Reviews

Emerson Blender Wired Kit
Per Jesse Duquette (Sweetwater rep) suggestion I went with the Emerson kit vs another brand. I am glad I did that. The kit is great and it was easy to install. I was a bit worry about soldering at first but like Jesse said to me: you will feel very accomplished and proud when you are done. Soldering took some practice but it is part or doing mods so I had to cross that bridge at some point.

Again, I love the sounds on my Strat … the blended pot works great. Totally happy with Jesse and the Emerson kit!!!

Great Mod for bigger tone
Great craftmanship. Mitch is a great guy really makes quality product. I added the blender kit to my Palir Stinger. Wow what a difference. Rolling in the bridge pickup while on the neck gave a fuller tone and vice versa while on the bridge. Highly recommended for useable tones.

Worth it.
Very nice product. Dropped it into a 1999 MIM Strat. Definitely helped things along. Also put Gen 4 Fender noiseless pickups in. Clean clear and louder.

CANT BELIEVE THE QUALITY
I will start this review with a shout out to Nate and all the folks that helped me out at Sweetwater! Thank you! A few weeks back I had ordered a Mojotone solderless wiring kit expecting two day shipping as it stated. Sadly I received an email later stating that they were currently out of stock. This is where I started biting my nails!! See I was ordering A wiring kit because two of the pots and the switch in my Strat had failed. It was now Friday mid day, and I had a big gig Saturday evening at an outreach event. I got ahold of Sweet water and expected to just be refunded for the out of stock item. I asked if there were any other "drop and go" wiring kits in stock. THANK GOD, the answer was yes. Nate said there was an Emerson Pre-wired Stratocaster harness, but only the blender mod option was available. At the time I knew nothing about blender mods or blender pots or any of that. At this point I was willing to try it. I informed Nate of the urgency of my package being delivered, and no questions asked he Overnighted it to me and I had it Saturday morning by 9:30 AM. I installed it immediately which I am running some custom shop Texas specials with this wiring kit. And in all honesty I don't think I have heard a better sounding Strat aside from an original 60s Strat. The blending feature is absolutely phenomenal. I am finally excited to use my bridge position. I would say the second biggest perk about this is the treble-bleed which lets a person utilize the whole dial on the volume pot without losing clarity. All in all these pots have absolutely phenomenal taper, everything is top-of-the-line in quality, and I love that Emerson uses cloth push back wire which is the same as the custom shop pick up wire. I truly believe all of these little things that Emerson does differently than others is what sets them apart. The only issue I'm having now is that I can't put my guitar down. Don't even get me started on the five way switch… When switching between pick up configurations you can just feel the quality of the switch. I truly can't say enough good things. If you're thinking about buying this and you're looking at the price tag thinking dang that's a lot of money… It is a lot of money… But I would do it again 10 times over. Stop thinking about it....BUY IT! Thanks again Sweetwater!!!

Total Tone Change
I went from dime pots to quarter and there was more than 15 cents difference.
It was hard to control gain and crunch with dimes from china.
Tone went from tinny small range to super warm large tonal range.
I had to look at the guitar to make sure there was no string difference.
My 3rd 5 way in three years. This one is made in the USA!!
