Pickguard V V G PG assemblies include grounded shielding and feature USA-made CTS pots and CRL switches. These PG assemblies are hand wired with care. You can specify 0.047 mF or 0.022 mF capacitors. A  0.047 mF cap has a larger capacity to remove treble frequencies from the guitar signal than a 0.022 mF cap. Small rotations (< 1/8 turn) of the tone pot when a 0.047 mF cap is installed makes very noticeable reduction in treble frequencies. The 0.022 mF cap has a smaller range and provides more sensitive control of the treble frequencies.
 
Tele PG Tele style PG (BWB shown) with the V V G CC-R pickup installed. The current design of the C C Rider pickup has an unslotted mild steel bar polepiece and may be ordered with either ceramic or AlNiCo bar magnets. The PG may be ordered as BWB, WBW, or single ply black bakelite. The AlNiCo-V bar magnets when installed give a more mellow, warm vintage tone. The ceramic magnets have higher output and add more edge and bite for a modern tone.
