The Home of Tone Pre‑Wired Guitar Wiring Harness 50s Les Paul Long Shaft Kit is a ready-to-install electronics solution built to bring classic 50s-style wiring to Les Paul‑style guitars. Its design follows the traditional layout used in early Gibson Les Pauls, connecting the tone capacitor between the volume pot’s central output and the tone pot input. This configuration preserves the characteristic interaction between volume and tone controls, while the included long‑shaft CTS potentiometers accommodate thicker carved tops without the need for extensions, making installation smoother for vintage-style instruments.

Everything comes pre-soldered to simplify assembly. The kit includes four colour-coded potentiometers, a three-way toggle switch, and a jack socket, often using high-quality components like a Switchcraft selector switch with an extended thread for easier mounting. With the main connections pre-wired, installers only need to attach ground and pickup leads, reducing the risk of mistakes and saving time compared with hand-soldering multiple joints in a tight cavity. This makes it accessible for both DIY enthusiasts and professional guitar technicians looking for a reliable upgrade or replacement.

When installed, the harness transforms the guitar’s control cavity into a cohesive, classic Les Paul electronics system. It maintains the traditional feel of vintage wiring, subtly affecting how tone and volume interact across the pickups. Ensuring compatibility with the guitar body and cavity dimensions is key, but once fitted, it provides a seamless blend of historical design and practical usability, delivering authentic Les Paul tonal behaviour with minimal installation hassle.
