Emerson Custom Les Paul Long Shaft 500k Prewired Kit Assembly

The Emerson Les Paul Long Shaft Assembly will extract the maximum amount of tone from your Les Paul style guitar. The Emerson Les Paul kit features their CTS hi-spec Pots and their exclusive USA-made Paper-in-Oil capacitor with Bumblebee styling.


Made in Oklahoma, the Emerson Les Paul wiring kit features:

  • CTS hi-spec 500K Split shaft pots (3/4" length bushing)
  • Switchcraft Jack
  • Exclusive Emerson USA-made .015µf Paper-in Oil Capacitor with Bumblebee styling (neck)
  • Emerson USA-made .022µf Paper-in Oil Capacitor with Bumblebee styling (bridge)
  • Vintage wiring schematic - Tone capacitor is wired between volume and tone pot
  • Instructions

Emerson Prewired kits are unlike anything else on the market. Not content to use off-the-shelf parts, all Emerson kits feature CTS hi-spec pots. These pots have a smooth audio taper, easy turning, and a super-tight tolerance. Many common pots are as much as +/- 20% and you'll really appreciate the full usable sweep these potentiometers
provide.

Emerson now has their own exclusive Paper-in-Oil capacitor. Made to Emerson specifications in the USA, these precision hermetically sealed components combine vintage sound and modern manufacturing techniques to maximize your guitar tone. Featuring military-spec tubular construction with sealed glass ends, these components are perfectly sized for guitars, and look so cool you'll hate to put your guitar back together. Les Paul style kits
feature period-correct Bumblebee cosmetics.

This kit has the "Vintage" wiring style in which the tone capacitor is wired between the volume and tone pots rather that grounded directly to the tone pot. The vintage wiring gives great interaction between the volume and tone
control, greatly expanding the tonal possibilities (the tone control acts differently depending on where the volume is set).

Featuring impeccable workmanship and the best available components, customers rave about how much better their guitars sound with Emerson Prewired kits. Get an Emerson kit and find out what your controls were meant to do!
