Emerson Custom Premier NTN 3-way 250K Telecaster Prewired Kit Assembly (NO TONE ON NECK PICKUP)

The latest from Emerson Custom - The 3-way Telecaster 250K "No Neck Tone" prewired assembly!

As many have experienced, many Tele neck pickups can be a little dark and compressed. And the last thing most people need to do is roll down the high end. The tone pot -- especially a 250K -- also naturally bleeds off a little high end. But with the bridge pickup you don't want a 500K or 1Meg pot. The solution is the "NTN" assembly where the neck pickup is bypassed from the tone control completely. Better attack, clarity, and the ability to roll down bridge high end without affecting the neck.

All Emerson assemblies now feature their exclusive Emerson Premier Pro Pots. Specifically engineered for guitar and bass applications they feature a tight +/-8% tolerance, an extra rugged terminal board, a precise taper optimized for guitars, and slightly larger lugs to make soldering easier. Along with Emerson-spec pots each assembly uses their exclusive made-in-USA Paper-in-Oil capacitor.  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 they might create a demand for clear pickguards.

You might think you need new pickups: Start with better wiring and find out what your guitar really sounds like with an Emerson wiring assembly.

The Emerson Custom Premier NTN Telecaster 3-Way 250K Prewired Assembly features: 

  • Emerson Premier Pro 250K solid shaft pots
  • Oak Grigsby 3-Way switch
  • Switchcraft Jack and wiring
  • New Emerson USA-made .047µf Paper-in Oil Capacitor
  • Volume Mod (resistor/cap network eliminates high frequency loss as you turn down)
  • 50's style vintage wiring layout (less tone loss as you turn down the volume, and smoother volume roll off) 
  • Vintage cloth covered wiring
  • Meticulous construction
  • Instructions

Note: The Volume Mod is a matter of taste, and the vintage wiring schematic also helps to reduce tone loss as the volume is rolled off. On our own Tele guitars our preference is no volume mod and it can be easily clipped out or un-soldered.
