Our Complete Paper-in-Oil upgrade kits have all the parts that you need to upgrade the electronics in your guitar.  These kits include CTS “CGS” SupraPots as standard in the volume position to retain tone and note definition as you roll down the volume to give a more natural control (no need for a treble bleed circuit) 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.  The Kit includes a CG by Jupiter Paper-in-Oil capacitors to give a warmer woody tone.

This kit can be wired either as a standard Tele or as an esquire with the Eldred Mod, we wupply with both wiring diagrams the onle difference is the additional 0.0047uf capacitor and wiring.

Tele Esquire Eldred Mod:

While the Esquire is certainly a cool (and very versatile) guitar, the original ’50s wiring left a few Esquire players wanting something more out of the 3rd position. The original wiring yielded a very dark tone in position 3. The Eldred modification aimed to solve this by removing the fixed treble roll-off circuit from the original ’50s wiring and replacing it with a low-value capacitor instead. The original Eldred modification uses a 0.0047uf Cap. 

• Position 1: The Tone Controls are bypassed, and the Bridge pickup is routed only through the Volume Pot
• Position 2: The Bridge pickup is routed through the Volume and Tone pot, giving you control over both Tone and Volume.
• Position 3: The Tone Pot is again out of the circuit, but the Bridge pickup’s signal now introduces a small value capacitor, which gives you the “cocked wah wah pedal” tone.
