Fast, no-hassle installation. These great-sounding assemblies include prewired control pots, 5-way switch, capacitor, knobs and pickup hardware. No soldering — hookup is fast and easy, and you're ready to rock. No complicated wiring diagrams and no guesswork.

1 Install the jack and screw its white (hot) wire into the connector's right-side terminal (as viewed from the bottom of the pickguard).
2 Screw the jack's black (ground) wire into the center terminal.
3 Clip your tremolo claw ground wire (or the ground wire from your non-tremolo bridge) off your old control pot, strip away 3/16” of the insulation, and screw the wire into the left-side terminal.
You're ready to rock!

Classic 1950s tone with fangs. Golden Age vintage-style Alnico 5 staggered polepieces and AWG42 coil wire deliver! The pickups are individually wound for optimum output at the neck, middle and bridge positions, and wax-potted for microphonic suppression. The middle pickup is reverse wound, reverse polarity, for hum cancellation at the #2 and #4 switch positions. Our special 6.6K-ohm Golden Age Hot bridge pickup has extra windings that will get your playing noticed! (The neck and middle pickups are 6.0K ohms.) Each pickup has 2-1/16" (52.39mm) polepiece spread, and vintage-style fabric-insulated hookup wires.
