SGK-1-3
Standard SGK-1-3 $47.95 Assembled
Put some teeth into your guitar! More body, more volume and a clear tone that can cut through a mix, that is what to expect with the BCS Standard series.
This kit is a complete electrical replacement for a variety of models from Ibanez, LTD, Jackson and any guitar with a similar lay out with a 3 way switch.
We use 500K CTS pots made especially for MOJO (with a guaranteed 10% tolerance) to bring more body and clarity to your tone. We use Oak Grigsby 3-way switches for blade style switching and for wiring we use 18 gauge thick stranded wire that is wax coated and cloth covered on all of the ground connections and the conductor connections are 22 gauge solid core wire that is cloth covered and color coded for easy identification. The output jack is a Switchcraft mono jack that will give you a good solid connection. At the heart of the Firestorm kits is the MOJO Dijon capacitor. These capacitors were designed to emulate the Malory 150 “Mustard” caps found in early British amplifiers and what resulted were caps that sounded great in both amps and guitars. These caps still give the same full bodied tone with more volume just like the Vitamin T’s used in our Vintage kits but these caps are a little brighter and don’t have as warm of a sound as the Vitamin T’s. These caps are not sterile sounding (not by a long way) just clean with an organic feel.
Make sure it fits! The SGK-1 kits will stretch from 2 3/4” (69.87mm) to 3 1/2” (88.89mm) from pot to pot to fit a variety of models. The distance from the tone pot to the output jack is a maximum of 4” (101.60mm). To be sure the kit will fit your guitar you need to measure from center to center of the pots, then center of the tone pot to the jack.

These kits give your pickups what they need to perform at their very best. The high quality components allow for a better transfer of electricity through your guitar which brings out all the depth and subtleties in your tone. This will make good pickups really shine and can even make decent standard pickups sound pretty good, but be aware that if your pickups are cheap pickups that give you a barely passable sound now this kit will make its flaws stand out even more.
The pots in this kit require USA sized knobs for a proper fit, click here for our selection on knobs.
