Description: What is it?Hand-wired 1961-68 era accurate Fender Stratocaster wiring harness upgrade for American or Mexican Fender Stratocasters. Hand wired with the highest quality parts and clean solder connections from a professional guitar tech. -This wiring set up features CTS Dish Back 250k Vintage style potentiometers, a .1mfd Dime ceramic disc capacitor, a U.S.A. made CRL 3-way switch and vintage style pull back cloth wire. Like the Strats from the 60's, the bridge pickup has no tone control.-Wired to vintage 60's spec with a master volume, the middle tone controls the neck pickup and the bottom tone controls the middle pickup. There is no tone for the bridge pickup.-The CTS vintage style pots have a shorter threaded bushing designed for a stratocaster pickguard. The backs of the pots have the 'dish back' indent like many of the pots used in the 50's and 60's.-The U.S.A. CRL 3-way switch was the main pickup selector in the Strats in the 50's and 60's. Fender switched to the 5 way switch in the mid 70's. If you prefer a 5 way switch, feel free to send me a message.-The .1uf ceremic disc capacitor affects a wider sweep on the the high and mid frequencies. When the tone is all the way up on 10 you will notice the sound is a little warmer with slightly rounded off highs. When the tone is almost all the way rolled back it produces a warm, creamy, fuzzy tone. The .1uf cap was originally used in old teles to try to emulate the tone of a bass guitar.
