A classic 3-way Telecaster® wiring kit.
This Tele® wiring kit makes a perfect upgrade to many imported models and is perfect if you are building your own guitar or for upgrading the electronics that come with many DIY guitar kits.
The components are from the highest quality manufacturers in the guitar industry - CTS, Switchcraft® and CRL are the staple choice of techs and luthiers worldwide.
The CRL spring action 3 way switch is highly regarded and considered as superior to the OAK Grigsby switches found in many modern Telecasters. Spring action lever switches were commonplace on vintage Telecasters (and Strats too!)
