FAQs
- I don’t see the exact kit I’m looking for? We will be adding more kits in the future, but this is what we have at the moment. You can purchase parts a la carte on our Parts & Accessories page.
- Can you omit items I don’t need for a lower price? As it turns out, no. Our kits are designed to “grab and ship.”
- Can you wire something for me? No. These are simply parts kits. The Blender Pot is prepped, but not wired to the switch. If you want something pre-wired, check out our Prewired Pickguards and Telecaster Control Plates.

This parts kit was second to none. I’ve had several parts from all kinds of places and this wiring kit nailed it for my strat. I absolutely love Lindy’s pickups, knowledge, support staff and products. You guys rock and I couldn’t be happier with my decision!
-
Good price, industry-standard quality. Trad stuff intact, like the clink of the stout spring on the 5-way, and and long cloth push-back wires.
-
Got your wiring kit over the weekend and wired up an old set of your Vintage Hot Strats into my 86 MIJ fender and it came ALIVE! Please send Lindy my best, he’s the man!
-
The parts kit I bought was good quality, smooth solid pots, quality Switch. Cloth covered was nice (better that the plastic covered wire the melts or shrinks when soldered, input jack just ok. I like the bonus caps to experiment with thanks. The price was right 😉
-
This is a great kit and the blender pot pretty much instantly transformed my 80s model Strat into a Telecaster. I love the design. The only thing I would change is in the diagram. The diagram I downloaded did not have the blender pot and tone pot grounded to the volume – which was necessary in my case. Fralin staff were extremely helpful not only in helping me get the right parts but helping me troubleshoot the grounding issue that I initially had. The kit, however, does not come with a plastic tip for the selector switch, which would be (I think) an easy fix for the website: to allow the buyer to select what color tip they would like to use with the kit as I found that a standard tip was too small for the selector switch. I called and they sent me one in the mail! Easy fix. Thanks guys!

Get These With Your Pickups
After trying the Strat parts set with my Fralin Strat pickups, guy I had install them said they were the best pots & switches he’s seen, better than Fender stock. Same thing with the Tele set. Fralin is the king of quality!
-
AWESOME! This kit has everything you need and then some everything is high quality and the customer service is incredible
-
Very cool. You suggested putting my out-of-phase pup in the neck position, but I’d already wound one for the neck, so I wound the bridge ccl. I didn’t realize with the switch in the 2 and 4 positions I would have all three pups working. I over-wound the middle pup. I don’t like it. It’s waxed, but I think I can still strip some coils off, right? I thought the diagram seemed odd using one side of the switch, but it was quick and simple and everything works. So, thanks for your help and advice.

Nashville Tele
These pickups are phenomenal. All the twang you could ask for. Can play throaty, bell-like tones to snarly bluest tomes. I absolutely love them. Not completely sold on the magic cap. It pretty much kills the tone knob, but with these pickups, you don’t really need a tone knob anyway.

Fantastic upgrade !!
I have a MIJ Foto Flame Telecaster that is one of my best guitars, I have owned it for about 25 years. It has always been one of my best sounding guitars and plays and feels just right. I realized recently that the pots, switch & electrical components were fairly cheap on these MIJ models and I contemplated for quite a while whether to mess with a good thing. WOW, am I pleased I did. These parts turned this guitar into a total tone monster !! I honestly could not believe the difference. I did end up using a 022 Orange drop cap but I tried all the caps that came with the kit and they were awesome but not as wide-ranging as I would have liked. The Magic Cap is amazing I think if you were just a lead player but I am a Rhythm Guitarist. You can not go wrong with this kit and it is a bargain to boot!!

All I needed, with one caveat
So this kit was pretty handy to have everything I needed in one place. I only had one problem, which is that the potentiometers were just a little to big to fit in the control cavity, leading to me tracking down and ordering a set of equivalent mini potentiometers. I think that’s more of a fault of the guitar’s construction than of Fralin though.

Stratocaster standard wiring kit
The 5-way switch, tone, and volume pots are top quality and they work and sound great, I have 6 other Strats that I will install this kit on.
-
High-Quality set!
-
Good stuff!
Great parts kit to put together my blender pot Strat rebuild. Plenty of wire, pots, and switches were top notch and I liked the capacitor choices even though I went with the standard 047 (for now).
With the on-site wiring diagrams, the installation was a breeze – couldn’t be happier! -
My guitar guy, Scott Campbell, put the blender pot in with no problems and it sounds amazing! You can really hear the wide range of tone options with the bridge and neck pickups blended together.
-
Top notch!!!
Really broadens the range of available tones!
