Our Luxe Pre-Wired kits are assemble by us in the UK using the best components and wiring them in a vintage correct manner.
For our Black Beauty kits we measure the value of each CTS Total Vintage Tone “TVT” pot to create matched sets to give you an even response when rolling down your volume and tone controls and then carefully assemble the kit using vintage correct bus wire and of course Luxe Capacitors.
This kit has a matched set of Black Beauty capacitors, each cap is hand wound on a 1932 Sprague Specialties Co. Winding Machine replica using exact vintage spec foil and paper film. They're hand soldered, hot vacuum impregnated with pure castor oil and beeswax, hand cast in oven-proof thermoplastic, and hand-marked with an old-school offset marking press. Includes vintage style spaghetti tubing on each lead, as pictured.
Woman Tone:
This kit is wired with a 0.015uf capacitor in the neck position and the slightly lower value gives a wider range to the tone control making easier to dial in that "Woman Tone" without it going too dark too quickly.
