Telecaster Wiring Harness- Bumblebee

These aren’t your average bargain-bin electronics with cold solder joints and scratchy signals. Every CLE GUITAR WORKS harness is hand-built and road-tested using only premium components — because your tone deserves better, and cheap parts have no place between your pickups and your amp.

Each harness includes:

★ CTS POTENTIOMETERS for smooth, consistent control

★ SWITCHCRAFT SWITCHES and DUAL-CONTACT JACKS for rock-solid reliability

★ Hand-wired by yours truly — with over 20 YEARS of experience wiring and modding guitars for A-LIST ARTISTS around the world

★ Vintage-spec push-back wire

★ Or Pure 20 AWG 5N SILVER lead wire (Depending on the series), paired with 16 AWG ground bus wire — delivering a clean, stable, and transparent signal chain.

Also included:

★ JUPITER CONDENSER CO. CAPACITORS — premium, American-made caps trusted by even the most tone-obsessed audiophiles. They deliver the clarity and musicality your rig deserves, both in the STUDIO and ON STAGE.

Wiring is the unsung hero of your signal chain. It’s not flashy — but it’s the main artery that carries your tone from pickup to amp:

UNCOLORED. UNFILTERED. EXACTLY how it’s meant to sound.

DON’T LET WEAK PARTS CHOKE YOUR SIGNAL.

DON’T LET CHEAP WIRING FAIL YOU ON STAGE.

INVEST IN RELIABILITY. INVEST IN TONE.

★ Compatibility

Fits most USA Fender Telecaster models with standard control plates.

Also compatible with most Squier Telecaster models; however, factory components (typically Alpha-brand pots) use smaller metric-sized shafts and mounting holes, so careful reaming may be required to fit ⅜” CTS pots.

In addition, the CRL switch’s throw distance may require light filing of the blade slot to ensure full neck and bridge position engagement.

This harness is wired in the modern Telecaster configuration — one master volume, one master tone, and a 3-way selector switch (bridge / bridge+neck / neck).
