These kits make it easy to order premium components for wiring your Gibson® SG®. CTS push-pull pots split the coils of humbuckers for single-coil operation. For humbucking pickups with series link access (3 wire, 5 wire, etc).
Complete with wiring diagram, this kit features trusted components used for decades in Gibson® and other iconic American instruments, such as Switchcraft toggle switch and jack, CTS potentiometers, Orange Drop capacitors and cloth-covered push-back wire.
Be sure your control knobs will fit: CTS pots in this kit have fine-knurled (24-spline) split shafts. Coarse-knurled knobs for imported Alpha pots won't fit.
