Wiring HARNESS LES PAUL JIMMY PAGE


Les Paul Jimmy Page Style Prewired Harness with Bumblebee Caps

This prewired harness leaves absolutely nothing to be desired. The circuit became famous by the guitar god Jimmy Page, who uses this circuit in many of his guitars. The four CTS push/pull pots allow the coil splitting, humbucker in series, and out of phase of the two humbuckers. This results in a variety of 21 differend sounds that are not possible with any other prewired kit. We decided to use CTS Push/Pull pots again for this kit despite the higher costs and difficult space conditions. Due to the robust construction they are simply far superior to the petite pots of the competition.
 
The kit only works in combination with split (3 or 4 wire) humbuckers.

 

Push/Pull setting:

  • All Push/Pull Pots pushed down- normal Standard
  • Bridge Volume pulled- Coil Split Bridge Humbucker
  • Neck Volume pulled- Coil Split Neck Humbucker
  • Bridge Tone pulled- Neck and Bridge is Out of Phase (Toggle switch must be in middle position)
  • Neck Tone pulled- Neck and Bridge is in Series (Toggle switch must be in middle position)

For pickups in series and out of phase both pickups are necessary. The toggle switch must be in the middle position for the functions to work properly.

 

Details:

  •   CTS 500K 3/4" (19.05mm) Long Shaft or 3/8" (9.52mm) Short Shaft Potentiometer, 3/8" thread
  •   ARTY's Bumblebee .022 uF Vintage Replica Capacitors
  •   SWITCHCRAFT 1/4" Mono Audio Jack
  •   Reinforced Ground Connection between the Potentiometers, also for easier installation
  •   Easy to understand Wiring Diagram

If you want to completely replace the wiring of your Les Paul, we also have the matching prewired 3-Way Toggle Switch from Switchcraft on offer.

 

WHICH POTS AND WHICH SWITCH IS THE RIGHT ONE?


There are countless Les Paul models, and there are always more. In the different models different toggle switches and pots are used. All LP models with curved top until 1977 have short pots and a long toggle switch. For the most common models since 1977 we have compiled a small overview below. To mount the long switch in the Les Paul you also need a "Deep Round Nut". The Deep Round Nut extends the otherwise too short thread of the switch, and must be ordered separately.

Models since 1977     Switch     Pots      
Standard                     long        long
Studio                         short       long
Traditional                    long        long
Custom                       long        long
Special                        short       short

Why a Prewired HArness from Arty's Custom Guitars?

 

BECAUSE WE ARE ONLY SATISFIED WITH THE BEST.


All our prewired kits have matched pots and caps. This means that we measure all potentiometers and capacitors before installation, select them, and use them according to their values where they deliver the best possible result in combination with the pickups. This is important because original pots have tolerances of up to +-20%. In extreme cases, a 500k pot can have values of only 400k or up to 600k ohms. Not infrequently good pickups are replaced unnecessarily, because they sound muddy, weak or thin. In reality, however, the problem is often not due to bad pickups, but simply to inferior wiring, which mercilessly destroys the actually perfect sound.

We compared enormous quantities of capacitors in interaction with various pickups and thus determined the most suitable tone caps under real conditions. The capacitors are hand-selected HQ film capacitors with very low tolerance, very similar in design to the originals from the fifties. The vintage paper wax skin gives the caps an additional look. Our capacitors are so close to the originals of the 50's that nobody will hear a difference.

In all our kits only the best components from well-known manufacturers like CTS, Switchcraft, CRL or Oak Grigsby are used. All kits are carefully manufactured in small quantities and professionally handcrafted, and delivered to satisfied customers all over the world.
