SSS Premium® CTS Pots
Featuring SSS Premium® CTS pots, our Les Paul harness is an authentic upgrade to stock electronics in modern guitars. SSS Premium® CTS pots have longer life brass shafts and bushings and a custom audio taper as opposed to the modern 10% audio taper, giving you a smoother and more rounded control sweep. No sudden choking or drop offs. SSS Premium® CTS pots are supplied to within 8% resistance tolerance.
Will this fit my guitar?
This Les Paul® wiring harness will fit genuine Gibson® and Epiphone® USA models. The pot shaft diameter is 9.52mm. It can fit the vast majority of imported Les Paul® copies but it is likely you will be required to drill the tone and volume control holes through the body to a larger diameter (10mm) to allow for the larger US made CTS pots.
Do I need short or long shaft pots?
Long shaft pots are used for guitars with thick bodies or arched/curved tops where a short shaft pot isn't long enough to go through. Regardless, our long shaft pots come with 2 hex nuts to allow you to easily adjust the height. Short shaft pots are suited for flat top guitars or Epiphone® Les Pauls.
If you are re wiring your guitar or looking to upgrade stock electronics in a far eastern model or DIY guitar kit, this Les Paul® wiring harness with a prewired toggle switch (sold separately) will go a long way to improving the performance and tone of your guitar. The below video shows how to install our Les Paul harness into an Epiphone Les Paul. For full installation instructions - installing our Les Paul harness®
