The heart of this drop-in prewired Les Paul® harness is our custom designed 500K long shaft pot. First introduced over 45 years ago, we used a 10-step rotary switch to create a taper that works with DiMarzio’s high impedance pickups. It’s neither a linear nor audio taper pot -- it's DiMarzio's custom taper. To further increase reliability, we make the center shaft and threaded parts from solid machined brass instead of cheap castings.
Our kit includes a Switchcraft® selector switch (with both black and cream tips) and output jack.
DiMarzio wiring harnesses are all hand assembled and tested in the USA using lead free silver solder and the best sound-tested parts. We chose Mod® .022 mf oil filed capacitors for their softer, smoother roll off on the tone controls, and we include vintage-style shielded cloth wire.
*Please note: these are direct replacements for the standard 3/8-inch (9.525mm) holes found on most Gibson® guitars. Some enlargement may be required for non-standard or import-specific hole diameters.
