**If you are not sure whether your guitar uses short (3/8") or long (3/4") shaft pots please check before ordering. Normally Pre-1977 Gibson Les Paul's, All Epiphone's, SG's, ES series use short shafts. This kit comes with Short Shaft. Visit our other store products to see our Long Shaft Pot harness's. If you have questions feel free to email me.

Note: If you have an imported guitar ( Asia ) such as Epiphone you may need to modify the potentiometer holes to 3/8 inch to accommodate the Carparelli Karat bushings. There is a PERFECT tool to do this with great ease. Email me and I'll send you info.

Lastly: You will be required to do some soldering to connect the pickups. If you are not comfortable doing this yourself, please use a qualified Guitar Tech to help you complete the install.
