The 59 Ibanez Artcore Prewired Harness Kit Fits Artcore AG/AF/AS/AM Series

Description

**Welcome to Tone Man Guitar**
Tone Man Guitar prebuilt 50's wiring kits will improve your guitars overall tone.  Your sound will be stronger, tighter and improved clarity.  Notes will open up.  Elimination of some treble loss when you roll the volume down.  Tone and volume controls are very responsive to each other and smoother.
Our Best Artcore 59 Kit uses Paper In Oil K40Y vintage tone caps for improved overall performance.  Excellent clarity, aged vintage warm jazzy and woody tones with improved sustainability.  These caps are equal to or better than Bumble Bee or Vitamin Q's.  We have found no better tone cap.    You will hear and feel the difference.
This Kit Is For:
Ibanez Artcore with pots, switch and jack all together in the lower body of the guitar.  Jack located on the end cap of guitar.  Fits most Ibanez hollow body guitars.  AG / AF / AS / AM / GB and others  Please read below details on f hole minimum size opening for harness to feed thru.   If your not sure drop me an email with your model number.
Wiring harness is feed thru the f holes and requires opening in the widest part of the f hole no less than 1 - 3/16 inch to be able to feed the harness into the hollow body. Pot case size is the same as a quarter.  Good test is to hold a quarter by the edge between two finders and see if it will fit thru the f hole without rubbing the sides.
Template component measurements center to center:
Volume to Volume 2.5"     Switch to Neck Volume 2"
Tone to Tone 2.5"              Switch to Jack 9"
Volume to Tone 2.5"
We add an additional 1/2 to 1 inch extra wire run between components for installation flexibility.  Also longer wire run on jack to reach the end location.

Every kit goes thru our Performance and Accuracy Testing procedures before being shipped out.  Our kits work.
I personally prefer Bourns potentiometers over all other brands including CTS.  I have found them to be smoother, responsive and longer lasting.  The very best taper available.  These pots are 18 spline shaft so USA type knobs will not fit without first pinching the top of the split shaft together a little and slowly push the knob on.  Epiphone and off shore type will fit fine.  We do offer a line of knobs that fit.
Note: If you have an imported guitar (e.g.
Japan
,
China
, etc.)  you may need to modify the potentiometer holes to 3/8 inch to accommodate the Bourns bushings.
Although these harnesses are pre-assembled and tested they do require some soldering to connect the pickups and the output jack.
A 30 – 40 watt soldering iron is recommended.
Make sure you are comfortable with making these connections or we suggest you take this to a qualified guitar tech to complete the installation.
I can not be responsible if you damage a unit.
