**Welcome to Tone Man Guitar**


Tone Man Guitar prebuilt 50s wiring kits will improve your guitars overall tone. Your sound will be stronger, tighter and improved clarity.  Notes will open up with greater sustain. Tone and Volume controls are very responsive and smoother.  All kits are carefully custom hand wired to order using the best quality parts for True Vintage Tone.


NEW ... Our Best Strat Kit We have taken our #1 selling Strat kit and totally redesigned it.  The Blues 64 Strat kit uses the best audio taper pots, vintage PIO .1uf tone cap just like Fender used in the late 50s and early 60s in many models.  Now we have added 2 great features.  (1)  Special volume / tone frequency filter that helps remove some of those harsh high frequencies (Ice pick sound) while allowing those sweet higher frequencies on thru.  Improved taper and performance of volume and tone controls with less treble loss. (2) Our special tone control wiring for T1 control of neck and middle pickup and T2 control of the bridge pickup only.  


This kit gives you the very best clean vintage tone from which you can dial in from your controls, amp or pedal settings your favorite genre of sound.  Rock, Jazz, Country, Rockabilly and YES that SRV / Jimi  Blues Growl that this kit is known for.  You will Love This Tone!


Our Best Selling Strat Kit Just Got Better!

This Kit Is For:  Fender or Squier Stratocaster style guitar with 3 single coils, 5 way switch, master volume and 2 tone controls.


Whats In The Kit:


  • Bourns high grade 250K audio taper pots for the best tone.  Each pot comes with 2 nuts and 1 dress washer.
  • Oak Grigsby 5 way switch for 5 distinct Strat sounds plus Switchcraft 1/4 jack.
  • Vintage Paper-In-Oil (PIO) .1uf  K42Y aged tone Capacitor.  The key to great tone.
  • NEW ... Special volume / tone frequency filtering.  Smooths out the relationship between volume and tone controlling, less treble loss when adjusting volume and helps eliminate those harsh high frequencies while keeping those sweet high frequencies.
  • All wired with Vintage 50’s Style Gavitt Cloth Push Back 22awg wire.  All about true 50s vintage tone.
  • NEW ... Special tone control wiring - T1 controls neck and middle pickup & T2 controls bridge pickup only.
  • Blues 64 Strat wiring diagram with easy to read step by step installation instructions
  • Assemble Template.  Note these templates do not get installed in your guitar.  Only used to assure correct measurement when building, shipping protection and makes your part of the project easier. 
  • Every kit goes thru our Performance and Accuracy Testing before being shipped out. Our kits work.
Pot value option: If you have noiseless pickups we recommend using 500K pots. Just add a note when purchased that you prefer 500K pots and will will substitute 500K for the 250K.


I personally prefer Bourns potentiometers over all other brands including CTS.  I have found them to be smoother, longer lasting with the very best audio taper.  One of the highest rated guitar pots on the market.

 

Note: If you have an imported guitar (e.g. JapanChina, etc.)  you may need to modify the potentiometer holes in the pick guard to 3/8 inch to accommodate the Bourns bushings.ith any questions.

 

Although these harnesses are pre-assembled and tested they do require some soldering to connect the pick ups and output jack.  A 25 – 40 watt soldering iron is recommended.  Make sure you are comfortable with making these connections or we suggest you take this to a qualified guitar tech to complete the installation.  Plus we are here to help if needed.

 

Each harness is custom built after purchase so my lead time to build your harness before shipping is 5 to 8 business days.  In stock means I have the parts to build.  You will receive a notice with USPS tracking number once shipped.
