Service & Repairs

PURE TONE. MORE SWITCHING.

Kill the noise, change the voice, and get the switching your guitar never came with. Every harness wired by hand at the bench.

On The Bench

OUR ELECTRONICS & WIRING PHILOSOPHY

Your signal chain starts inside the guitar. Every solder joint, pot, and capacitor matters, so we only install parts we would put in our own builds.

Premium Pickup Swaps

Completely redefine your instrument's voice. We install all major configurations, including passive, high-output active systems, humbuckers, classic single-coils, and growling P90s.

Complete Rig Rewiring

Strip out unreliable factory electronics. We rebuild your guitar's internal harness from scratch using high-end CTS or Bourns pots, premium capacitors (like Orange Drops), and vintage-style cloth or modern shielded wire.

Coil Tap & Coil Split Installation

Get glassy single-coil spank out of your heavy-sounding humbuckers. We wire up custom splits or taps to expand your tonal options on a single guitar.

Push-Pull Pot Installation

Keep your instrument looking completely stock while adding hidden features. Toggle coil splits, phase switching, or blower switches right from your volume or tone knobs.

Kill Switch Installation

Add rapid-fire stutter effects to your playing. We install high-performance button or toggle kill switches for momentary signal muting and silent stage breaks.

Battery Box Installation

Converting from passive to high-output active pickups? We perform precision body routing to install clean, flush-mounted, easy-access 9V battery boxes.

Output Jack Replacement

Stop the crackling, popping, and random signal drops. We replace weak, bent factory jacks with heavy-duty Switchcraft or Pure Tone multi-contact jacks for absolute reliability.

Custom Wiring Diagrams

We design and wire custom control layouts to your spec: parallel/series switching, out-of-phase options, and custom blend pots.
