Emerson T3-Thinline Telecaster 250k 3-Way Prewired Kit

The 3-Way Thinline Telecaster Prewired Kit is a premium, handwired wiring solution built specifically for Thinline Telecasters with pickguard-mounted controls. Assembled by hand in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma (USA), this kit delivers reliability, vintage-correct tone, and clean, professional wiring—ready to drop straight into your guitar.

Unlike standard Telecaster wiring kits, this version is purpose-built for Thinline spacing, where the controls are mounted to the pickguard rather than a metal control plate. Careful attention to spacing ensures proper fit, smooth installation, and long-term durability.

If your Thinline Telecaster uses the standard 2.00" centre-to-centre spacing between controls, this kit will install perfectly. For slightly tighter spacing, the flexible Teflon-coated buss wire can be gently curved to accommodate shorter distances without compromising performance.
