jack
Premium Gavitt push back wiring
These are the highest quality Pots that the CTS Corporation manufacture
.
WD Music developed these high quality solid shaft Pots with CTS, to offer you exceptional performance in electronics for your guitar. These are not the same CTS Pots that other companies stock and sell. These are developed using 9% +/- tolerances and value at 10% over the standard 250k rating (275K). This ensures you, not only optimum performance but guarantees your potentiometers will always be 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 high quality Brass components and a high quality wiper versus what comes standard with most run of the mill pots to ensure long life, quality and consistent performance.
With this harness, I have used the famous
Mallory® Mustard Cap used on just so many high end guitars but with an in-between value. Why use a .033 tone cap? The .047 gets things pretty dark, maybe too muddy. The .022 would be a bit too bright. The .033 would get you in the middle naturally and strikes a good compromise between both worlds. The .033uf is my choice for a Tele harness (not just with Mallory, but with all tone cap manufacturers I prefer a .033) The .033 tone control is far more useable than a .047.
I have only recently started using the Mallory cap and it has quickly become my favorite. The clean bell tones that come out of them, no matter what position the tone control knob is in. Compared to Orange Drops, the Mallory Mustard Caps are smoother, cleaner with a bell like tone. Orange Drops tend to be too trebley and brittle and when you roll the tone down, they get too dark.

This kit is the best bang for your Buck and if you are upgrading your telecaster this is the number one mod.
Please Note:
If you are putting this harness in an imported Tele, you will probably need a USA spec Control Plate and USA spec Knobs.
USA Control Plates have a 3/8” hole for the pots whilst Metric Control Plates use 8mm (approx. 5/16”) holes. Also, the slot for the switch lever on a metric control plate is not long enough to accommodate a USA CRL or Oak Grigsby switch
USA (CTS) pots have a 1/4” (6.3mm) solid shaft post whilst metric pots use 6mm post, so metric knobs won’t fit on CTS pots.
