Will this fit my guitar?
Our pre-wired ES-339 Vintage Wiring harness is wired to fit all models including Gibson & Epiphone. If installing into an imported model or a DIY guitar kit you will need to ensure the Potentiometer holes will take CTS pots (approx 10mm). This can be done using a round file or carefully with a 10mm drill.

Centre of neck volume pot to centre of neck tone pot – 66mm.

Measurements can sometimes vary slightly on some ES-339 Models, so we allow plenty of movement in wire lengths between components to allow for a comfortable fit. If your measurements are different from the above, please let us know and we will build your harness to your specifications.

Useful Tip 1
I think it would be a good idea to mention at this point if you are thinking of changing your pickups on your Gibson & Epiphone ES-339, this would be the time to do it, as changing pickups will involve the removal of the wiring harness, so best to do everything at the same time.

Useful Tip 2
Because of the construction of a Gibson & Epiphone ES-339, you will be able to have everything soldered up to the harness and strings fitted to allow testing before the wiring harness goes into the body. Its a great time to test your pickup soldering to the Potentiometers.
