Treble Bypass Mod ITEM#: GPTRBLE
They are highly recommended with all of our pickups- It allows you to turn the guitar's volume knob down
and still retain all the quality of our pickups at the lower volumes- a must have item!

This kit consists of a capacitor and a resistor, which are wired in parallel across two
of the lugs on the volume pot in order to prevent treble loss as the volume control is
rolled down. The values are 680pF/220K (single coils)

phasing series/parallel switching coil-taps and more.

used with humbuckers.

Rotary Switch;

same as adding a 3rd. knob -
 drill it "dead Center" between the two knobs.
the shaft is just like on your Volume and Tone -
 so u can match three knobs

or experiment with different knobs
