Product Description Reverse 3 Way Telecaster 50s Wiring, one of our newest additions to our line up of Guitar Mods. This is an easy drop in replacement for any Fender style Telecaster control plate. Making the volume control easily accessible while playing smooth swells. Putting the switch out of the way to the bottom of your control plate, & wired in 1950’s style wiring. Customize your Telecaster Wiring by selecting the type Tone Capacitor, an Oak Grigsby or CRL Spring Loaded Switch, and even the colour of Pure Tone Jack. To ensure your new wiring harness matches the hardware of your Tele. What’s so special about ’50s style bass wiring? With 1950’s Wiring the typical treble loss that occurs when rolling back the volume is much less than with Modern Wiring. Both the volume & tone controls become more responsive, & they react more smoothly without the usual hot spots. So it’s not necessarily about being “Vintage Correct”, but that you get a different interaction between your Vol & Tone Pots compared to Modern Wiring. Another bonus: By simply rolling back your guitar volume a bit, you can clean up an overdriven amp without getting lost in the mix. The CTS Pots I use are a replication of the pots used in the mid to late 1950s. The Taper is not even, you’ll find the adjustments to be more incremental in the top and bottom end of the pot when turning it. Making it easier to make incremental adjustments when needed.
