This solderless version of our 5-Way Kits are hand assembled buy us in the UK to improve your tone!  We take great pride in using the best components that work and sound better than the stock electronics often found in your guitar.  We start by sorting through the already great CTS Total Vintage Tone “TVT” pots to create matched sets to give you an even response when rolling down your volume and tone controls.  We then fit a Jupiter Yellow Vintage Tone Capacitor which offer a clear smooth control and sound great.  Like our other kits you can customise this kit with an RS Superpot upgrade and a 0.022uf capacitor for a more gentle tone control.

All you need to install this solderless kit is a small screwdriver to fit the hot and ground wires to the wider block and the wires from the pre wired socket to the 3 position block where you also fit the wire from the claw.

This kit is mounted on a 50's style aluminium shield plate so there is no need to run a ground wire to each of the pots and you just drop the whole thing in as is.

It will drop into most Mexican or American Fender Strats with no modification.  If you are installing this on a guitar with metric sized pots you may need to ream your control plate holes to accept the slightly larger US-Spec pots and buy US-Spec knobs.
