Item Description
These hand-wired harnesses are customized just for you and work well with most One Humbucker (or other One Pickup) Systems. We offer many style and upgrade options as well as typical replacements in standard and left-handed made-to-order wire harness versions so you can tailor your choices to take your playing to new levels. Each harness is unique and, based on your selections as well current component stock on hand, may vary in appearance from the sample product images. Since we wire to order, we can accommodate many styles and preferences. Message us; we’re happy to answer any questions.
We have many pot options for you to choose from to further customize your new harness. These are available in Large (Quarter Size) or Small (Dime Size) as well as Short (~15mm) or Long (~18mm) Shaft styles. Generally, short shafts are for mounting through a control plate or pickguard only and long shafts are for body mounting. If you are going through a guard and body or have a unique set-up, you may need additional nuts or washers (sold separately) for height adjustment. Longer life brass bushings, CTS styles and Push-Pull options are also available in some configurations. Audio Taper (“A” pot) or Linear Taper (“B” pot) styles are available. Players will often use B Pots for the volume and A pots for tone, but it’s really a personal playing preference. We also offer your choice of OHM style: 25K, 250K, or 500K. Traditionally, humbuckers are paired with 500K pots and single coil pickups with 250K pots. If you are coil splitting, we do not recommend 250K. 25K pots are used with active pickups and, if selected, include an upgrade from Mono Jack to Stereo Jack plus a Battery Clip. Depending on your style and what you are looking for in terms of performance, you might vary from these standards as you please, but results will vary (exercise extreme discretion!). Use the drop-down menu to see which options are available for this item and let us know if you have any questions.
Our tone capacitors help produce balanced bass, middle, and treble and will work with most single coils and humbuckers. Choose Paper in Oil (Round Case/Axial Style aka Black Bee), Sprague Orange Drop (Round Case/Axial Style aka Cornell Dubilier Style), or Standard Mylar Chiclet Style of Tone Cap. We offer a variety of mfd measurements: 0.1uF (usually paired with 25K pots / active pickups), 0.022uF (most often paired with 250K pots), 0.033uF (used for many different set-ups, including LPs) or 0.047uF (usually used with 500K pots).
A Mono Jack open-frame, 2-pin conductor style jack is included with each harness; this jack requires a 9mm mounting hole and tightens to your jack plate (sold separately). A Stereo Jack open-frame style jack is an optional upgrade and requires a 9mm mounting hole; this jack tightens to your jack plate (sold separately). Another option is our Barrel Jack cylinder style; this jack requires a 12mm mounting hole and tightens from the inside of your guitar. We also offer professional series Switchcraft jacks; these use a 10mm mounting hole and tighten to your jack plate (sold separately). Our jacks work with standard cables only and accept standard ¼” plugs.
Soldering is required for installation. We provide basic instructions posted in the item images, not sent as a hard copy with your order, to show the connection points from your pickup you’ll need to solder. Please know your abilities/requirements and check your measurements/needs carefully to see if this item will work for your set-up as no other diagrams or instructions are included. Before you complete your purchase, be sure to refer to the Control Pot, Tone Cap and Jack product pages for detailed measurements and additional product information to determine if your selected options will fit for your needs (size, mounting method/requirements, style, etc.).

OPTIONAL ADDITIONS (Further Customize Your Harness!)
The Kill Switch Wiring Option allows you to kill the signal to the amp using an on-off, two-way SPST toggle style mini-switch. The shaft diameter is roughly 5.85mm so you’ll need a 6mm hole (1/4” bit).
The Series Parallel wiring option incorporates on-on, two-way DPST toggle style mini-switches – one for each humbucker. The switch shaft diameter is roughly 5.85mm so you’ll need a 6mm hole (1/4” bit) for each. This wiring mod can be added to any humbucker harness and gives you the ability to flip your humbucker between series/parallel.
The Treble Bleed Volume Kit wiring modifier addresses the loss of high-end signal when turning down your volume pot. You’ll be able to keep more of your highs while maintaining volume adjustability. This wiring option allows a more constant tone throughout the range of your volume pot and helps remove the dark muddiness typically experienced in the lower volume pot settings.
Add an Onboard Effects (OBFX) to expand your playing and get more nuance out of every session. Be sure to check out the OBFX product pages for details about these circuits and what they can do for your set-up. Adding an OBFX takes the place of one Tone Pot (replacement pot).
