This is a pre-wired harness for Gibson® 335 guitars (MFG# 335-PREMIER), wired '50s style like the Emerson Les Paul and SG kits for great vintage tone. This 335 kit will breathe new life into your guitar! For import guitars, you may need to enlarge the holes to fit the higher quality US spec electronics and you may also need US spec knobs (to accept 24 tooth split shafts).

The measurements of kit 335 are:

- 68.5mm across the neck (center to center) from volume to tone
- 65.5mm across the bridge (center to center) from volume to tone
If these measurements are the same as yours, it will fit directly.

**Please note this only fits 335 models, will not fit 339 spacing

What's so special about 1950s style wiring?
1. The overall tone becomes stronger, tighter, and more transparent. It's hard to describe, but you could say it's more "direct."

2. The typical loss of high end that occurs when reducing the volume is much less than with standard wiring. Both volume and tone controls become more sensitive and react more smoothly without the usual hot spots. Another advantage: by just turning down the guitar volume a little, you can clean up an overdriven amp without getting lost in the mix.

3. The volume and tone controls interact with each other, something you may be familiar with from certain tweed-era Fender tube amps. When you change the volume, the tone changes a bit, and vice versa. This may feel strange at first, but it only takes a few minutes to get used to.

Installation Tips for Knobs on Split Shaft Potentiometers
Emerson PREMIER PRO US spec split shaft potentiometers are made to fit US spec 24 spline push-in knobs. Some US and import guitars will require new US spec knobs as even some US manufacturers use import spec parts that will not work with our potentiometers. It is recommended that you do not rush the process of installing the knobs. If the knob is too tight and will not work, slightly bend the top of the potentiometer shaft so that when you push the knob in you do not damage the potentiometer shaft by applying too much downward pressure.
