Welcome

Rick was great to work with-super knowledgeable and friendly. He was enthusiastic and helpful with my project to upgrade an import T-style guitar. It had a decent neck and body but substandard electronics and wiring. Rick's component quality is fantastic and the attention to detail on the install was impressive. He made my budget tele upgrade feel like it was just as important as a vintage or a custom shop job.

Super impressed!! I ordered a reverse control Tele harness to replace standard wiring as I want to play guitar instead of learning electronics. Rick built it from scratch and had it to me in the mail within only a few days of the initial order, fantastic!! It came in a pedal box with bubble packing plus the pedal box was within a mailing box with more packing; so nicely exceeding expectations there. The soldering and wiring placement were extremely neat and tidy to fit in the tight cavity space of the telecaster. The wire lengths were just perfect making for a very neat and tidy control cavity. It came with a wiring diagram and Rick even tagged the leads to identify that where to solder my pickups wires, which was super helpful. I had the whole thing installed in an hour but that included assemble as I did not order the whole control plate, and I'm an amateur when it comes to soldering so I took my time. I'll be ordering more from StayTuned in the near future. Thanks so much Rick!!

I’m still pretty excited about choosing your Jimmy page style pcb replacement.  For instance, I think your volume controls work more effectively, it feels like I retain more usable tone when I roll down the volume.  Also I’m not sure why, but I feel like your single function just sounds more single lol.  Overall, the whole unit looks really tidy, you do really clean work. I really appreciate all of the help and information you provided as well, you provide really great customer service.  I hope to see more cool stuff from your shop in the future.  Thank you!!!

I've lost count of how many guitars Rick has installed wiring harness for, he's my go-to guy for guitar electronics. He is meticulous and stands by his work, and is up for a challenge when I bring non-standard wiring schemes to him. I highly recommend StayTuned Custom Shop!

It's all wired up and it works awesome! Everything fits, and the wiring process was painless with your email and diagram. I've had A LOT of different pickups and wiring schemes in this guitar over the years, and it's honestly never sounded better, had less noise and done exactly what I want it to more than today. Thank you for getting me there!  Will be in touch soon about the [next] project.

I have bought 2 different harnesses from StayTuned Custom Shop and I must say the attention to detail and the quality of workmanship on these harnesses is impeccable. I generally do all of my own work and repairs when it comes to my instruments and I do know my way around a soldering iron , but honestly, the workmanship and the good value of these StayTuned Custom Shop harnesses is so good that it doesn’t make sense for me to build my own anymore.

Ordered a custom harness for an old Squier MIJ (Volume, blend and tone). I have to say I'm quite impressed with the the results. Quality parts, very precise and clean work, fast turn around time and overall great customer service. Highly recommended.

I had a custom wiring harness made for an ESP LTD EC-1000 Gold Top. Rick was so easy to work with and had many great suggestions. The end product was perfect. The harness was very well built and the instructions were easy to follow. I highly recommend StayTuned!

Great customer service . A great overall experience . I would highly recommend Rick . He knows lots about all the guitar gear. And I am enjoying my custom Sheraton guitar.
Thanks Rick

I ordered the Oak- Grisby 4-way Telecaster harness to replace the original wiring in my Japanese telecaster. It has made a night and day difference in the guitar. The harness is made with great parts and attention to detail. It looks, feels and sounds great. The 4-way switch with series/parallel gives some great new tonal options over the standard wiring. To top it off the customer service was way above and beyond expectations. In the future when I need new wiring for a guitar StayTuned Custom Shop will absolutely be my choice.

Got the harness – here are my thoughts about the harness and experience installing it.

1. Ordering was very easy and the communication from Rick was great – he got the harness delivered quickly. Harness workmanship – outstanding. All connections were excellent – soldering perfect.

2. Instructions supporting the Harness – Spot on – well written, easy to follow.

3. Installation – first time I’ve ever put a new harness in a semi hollow body – it was a little challenging, however, with a little patience, it was surprisingly simple..

4. Push/Pull feature on the pots worked perfectly – these pots are sturdy and have a reassuring click when you pull or push.

The sound of the Seymour Duncan Seth Lover’s PAFs coupled with the new harness from StayTuned Custom Shop is an excellent upgrade. I actually have a usable volume and tone now. The clarity, fullness and general over-all sound is far superior to the Epihone pickups.

Thank you for your excellent support Rick - my guitar sounds very good, very quiet and I’m completely happy.

Just finished my short scale pbass. Fender hardware and pickups. Wiring by Rick at Staytuned. Second build using his wiring. First class workmanship and service. Thanks Bret

The harness that StayTuned provided me with was of high quality in every sense of the words. Components and construction were both on point and Rick's soldering joints are perfect. Customer service was also excellent and the guitar turned out amazing. Purchase w confidence!

Hey Rick! I finally have the jazzmaster up and running. She plays and sounds so amazing. That old school chime she sings! Thanks again for the harness, I absolutely love the way it sounds, thanks so much.

Just rebuilt my 90’s Warmoth Tele. New vintage USA hardware. 51 Nocaster pickups by Soultone pickups. Wiring by Staytuned Custom Shop. Tele plays fantastic. Old school sound. Definitely use Staytuned wiring on my next build! Thanks again Bret

Hi Rick,

I've installed the modded board in my LP and I have to say it's a definite change for the better. Playing through an overdrive or otherwise distorted amp it used to clean up if the volume knobs were turned down to about seven, and it basically went from dirty to clean then to dark and muddy and there wasn't really much range in the over-driven sound. Now when the volume is lowered it puts out various, decreasing levels of distortion and completely cleans up at around three or four, with no muddiness at all. The volume controls have much more usable ranges now and appear to enhance the tone controls. It can produce some pretty pleasing vintage jazz tones and I can even get some pretty convincing early live Clapton tones from it, neither of which it could produce before. At least not with me at the controls. Awesome, that's just what I have wanted it to sound like since I bought it.

Overall I'm really impressed. I wasn't too sure what to expect and I received more than I anticipated.

Thank you once again Rick.

Rick, this thing sounds great!! Tone controls actually affect the tone, volumes are useable with some range instead of just muddy. The split coils sound pretty good too. Thank you so much for the work & learnings. Dave

“Thanks Rick, I found you on Kijiji and what a great find you turned out to be! You deliver an exceptional product, excellent components, your assembly is spot on for fit and quality, and your soldering is perfect. Excellent communication with simple to-the-point guidance on installing your harness. This was my first attempt at upgrading components on a guitar. An Epiphone Les Paul jr, going from a humbucker to a Gibson P94 (A P90 sized to a humbucker cavity) the install could not have been easier, your harness nearly fell into place a couple of simple soldering points and we were done. What a difference, I'm thrilled with the results. Thanks Rick. I didn't think a wiring harness could make this big a difference! Will use your services on my next project.”

Thanks Rick! Rick built me a new wiring harness for my telecaster, no more buzz or unwanted noise. The parts are high quality and the workmanship was spot on and the price was more than fair. Rick also helped me with all sorts of tips and advice for installing the harness myself which was greatly appreciated, most companies sell the product and nothing more. Rick went the extra nine yards and was a pleasure to correspond with. I will definitely purchase from him in the future when I decide to upgrade my other guitar. Thanks again Rick.

Thanks Rick - awesome new harness and internal shielding job on my MIM Precision Bass! No more buzz - I can approach the audience in full stealth mode now. Excellent soldering and quality parts! Only a few hours from drop off to ready for pick up and a very fair price! Much appreciated - I'm looking at my J-bass now and wondering if she might like a make-over, too... Thanks again, Mark

“Rick did an amazing job with my custom build. It was a complicated wiring but it was no problem for him. Rick went above and beyond to solve several logistical problems we had. I would highly recommend his services. Great soldering techniques and his harnesses are meticulous and well laid out. Thank you Rick.”

“Hey Rick, I just ripped home cause I couldn’t wait to play it. I plugged it into a little Vox practice amp I have, and even through that it sounds killer. The volume and clarity that was lost is back. It sounds full and has the growl that it was missing back.”

“Got it all set up now and wow. The difference between stock and a StayTuned wiring kit is amazing. The 4 way switch feels smooth and the the fourth position is a powerful sound. Also the treble bleed is an amazing upgrade not losing treble tone as you decrease volume. Wow. Thank you so much I’m excited to start my next project soon.”
