Compatibility

The loaded control plate is a direct replacement for genuine Fender guitars, and is also compatible with Squier/import instruments (but it's worth checking the dimensions of your existing control plate if you have an import-style Telecaster). 

We've taken care of all the intricate wiring here, so all that's left to do is hook up your existing pickups. As each pickup typically has only 2 wires (Live & ground) even those who aren't too confident with a soldering iron can have this piece of kit up and running in under 20 minutes. For an in-depth guide on how to install the fully loaded Telecaster Compatible Control Plate lease refer to our video guide on wiring a USA Telecaster.

CTS Audio Taper Pots

CTS pots are typically used by higher-end guitar builders and techs but this is not due to any difference in tone. The main reason cited for using CTS pots is that they will last longer due to a more sturdy construction, and for that reason, you’ll often find them used in USA-made guitars and guitar gear.

We supply audio taper pots for both volume and tone as these produce a smoother and more rounded sweep. All pots are metered and matched to ensure a perfect balance of tone and volume across all switch positions.

Your choice of Capacitor

Select from top-tier brands in the guitar modification arena. Our collection includes Sprague Orange Drops, Sozo Polyester Caps, MOD Electrics Oil-Filled Caps, and Jupiter Bumblebee Paper-in-Oil Caps.

Switchcraft Mono Output Jack

Large guitar manufacturers will very often cut corners by using cheaper components, particularly on the input jack. Switchcraft has a great reputation for using only the highest quality materials in their components, providing significant durability and performance upgrades over cheaper parts. 

Optional Treble Bleed Upgrade

This 0.001uF capacitor together with a 130k resistors are soldered to your volume control, resulting in a more uniform sweep from 1-10 and preventing treble loss at lower volumes.

Cloth Push-Back Wire

Push-back cloth wire features regularly on high-end and vintage guitars, providing easy usability for neat wiring jobs. It's double insulated to prevent you from burning through the outer wire and there's no need for wire stripping thanks to its push-back design.

Will this fit my guitar?

This pre-wired kit is compatible with USA, MIM and Japanese Telecaster models. It will also fit the majority of import-style Telecaster models, although we'd recommend checking the dimensions of the control plate first, as some import models have a slightly fatter control plate. 

All of our kits come with an easy-to-follow wiring diagram. For help installing the fully loaded Telecaster-compatible control plate please refer to our video guide on Wiring a Telecaster

Good quality sound deadener at a good price.
Model: NewSLS50_52
Quality sound deadening that adheres to body panels well. You can easily hear the vibration reduction after just the first piece by tapping on the body panel before and after.

Works well and sticks well. I used a roller and it has been over a year and everything still sticking as good as day i put it everywhere. I didnt use any adhesive but I did wipe everything down with acetone before I applied. Good stuff at a good price

BUY THIS ONE!
Model: NewSLS50_52
This is one of the good ones. There are other brands just as good, and manny brands are worse, but this handles well, rolls down easily, doesn't come off at all easily, and adapts to dips and curves like a champ. Appropriately heavy and dead, I'm happy with the way it smothers panel resonances and even at muffling direct sound, like a big hand over my Uncle Harry's eternally noisy mouth. You can rip the foil but you have to work hard at doing that. Remember to buy a brayer; you can roll overlaps nice and thin. Also remember to pre-wipe the sheet metal with a decent solvent like acetone or Stoddard/Varsol. It should last forever.

Good stuff, but watch the temp
Model: NewSLS50_52
I used this in my single cab pickup truck (89 ford.) It only took half the box (10 sheets or 25 square feet) to do the floors, but I bought the big box because I plan to do the doors, back wall, and maybe the roof as well. One thing I learned is that the temperature matters when you’re doing the installation. It was around 55F when I started in the evening, and when it dipped down into the 40s the sheets would not stick to the metal, and were hard to compress with the roller. That’s why I ended up only doing the floors and not any vertical surfaces; i will have to wait for a nice hot day. The other thing is that the foil layer on top is razor sharp at the edges, definitely wear gloves! I didn’t notice until after but I have little papercuts all over my fingers. Aside from those things, the install was easy and straightforward. The sheets cut easily with scissors, and any goo that ends up on your hands or scissors can be cleaned up with acetone (nail polish remover), or lacquer thinner. I would use this stuff again.
