These Premium kits are assembled by us in the UK with our CG by Jupiter Paper-in-Oil capacitors to give a warmer woody tone, CTS “CGS” SupraPots in the volume position to retain tone and note definition as you roll down the volume to give a more natural control and CTS "CG" for the tone controls. We then sort through our potentiometers to create matched sets to give you an even response when rolling down your volume and tone controls.
This is a 5-Way Strat prewired assembly for Stratocaster style guitars featuring 3 single coil pickups. It will drop into most Mexican or American Fender Strats with no modification. Wired with 22 AWG vintage push-back wire for that vintage look and sound. 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.
Please see the options below to customise your kit.
In the Kit:
Easy Solder:
This kit is offered with easy solder connection which includes a terminal block soldered onto the volume pot with screws to attach the 3 twisted ground pickup wires and the ground wire from the claw. We have fitted high qiality gold plated push connectors to the socket (see the last image). You only have to solder the hot pickup wires to the CRL switch.
