I haven't had a fun guitar project in awhile, so I decided to build a baritone Telecaster-with a little help from Gunstreet Wiring!
And I'm not being dramatic when I say this build would have been a DISASTER without their new solderless wiring harnesses: gunstreet.co/products/gunstre...
A few years ago, on Thanksgiving morning, I sat myself down with “Learn how to solder” kit and, well, I taught myself how to solder.
Learning how to solder changed my life. No, it didn’t lead to a full career change, but it did empower me to work on my own guitars, and without that, I wouldn’t have been able to build this channel.
Get Offset is largely known for demos now, I’m sure, and, to be clear, this is kinda one of them. But the channel saw a lot of growth early on as I did things like swapping out electronics, installing wild wiring harnesses, and fun stuff like that.
Those have been some of my favorite and most fulfilling videos to film, and I can thank both teaching myself how to solder and Sean from Gunstreet Wiring for walking me through more than my fair share of issues.
But not everyone is in an environment where they can solder, and not everyone wants to have to invest in even a basic soldering kit. That’s where the new Solderless Kits from Gunstreet wiring come into play. Speaking of which, Gunstreet wiring is the official sponsor of this video. With the exception of a few parts I had lying around, Gunstreet reimbursed the cost of the partcaster.
But back to Gunstreet Wiring. They’ve just launched new solderless kits for Telecasters, Stratocasters, Les Pauls, and P Basses. They all have what’s being called the “VVC” volume voicing circuit, basically a switch where you can control whether your volume is a low or high pass filter. And kits like our OEM style Stratocaster kit has a switch where you can control whether position one aka bridge only, has a tone control attached to it.
When sean reached out to me, it was perfect timing. I already knew I wanted to build at LEAST one guitar this year, and I was absolutely going to get a harness from Gunstreet Wiring when I did that.
Let’s take a quick look at the wiring harness before I talk about the rest of the build. I opted for the five way telecaster switching. Yes, five. I have a Lollar Royal T neck pickup, and it has a three-wire configuration, which you need for both four and five way tele switching.
So, here’s how the five-way works. Position five is neck. Position four is neck and bridge in parallel. Position three is bridge. Position two is neck and bridge modded phase, and position one is quote bright P.A.F. with bass contour tone knob. As Sean told me, this is quote very non normal. He designed it when he first got a tele and wanted a true humbucker sound. This is 100% new to me and I’m really excited to hear how it sounds!
