Premium Harness for Epiphone Les Pauls. With this harness, we have built it using the highest quality potentiometers that the CTS Corporation manufacture.
WD® Music Products developed these high-quality potentiometers with CTS® to offer you exceptional performance in electronics for your Les Paul and other carved-top instrument requiring the shorter 3/8" bushing/shaft length. These are NOT the same CTS pots that other companies stock and sell. These are developed using 9% +/- tolerances and a value at 10% over the standard 500K rating (550K). This ensures you not only optimum performance but guarantees your potentiometers will always be at least the value stated unlike many others using 20% tolerances where you can be over spec but in most cases way under the specifications you need to ensure good tone from your pickups. They added brass components and a high-quality long-life wiper versus what comes standard on most run of the mill pots to ensure long life, quality and consistent performance. WD spared no expense and thought of everything whilst working with CTS, right down to chamfering the tops of brass shafts, making it easier to install your guitar knobs.
Here at Atlantic Custom Guitars, we have gone one step further. With this set, you are purchasing a set of 4 handpicked 5500k CTS Pots with a 5% or less tolerance. We buy these pots by the 100 pack and then we hand measure every one of them and split them up into either 525k or 550k which allows us to offer even closer 5% tolerances on both the 525k and 550k.

This harness uses Short Shaft Pots and will fit most Epiphone and Imported Les Paul's. However, you will most likely have to enlarge the holes for the pots to 3/8 inch and change out your knobs because most Epiphone and Imported pots use a smaller hole and also metric pots use smaller 18 spline knobs whilst USA pots use 24 spline knobs. If you have questions, please contact me.
You now have the option to add a set of 4 WD Music Bell or Speed knobs which are guaranteed to fit our pots. These are top quality knobs with USA Spec 24 spline posts and at a special price compared to our normal price for 4 knobs.
