Up for sale at Gordy's Music is an all-original vintage 1966 Gibson single-pickup wiring harness segment. This clean, loose assembly was saved intact with its factory yellow-insulated lead wire and is the perfect premium electronic backbone for your next mid-to-late '60s Gibson golden-era restoration.

Harness Components & Details:

• Potentiometers: Two matching 500K Audio Taper (AT) pots. The source codes are crisp, clean, and completely legible, reading 1376626—dating them precisely to the 26th week of 1966 by CTS. Stamped on the sides is the historic Gibson factory part number (BA11-1118 series). They feature medium-length threaded bushings ideal for pickguard mounting or thin wood tops.
• Capacitor: Original 1960s Sprague 160P "Black Beauty" molded Mylar film tone capacitor. It features the highly desirable, definitive Gibson spec of .022 µF at 400V DC. The casing is exceptionally clean with no swelling or cracking, and the red text print is sharp and legible.
• Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The components are securely linked by their original yellow sleeve wiring. Solder joints are clean, authentic, and untouched on the component lugs.

This is a highly versatile, turn-key matching set of components to bring a vintage Gibson Melody Maker, ES-125, ES-120T, or single-pickup archtop project back to 100% period-correct factory specifications. Please see photos for cosmetic details and date code verification.

NOTE: Too cool. Late last summer we shipped a 1967 MapleGlo Rickenbacker 6-12 Converter 'comb' guitar to Billy Corigan of Smashing Pumpkins! We also then shipped a vintage 50 watt Marshall head to L.A. studio-touring guitarist extraodinaire, Michael Landau, and 2 vintage guitars to Jack White's organization down in Nashville just a few days before his 50th. birthday! mmm? Add 'The Kentucky Head Hunters' to the list, just sold Greg a cool little 50's Valco tube combo amp!

Gordy's Music has become a Detroit institution! Our shop was used as a filming location for a few films like "Miracle in Motor City" a Christmas movie on Lifetime (featuring Smoky Robinson). We've supplied gear for movies including "Bill & Ted Face The Music" with Keanu Reeves. We've got decades of celebrity customers, including recent visits from Beck, Eric Johnson, and we recently sold Billy Joel's bassist a cool Gibson SG he is in love with. One day a while back Andre 3000 and his group stopped in to browse as they were playing Masonic Temple that night and right after that we sold an old oil can Morley Wah Vibrato pedal to Credence Clearwater Revival's thee John Fogerty!

We are having and have had a lot of fun here at Gordy's Music! I was just remembering about 35 years ago a tour bus pulled up to our little shop, and who rolls right in and hangs out for an hour? Lenny Kravitz and his entire group, right about the same time I was selling many guitars to and chauffeuring around Dee Dee Ramone who had an apartment a block down from my house.
