Why Choose This Harness?

This upgrade adds the ability to flip each humbucker into parallel wiring for lower output, cleaner, and more single-coil-like tones—perfect for funk, blues, or when you need extra clarity. Combine that with Volume Clarity Select, and your Les Paul will retain brightness and definition at any volume setting.

A perfect choice for players who want classic Les Paul power with modern tonal flexibility.

Disclaimer: Epiphone models may require widening the control holes to fit full-size CTS pots. We recommend using a guitar tuner reamer for a clean and safe modification.
