Rewiring a Gibson ES-335TD

Not as difficult as some make it out to be, but you have to plan carefully, make solid connections, test before and after putting it into the guitar, and not hurt the finish.

Doh! I really thought we were going to see the really 'fun' part. 'Threading the needle' on a 335 is the bit that concerned citizens are interested in. However, really neat job and great advice - as always. 👍😀

I was really hoping for a revelation on getting the components into place lol. It’s always fun getting everything fished through.

[@mattjohnson6916]

That is sheer artistry at work!

Really great to hear you identify how important a quality volume pot is to the guitar's overall performance.

I just bought a Gibson ES-333, which is essentially the 335 design with back access cover. Produced from 2002-2005. I'd felt deterred from test swapping semi-hollow's pickups for too long. Now its an easy 15 minutes.

Super job!!

Great video. I rewired my Gibson Barney Kessel a few years ago. It did not go smoothly….. hopefully this video saves some headaches….

[@icedog75]

That's really clean....is there a schematic that you can provide? I'd like to try that arrangement on my 60's Univox.

Real. Great to see some honesty in the sea of snake oil. This was also super helpful for me. I'm gonna use this to rewire my hofner 339 soon!

I would have been interested to see how you made (soldered) the connection to the pickup leads from the harness setup. Thanks. Bob

Your wiring/dressing looks great however I am just not a fan of having the capacitors wired on the tone pots that way.

PsionicAudio, just curious have you ever tried the CTS TAOT Custom 525K Potentiometers, Audio Taper - 5% Tolerance - 500K-550K? If yes, how would you rate them compared to the RS Guitarworks you are using here? Thanks

[@christophermarsteller8235]

what value are the panasonics? .022? Sorry, not very knowledgable about wiring or capacitors? i want to upgrade my casino. trying to decide whether or not to use .015 or .022 on the neck? thanks! I always enjoy all of your videos!

[@mattjohnson6916]

What type of white insulated wire is that?

[@Mpcoluv]

Is this modern or 50s wiring scheme?

Oops, you skipped over the only hard part
