What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Wiring diagram is included, and easy to follow. If you can handle basic soldering, this is a very inexpensive way to really take the sound up several notches in an inexpensive instrument. The switchcraft jack is just as impressive as the other parts. ... Read More
It includes 3 cts audio-taper pots of 250k value, an orange drop 47 microfarad capacitor, a generous amount of cloth-insulated pre-tinned wire, and a switchcraft mono jack. Don't forget to buy the right knobs for the 3/8 solid shaft cts pots.
Cons
Why in the world did they include cloth wiring in this kit? It's nearly impossible to strip cleanly. Buy another kit with rubber insulated wiring.
Highlights
Quality
Install turned out perfect and it’s made a night and day difference in terms of the quality of tone and super refined sensitivi... Read More
Quality and smooth pots very happy with the outcome
The kit comes with superior quality 250k cts pots which you find installed in finer instruments
Ended up not needing it for my project but the parts all appear to be quality pieces
Price
Great parts great price tough deal to pass up
Competitiveness
50 for this kit about 13 the cost of most other kits with highend components and much cheaper than premade wiring harnesses

Perhaps i should not have been if i had looked more closely at the contents but in most guitar wiring the connection between terminals on the volume pot is made with a socalled volume kit which includes a low capacitance capacitor and a low resistance resistor which together are meant to reduce the degree of alteration of tone as the volume is adjusted
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
This kit had the typical higher capacitance cap for the tone control but on top of that the only other component was a low capacitance cap to stand as the entire volume kit

I dont know that there is anything wrong with that but using the cap and resistor together is just so typical
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I honestly dont know how big of deal that is in terms of the sound production but the use of the cap and resistor together has been around for as long as i can recall so it is unclear to me aside from the obvious issue of providing less and charging lessbut i dont know why theyd want to do that when the rest of what was sold was all excellent quality why they send the cap alone for volume tone adjustment
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I was fitting the works into a small wiring cavity so i cut the legs short on both caps but neglected to use heat sinks and i fried both of them
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
That resulted in no conductivity across the volume pot at all so i had no output through any of the pickup switch settings and i had to replace the capacitors

I have no experience of testing it out
