Customer reviews about Harley Benton Parts SC-Wiring Kit

Charles, plz 09.07.2023

Bought this to replace some scratchy mini pots.

The output jack was defective (hot and ground were shorted). I did not send it back since I was interested only in the pots and this kit is cheaper than buying 4 pots separately.

The pots and the 3-way switch are ok quality, no scratches and no noise.
I wouldn't install them on a Gibson, but they fit/upgrade an import guitar.

All pots are 500k linear. I read in another review they were logarithm/audio. I guess you get whatever Thomann has in stock which is not ideal (for volume depends on preference but for tone you want an audio taper).

The pots tolerance seems to be 20%. I got one as low as 420KOhm and one as high as 520KOhm. They require a consistent force to turn them.

The capacitors don't look good quality but they work.

I used the existing guitar wire so I have no opinion on the included wire.

Nuts and washer are included.

Summarizing....
switch - ok
jack - defective
capacitors - not the best
pots - ok

Seems like quality pots and wiring

Maccallan 13.02.2022

Good quality, but you need more cable.
I used this for a Les Paul copy and it is just enough to route the cable tree for the toggle switch, luckily I have supply of things for this but I would not have had enough without it. It says SG/LP on the packet and yes for a SG it is enough. So extra cable should be added IMO.
Again, looks like a decent product

Qualité/prix imbattable

J’ai upgradé mon HB SC 500 avec ce kit et c’est un bonheur . Les potentiomètres et le switch sont d’excellente qualité et je n’ai pas trouvé moins cher ailleurs pour une qualité équivalente.

Good price, everything you need to begin

Chriscrev 19.12.2022

The four pots are the same so there's no distinction between tone and volume, they are all linear and not particularly great, but not bad either. Instructions could be more clear, I ended up using another wiring diagram I found at the internet. Cable is nice and shielded and of good length. Come with both black and cream pickup selector tip.

Great Kit for Beginners

pH3ra 02.02.2024

I bought it to change the wiring from an old Epiphone Les Paul. It was my first attempt at doing this kind of job and I'm really happy with the result: the difference in tone quality is evident and it feels like I'm turning the knobs of a real guitar now, instead of a toy like before.
The kit came with its own schematics that are pretty much idiot-proof, so I didn't have to look for them online.
10/10 would buy it again without second thought.
