Description
Transform your Les Paul® with the DiMarzio GW2101 Les Paul Wiring Harness Upgrade, engineered for those who demand precision and reliability in their tone. The centerpiece of this drop-in, prewired harness is DiMarzio’s custom-designed 500K long shaft potentiometer, a key component that has been perfected over the last 45 years. This pot features a unique 10-step rotary switch, tailored specifically to optimize the performance of DiMarzio’s high impedance pickups. Unlike conventional linear or audio taper pots, DiMarzio’s custom taper provides more precise control, allowing you to fine-tune your sound with unparalleled accuracy.
Durability is built into every aspect of this harness. The center shaft and threaded parts are machined from solid brass, offering superior strength and longevity compared to cheaper cast alternatives. This ensures that your wiring harness will stand up to the rigors of regular use, providing consistent performance for years to come.
The kit comes complete with a premium Switchcraft® selector switch, which includes both black and cream tips for aesthetic customization, as well as a high-quality output jack. These components are all hand-assembled and meticulously tested in the USA using lead-free silver solder and the finest sound-tested parts, ensuring top-notch signal integrity.
For tone control, DiMarzio has selected Mod® .022 mf oil-filled capacitors, chosen for their ability to produce a softer, smoother roll-off that enhances the warmth and clarity of your guitar’s tone. The use of vintage-style shielded cloth wire throughout the harness not only adds a touch of authenticity but also ensures that your signal remains clean and free from unwanted noise.
