Hi All, (first timer here)
I am upgrading my Satin MIM Tele.
Currently I have a Hot for Tele and Lil59 installed, but I have ordered a STK 1N instead for the neck, to have noiseless operation and being able to split the STK and 59 in various ways.
I saw this harness pre soldered on ebay from a "custom shop"in the US for 116AUD including shipping.
500k CTS brand, audio taper volume control
500k CTS brand linear taper tone control
treble bleed mod to allow all of your highs to pass to your signal when the volume is potted down
Sprague “Orange Drop” poly caps (2 of them) .047mfd & .022mfd values
5-way lever-style twin-pole "Super Switch"
Switchcraft mono input jack
vintage-style cloth-covered wire
Switch Position:
Position 1 (top): Neck humbucker full on
Position 2: Neck humbucker split to inner coil only
Position 3: Neck & bridge humbuckers, both full on
Position 4: Bridge humbucker split to inner coil only
Position 5: Bridge humbucker full on
In then asked to have the switching changed to this (to have noiseless in all five positions) which they will do at no extra charge.
1. Bridge humbucker full
2. Outer coils parallel - Neck (N) & Bridge (S)
3. Both humbuckers full
4. Inner coils parallel - Neck (s) & Bridge (n)
5. Neck Humbucker.
Should I buy the parts separately or is this a good price, compared to time and effort?
Thanks
