Pre-Wired Premium Vintage Paper in Oil Hendrix Strat Upgrade Kit

Item number: CH16097

These Premium kits are assembled by us in the UK with our CG by Jupiter Paper-in-Oil 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 3 Way Switch version of our Blend kit and was created by Bill Lawrence for Hendrix.  You can see what all the possibilities are below but in essense it replaces the #2 position Middle with Neck and Bridge to give a Strat version of the Tele sound and then uses the bottom tone control as a blend to gradually introduce the Middle into the 3 positions.

Please see the options below to customise your kit.
