Description
Stop fighting a soldering iron and get straight to playing. This harness is handwired in the USA specifically for Gibson Les Paul bodies, using true ’50s-style wiring and vintage-spec buss wire so your guitar picks up that classic, articulate vintage voice the moment it’s installed.
Heads up if you’re loading this into an import build: the control cavity holes may need a slight enlarging to fit these full-size US electronics, and you’ll likely want US-spec knobs since the pots use 24-tooth split shafts rather than the finer-tooth knurled shafts common overseas.

Why bother with ’50s wiring? Because it changes how the guitar behaves, not just how it sounds. Pulling the volume back doesn’t dull your highs the way modern wiring does — the tone stays present and detailed all the way down. The volume and tone knobs also start talking to each other, tweed-Fender style: nudge one, and the other shifts slightly too. It’s a small quirk that takes a few minutes to get used to, but once it clicks, you’ll wonder why every Les Paul isn’t wired this way.
