Pre-Wired ES-335 Guitar Wiring Harness Review

ES-335 Wiring Harness

The harness was well built, however, the neck volume pot is bad. It shorts to ground @ about 80% CW rotation. Please test these before sending them out to customers. I found out after I had installed the harness in the guitar. Now. I have to remove & replace the pot. It was a pain in the *** the first time!

This is a great product!

Sweetwater delivered these in 3 days and was updated on shipping through email. I got two of these one for my Epiphone Casino paired with Seymore Duncan Antiquity P90s and one for my Epiphone Dot paired with Seymore Duncan Phat cats. I used a reamer to enlarge the pots and switch holes. I see others complain about the spacing. The spacing is perfect and because of that they almost… read more fall into place on their own. I used the input jack tool. I installed everything on the dot through the F hole and everything in the casino through the bridge pickup hole. I installed the input jack first then tied floss to the pots just below the splined shafts and pulled the two pots on the the neck side first. Then after they were in place, I installed the bridge side. If The pots were crooked, I used a small, slotted flathead screwdriver in the slots of the splined shaft to straighten them up. The kit comes with a wiring diagram. They both sound great now what an improvement. The Soder is clean and strong, and the parts are high quality highly recommended

Poor Quality Control: get Emerson instead

Really disappointed with this product. The pots and caps work as they should, but the wire connections and solder joints are poorly done and aren't meant for real world use. The pots were too close together and with no slack in the connections between pots, that means resoldering to the correct distance. In three different locations the person who assembled it cut 50% of the wire… read more when they were stripping the insulation back and figured it was 'good enough'. I've used Emerson kits before and didn't have any of these issues. Really wish I had stuck with Emerson.

Wires too short

To make a hard job even harder, the wiring harness is exactly the size of the holes. You actually need some extra wire to install it. And there is no extra wire. If you buy this, you might as well buy a couple extra capacitors because your gonna break at least on trying to install this harness. I am not impressed. I wish in I wouldn't have bought it and just taken the guitar to… read more a shop.

Good sound

Overally the pots sound amazing on my guitar. The only issue is, and maybe it was just the ones I received, the wires were way too short once they were being installed so I ended up having to take to a luthier to extend the wires. Other than that it's all good!
