Les Paul Coil Split/Phase Short Shaft Jupiter Upgrade Kit

Item number: CH16122

Our 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 "CG" pots to create matched sets to give you an even response when rolling down your volume and tone controls, you can also choose  CTS “CGS” SupraPots in the volume position.  We then fit a Jupiter Yellow Vintage Tone Capacitor

This is a prewired harness for USA Gibson Les Paul's.  For guitars with metric sized pots you may need to enlarge the holes for the higher quality US spec electronics to fit and also you may need US Spec knobs.

With this kit and the options below you can fully or partially split the coils and/or put them out-of-phase.  

What is Balanced Tone:

We like to wire this type of harnes with a .015uf capacitor in the neck position and a 0.022uf in the bridge position because we find that a less aggressive tone control on the neck pickup offers an improved balance of the tone controls.  If you prefer the standard 0.022uf capacitors in both positions just select this from the drop down menu below.

Available in 2 styles:

Classic: uses two .022µF caps for both Tone controls.

Classic - Woman Tone: uses one .015µF in the Neck Tone for better clarity in the Neck pickup, and one .022µF in the Bridge Tone.
