VESK-1
63.95 Assembled
Put some warmth and classic tone in your guitar! More body, fuller tone and letting the subtleties of your pickups come through, that is what to expect with the BCS Vintage. This kit is a complete electrical replacement for any ES style hollow body guitar with the standard ES335 layout. We use only high grade components in our kits to bring out optimum performance. (Click Here for info on our components) The Vintage ES is wired to Gibsons 50’s wiring schematic and uses 500K CTS pots made for MOJO, Switchcraft Switch and jack, Vitamin T oil filled capacitors, and vintage 18 gauge cloth covered shielded wire. For no additional cost you can have volume mods added to your kit to keep your guitars presence up when dialing down the volume. This option does change the taper of the volume control a little bit in that the volume drops about 50% by the time your knob is turned between 6 & 7 and then the taper smooths out more (All photos of the Vintage series are shown with the optional volume mods). To order the volume mod options please select the kit listed with the volume mods for the drop down list below.
The harness is fully assembled and ready for installation.
Be aware that if your volume and tone pot holes are not 3/8″ in diameter then you will need to open them up for the new pots to fit. Don’t worry this is easier than it sounds and a step by step is included in the instructions.

The pots in this kit need USA sized knobs for a proper fit, click here for our selection of knobs.
