That's not a bad idea actually.

I’d just replace it all, non-harness if it were mine. You’re probably looking at about $30 in parts and a little bit of your time.
Great score btw!
Excuse my ignorance. What do you mean non-harness? Buy the pots and wire separately etc and DIY it?

So after not so careful consideration, I think I'm going to restore her back to her former glory. I see a load of cheap wiring harnesses around. Has anybody used them? Are they cheap for a reason? I suppose I could buy the harness and then replace the pots with CTS or whatever. I'm pretty handy with a soldering iron but I'm wondering if the actual wires are cheap junk as well or is pickup wire just pickup wire no matter where it comes from?

Do you know what pickup models are inside the guitar?  Maybe we can compare the outputs

The neck is a pretty sweet sounding pup. The bridge is quite low output. It measures about 8k on my meter. It's an original ESP bridge lh-211 according to the research I've done and it looks like a standard bridge bucker. Pretty weedy sounding IMHO. Its a sweet axe that just needs a bit more balls. Unplugged I would say it needs some low end and some scream.

So it's running through an original 5150, Marshall 4x12 drop C#. Heavy rock/metal. I've had a mahogany San Dimas Charvel for years that I love but never really used alder and this sounds a bit thin. I've gone through every Seymour Duncan and a few DMZs over the years but I feel this ESP (that I've just acquired) needs a Dimarzio.

I'm needing a chunky screamer for an alder 1989 ESP with a maple neck and rosewood board. I'm feeling an EVO 2 or maybe a good old SD. What are you guys thinking. What about a Crunch Lab? Your thoughts and opinions are most welcome.
