Prewired Telecaster Thinline ’72 Pickguard FAQ's
General FAQs
Here are quick answers to common questions we get:
-
Which Tone Cap do I select?
We always recommend 0.022mfd as the Tone Cap value. A larger capacitance value means more roll-off, a lower capacitance value means less roll-off.
-
Can I return this pickguard?
No – all pickguards are built to order, and are non-returnable.
-
Can you coil-split the Wide Range humbuckers?
While it’s possible, we don’t recommend it. There are two main reasons why:
- The Wide Range Humbucker consists of two low-wind coils. These coils by themselves don’t produce a usable output.
- Half of the Coil’s magnets are under the cover, without the ability to adjust them easily. This will yield an unbalanced tone.

Customer Reviews
1 review for Prewired Telecaster Thinline ’72 Pickguard
-
The pickups sound great, but the prewired pickguard came with the wiring to the control switch reversed (with selector to the right, neck p/u was engaged, with selector to the left, neck pickup was engaged). So I had to re-solder the leads. Surprised at the poor quality-control here. Also, the p/u height adjustment screws were too long for my mexican-made thinline tele and I had to clip a good 1/8″ off of them.
