WHAT IS A WIRING KIT?
SIMPLY PUT, A WIRING KIT IS A SET OF ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS AND WIRES 
THAT CONNECT YOUR PICKUPS, POTENTIOMETERS (POTS), SWITCHES, AND 
OUTPUT JACK INSIDE AN ELECTRIC INSTRUMENT. IT IS THE NERVE SYSTEM OF 
YOUR GUITAR OR BASS, DECISIONS THAT ARE MADE TOWARD VOLUME, TONE 
OR PICKUP CHOICE AND ELECTRICAL OPERATION IN GENERAL. ALTHOUGH 
MUCH ATTENTION IS BEING PAID TO A WELL MADE BODY AND NECK, THE 
WIRING IS WHAT MAKES YOUR INSTRUMENT REALLY SOUND.
WHY INVEST IN A GOOD GUITAR 
WIRING KIT?
FOR MANY BUILDERS AND MODDERS, A GUITAR WIRING KIT IS MORE THAN JUST A 
CONVENIENCE, IT'S AN UPGRADE. MANY FACTORY INSTRUMENTS STOCK WIRING IS OF 
MEDIUM QUALITY. BY SPENDING MORE ON BETTER COMPONENTS (BETTER POTS, 
CAPACITORS, SHIELDED WIRING) TO UPGRADE TO A QUALITY KIT ENTAILS MAKING IT LESS 
NOISY AND MORE DURABLE AND PREVENTS TONALITY AND CLARITY. WIRING DIAGRAMS ARE 
ALSO FREQUENTLY PROVIDED IN KITS, SO A LESS EXPERIENCED USER OF ELECTRONICS CAN 
MORE EASILY ASSEMBLE UP TO PRODUCTS THAT USE MORE ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY.
EXOTIC WOOD ZONE OFFERS WIRING KITS DESIGNED FOR POPULAR ELECTRIC GUITAR 
STYLES SO WHETHER YOU'RE INSTALLING HUMBUCKERS IN A CARVED TOP GUITAR OR 
BRIGHT SINGLE-COILS IN A STRAT-STYLE BUILD, THERE'S A KIT THAT MATCHES YOUR NEEDS.

WHAT ABOUT BASS GUITAR WIRING KIT 
NEEDS?
WHILE MOST STANDARD WIRING KITS ARE DESIGNED KEEPING GUITARS IN MIND, 
THOSE CONSTRUCTING A BASS INSTRUMENT CAN USE SIMILAR KITS OR LOOK FOR 
SPECIFIC COMPONENTS BASED ON THE PICKUP TYPE. A STANDARD 
BASS GUITAR WIRING KIT COMPRISES LOWER-OHM POTENTIOMETERS AND BIGGER 
CAPACITY COMPONENTS SINCE THE FREQUENCIES USED IN A BASS INSTRUMENT 
ARE DEEPER. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF ELECTRONIC MANUFACTURERS/SELLER 
STORES WHERE YOU CAN SOURCE THE REQUIRED COMPONENTS EASILY.
MANY BUILDERS PAIR QUALITY WIRING KITS WITH PREMIUM BASS AND GUITAR 
BLANKS FROM EXOTIC WOOD ZONE TO CREATE TRULY CUSTOM INSTRUMENTS.
CUSTOM GUITAR WIRING KITS FOR 
PERSONALIZED TONE

 CUSTOM GUITAR WIRING KITS SETUPS. WANT INDIVIDUAL COIL TAPS? SERIES/PARALLEL 
SWITCHING? TREBLE-BLEED CIRCUITS? SUCH CUSTOM ELECTRONICS MODS ENABLE YOU TO MAKE 
YOUR VOICE ON YOUR GUITAR EXACTLY TO YOUR PLAYING STYLE. CLIENT: RESTORATION: WITH A 
VINTAGE INSTRUMENT, YOU HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY OF A CUSTOM WIRING TO CALL ON A 
THROBBING OLD FRIEND OR CREATE A NEW ONE, BUT YOU ARE ALWAYS IN CONTROL OF THE 
POSSIBILITIES OF A WIRING DESIGNER.
