SG Wiring Harness

The heart of this drop-in prewired harness for SG®-style guitars is our custom designed 500K potentiometer. First introduced over 45 years ago, we used a 10-step rotary switch to create a taper that works with DiMarzio’s high impedance pickups. It’s neither a linear nor audio taper pot -- it's DiMarzio's custom taper. To further increase reliability, we make the center shaft and threaded parts from solid machined brass instead of cheap castings.

Our kit includes a Switchcraft® right-angle selector switch (with both black and cream tips) and Switchcraft® output jack. DiMarzio wiring harnesses are all hand assembled and tested in the USA using lead free silver solder and the best sound-tested parts. We chose Mod® .022uf oil filed capacitors for their softer, smoother roll off on the tone controls, and we include vintage-style shielded cloth wire.

Ideal for the following switching configuration:
 

1.     Bridge
2.     Bridge and Neck Parallel
3.     Neck
