Solderless Les Paul Coil Split Wiring HARNESS


Solderless Les Paul Coil Split Wiring Harness

Absolutely perfect for all non-soldering iron owners, and anti-hobbyists who have so far been afraid to buy such a kit!

This solderless, prewired kit should be installable by anyone with a small screwdriver. We have simply equipped the kit with an additional screw terminal row for the pickups and ground connections. This makes it easy to connect the pickups and eliminates all soldering work. Due to the clear terminal row it is almost impossible to wire something wrong, and the replacement should be done relatively quickly and as easily as possible even for inexperienced hobbyists. Except for the additional screw terminal row and the plugs of the toggle switch, the kit is absolutely identical to the standard soldering kit. This kit works only in combination with splitable Humbuckers.

 

The Prewired Kit has two push/ull potentiometers to split the two Humbuckers separately. The wiring is available in all possible pot and switch variations, with 50's or Modern, and for a clearer sound on the Neck-PU (Woman Tone) we also have .015 uf Bumblebees in stock. In order not to complicate the overview in the selection bar, we have left out the Woman Tone variant. If you want order a Woman Tone Kit, please write "Woman Tone" under notes (Anmerkungen).

What's the difference between Gibson 50's vs. Modern Wiring?

 

50's Wiring

  •     when turning down the Volume more heights are remaining
  •     a turn of the Tone also affects the Volume
  •     with the Volume fully turned up there's a little more clarity and output

Modern Wiring

  •    better Volume control
  •    turning the Tone does not change the Volume
  •    significant loss of height when turning down the Volume (can be reduced with a Treble Bleed)

 

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 GUITAR WIRING 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.
