2012 Fender Custom Shop ’60s Duo Tone Telecaster Wiring Harness — Original Dark Circuit
’60s Duo Tone Telecaster Relic Wiring Harness, vintage-spec featuring the “dark circuit” neck position associated with early Telecasters.
The dark circuit routes the neck pickup through a dedicated capacitor, producing the distinctly warm, rolled-off and bass-heavy neck tone found on early Tele wiring schemes. Rather than being a modern recreation of the circuit, this is the actual factory Custom Shop harness, retaining the period-correct wiring configuration and components used in the 2012 Duo Tones.
The harness features original Fender Custom Shop relic hardware throughout, including potentiometers dating to the 48th week of 2011, along with the original Daka-Ware Top Hat Bakelite-style selector tip. A great piece for anyone looking to retain the correct electronics and vintage wiring character of a 2012 Eldred-era Custom Shop Telecaster.
Harness Details:
