Our Classic LP series uses orange drop tone caps with Bourns Pro Audio pots giving you improved overall modern tone performance.  Our most economical upgrade. Good for all genres of music.

This kit is custom hand assembled after purchase so my lead time to build this kit before shipping is 5 to 10 business days depending on my back log of kits and the kit.  In stock quantity means I have the parts to build that quantity of kits.  You will receive a USPS Ship Tracking number once shipped.

I personally prefer Bourns potentiometers over all other brands including CTS.  I have found them to be smoother, responsive and longer lasting.  The very best taper available.  One of the highest rated guitar pots on the market.  These pots are 18 teeth coarse spline shaft so USA type knobs will not fit without first pinching the top of the split shaft together a little and slowly push the knob on.  Epiphone and off shore type will fit fine.  We do offer a line of knobs that fit.

If you have an imported / outside of USA manufactured guitar you may need to modify the potentiometer holes to 3/8 inch to accommodate the full size Bourns pots. Your installation instructions will cover this.
