Stellartone Custom Guitar Electronics<\/h1>\n

ToneStyler Custom Tone Controls<\/h1>\n

Designed for easy, drop-in replacement of any standard tone pot with a 3\/8″ diameter USA bushing; no modifications or routing required. Stellartone’s premium-quality musical instrument rotary tone switches are custom-made by Grayhill USA. Switches are mil-spec, sealed, moisture-proof, shockproof, RFI shielded, and feature gold-plated terminals & shorting contacts for the lowest resistance & most quiet switching possible.\u00a0 Average life expectancy exceeds 100,000 operation cycles. Available with solid-shaft and split-shaft tips, and in four EQ voicing ranges:\u00a0 MID-RANGE, GUITAR, BASS, and SUB BASS.<\/p>\n

We use C0G Class A miniature ceramic capacitors of mil-spec quality, which are non-microphonic, sealed, and shockproof.\u00a0 Our premium-grade, low-loss ESV (equivalent series resistance) ceramic capacitors are the best-performing and most-stable type of miniature audio capacitor available, producing the smoothest & most-desirable audio filtering qualities; these are the perfect choice for compact guitar tone control use.\u00a0 Used commercially in virtually all guitars and basses since 1959, ceramic capacitors replaced the oversized, high-voltage paper & foil types formerly-used in radios, televisions and amplifiers.<\/p>\n\t\u2022 Mounting bushing diameter:\u00a0 3\/8″-32 [U.S.A. standard diameter – mounts through 3\/8″ diameter hole (9.5mm)]
\n\u2022 Does NOT FIT through an 8mm metric pot hole, i.e. Epiphone; before installation, drill metric holes out to 3\/8″ (9.5mm)
\n\u2022 Solid-shaft tip:\u00a0 5\/16″ (8mm) length x 3\/8″-32 threaded bushing fits surfaces up to 3\/16″ thick.\u00a0 Mil-spec stainless steel tip with “D” flat for USA set-screw knobs: 0.25″ dia. x 0.375″ tall. NOT FOR\u00a0 6mm hole metric set-screw knobs (use the smaller split-shaft tip)
\n\u2022 Split-shaft tip:\u00a0 1\/2″ (12.7mm) length x 3\/8″-32 threaded bushing fits surfaces up to 3\/8″ thick.\u00a0 0.262″ tall x 0.232″ diameter split-shaft tip with 24-fine-splines for U.S.A. push-on knobs, and 6mm hole metric set-screw knobs; for 1\/4″ hole U.S.A. set-screw knobs, add the supplied 1\/4″ brass sleeve
\n\u2022 24-fine-spline split-shaft tip DOES NOT FIT 18-coarse-spline molded acrylic push-on metric knobs, i.e. Epiphone; swap out an Epi knob with the matching Gibson USA knob
\n\u2022 Compact .875″ \/ 22.2mm (+\/-\u00a0 .02″\/.5mm) round footprint is slightly-smaller than a standard 15\/16″ (24mm) full-sized CTS potentiometer
\n\u2022 Low-profile metalized polymer module requires a minimum of 0.8125″ \/ 20.6mm (+\/-\u00a0 .02″\/.5mm) depth inside the instrument’s control compartment\n\t

Custom-made and non-standard instruments<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you have a unique or unusual instrument?\u00a0 Does it have “mini-pots”, or a shallow, tiny control compartment?\u00a0 Before purchase, verify your instrument’s control cavity clearances.\u00a0 The thickness of the mounting surface, and the desired knob height, also affects how much “air space” will be required inside the instrument.\u00a0 A ToneStyler LONG shaft B-10-L, X-L, G-10-L or S-10-L\u00a0 installation through a thin plastic pickguard<\/strong> calls for 1.16″ \/\u00a0 29.5mm of air space inside the guitar or bass; ~3\/16″ less air space is needed to fit the smaller ToneStyler SHORT B-10-S, X-S, G-10-S and S-10-S models.\u00a0 When a ToneStyler LONG is installed through a 3\/8″ thick<\/strong> solid wood surface… or a ToneStyler SHORT is installed through a 3\/16″ thin<\/strong> wood surface… only 0.85″ \/ 21.6mm of air space is required inside the guitar or bass.<\/em><\/p>\nClick here for printer-ready PDF<\/a>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
