Emerson Custom Blender 5-Way Stratocaster Prewired Kit 250k-Ohm
Emerson Custom Prewired Kits work and sound better than components that come stock in guitars. Emerson use premium components, hand metered and match Emerson PRO CTS Potentiometers with an even taper as you turn them down. No sudden drop off in volume, no mud when you roll off the Tone. Emerson Paper in Oil capacitors sound amazing, just like the Paper in Oil capacitors that were used in vintage Fender and Gibsons. They are wired with 22 AWG vintage push-back wire for that vintage look and sound. Soldered connections to the input jack are insulated with heat-shrink to ensure durability and long life.These kits are painstaking wired by hand one at a time in Bixby, Oklahoma, USA.
Our Blender wiring has 1 volume, 1 master tone, and a Blender pot. In the neck position you can blend the bridge pickup in as much as you want. In the bridge position you can blend the neck pickup in as much as you want. In positions 2 and 4 you can have all three pickups on at once. The nicest part about it is the fact of it being so user friendly. Everything else seems to be hard to use on the fly.

Installation Tips for Knobs on Split Shaft Pots
Emerson Pro split shaft pots are made to fit USA Spec 24 spline push-on knobs. Some USA & Import Guitars will need new USA Spec Knobs as even some US makers use import spec parts which will not work with our pots. We recommend that you don't rush the knob install process. If your knob is too tight and is not going on ,slightly crimp together the top of the potentiometers shaft ever so slightly so that when you go to push on the knob you don't damage the pot shaft by exerting too much downward pressure.
