This kit makes it easy to order premium components for wiring your SG®, or similar thin-solidbody 4-control / 2-pickup guitar with a 3-way switch.
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.

1/4" Switchcraft long-thread output jack (1)
500K-ohm CTS control pots (4)
.022uF Orange Drop capacitors (2)
