Pre-Wired Premium Luxe Bumble Bees Woman Tone Long or Short Shaft Upgrade Kit

Item number: CH16108

These Premium kits are assembled by us in the UK with Luxe Bumble Bee 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 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.

The value and taper of the volume controls is particularly important with Humbucker equiped guitars as they are more mid to low end focus and so when you roll down the volume the tone can get dark quickly.  Our "CGS" SupraPots are never below the nominal value and mostly in the +10% range and the custom taper means that the top end clarity is retained so there is no need for a treble bleed.  We select the higher values for the neck volume and tone controls and then balance them with the bridge controls to retain the tone of your guitar.

This is pretty much the same as the Luxe Kit Item #CH16038 with the optional Volume Pots Upgrade and the same cost.  This just has the SupraPots as standard

Woman Tone:

This kit is wired with a 0.015uf capacitor in the neck position and the slightly lower value gives a wider range to the tone control making easier to dial in that "Woman Tone" without it going too dark too quickly.
