" I have Hyperion Tone "Solder-Free Deluxe Harnesses" in multiple high-end LPs and Strats including Yaron, Collector's Choice, WW10, and Cruz MB and in each case the harnesses quality and Joseph's guidance in capacitor selection have opened up and improved the tone as well as provided a whole new array of flexibility. I tell him all the time (with credit to Frank Zappa), "it's like Christmas every day" and it puts a big grin on my face when I can swap PUs in minutes with no solder and get everything I've always wanted out of my pickups and guitars! Finally, no more "what ifs" or wondering. I've got my solution and will be installing these harnesses in ALL my guitars going forward. Thanks, Joseph!!"
"I never even entertained the notion that the components inside my '61 SG reissue weren't excellent, until I opened it up to have a look.
What I found inside was disheartening: run-of-the-mill pots and tiny film caps that struck me as hardly capable of making any significant contribution to the shaping of this otherwise lovely instrument's tone.
Once I swapped in some new pots and some beefier -- and gorgeous -- NOS caps from Hyperion, the difference was profound: effortless and transparent sustain, smooth and buttery chords, and gorgeous tone roll off.
From now on, any new guitar I buy will instantly get the Hyperion treatment. Any system is only as strong as its weakest link, and with Hyperion components, you're essentially guaranteed to start the chain off right and most likely breathe new life into your entire rig.
This stuff is an absolute must for any electrical guitarist, irrespective of skill level or experience. A million thanks to Hyperion for such outstanding equipment."
"Hi Joseph,
Just quick note. Got around to installing new harness & Ellis pickups...sounds absolutely fantastic! Great work.
Thanks again."
"Buy with confidence here! I bought two harness' from Tonebander and they are nothing short of outstanding. He knows his stuff and can help you get the best out of your guitar and pickups. All my future pot/harness/cap business will be here."
"I got 'em in the guitar......KIIIIIILER.
VERY expressive- exactly what I needed! I wanted to drop a line and let you know it worked out great and I love them. I'll be back!
Thanks"
"Hey fuzz, the wiring setup you sold me sounds great paired with a 60s p90 from wraptail. I have a new #1 and all the guts came from here on the venders section. Thanks again. Ttt"
"Just installed my third wiring harness from Tonebender and couldn't be happier with the results. Two teles and a LP now sound better than ever. These harnesses are the s**t."
"HAPPY TONEBENDER CUSTOMER!-----I've been trying to find the magic combination of usable volume and tone controls that work as they should throughout the entire sweep of the pots in my R7. That quest has led me to other pre wired kits with Jensen caps which I wasn't happy with, tried resistors across the volume lugs which preserved the fidelity when rolling back the volume, but screwed up the tone controls to where 2 and 10 sounded the same and really made the rolled off tones almost too bright.
Long quest ended with Tonebenders Vitamin Qs. I had him pre wire it to '57 spec with CTS 500K pots and used a .022 in the bridge and .015 in the neck. In short rolling off the volume maintains an even tone to the full up tone and the tone controls are usable across the entire sweep as well. I obviously couldn't A/B with previous setups, but the tones are extremely musical, open and sweet sounding.
Highly recommended as a very economical upgrade!!"
"I have Vitamin Q .02uFs in both my Historic Les Pauls. These caps sound "right" to my ears and have made the tone control usable throughout the entire range."
"Thanks for the Vitamin Q's. I use a Les Paul into a Deluxe Reverb (BF). I have tried several caps in my search for the ultimate "open sweetness" in my tone. The previous Hovlands sounded very, very good, but the Spragues gave me what I was looking for and enhance the quack in my PAF's. Thanks and I will be saving your email address for future use.

"I threw a Vit Q into my Fender Custom Shop Nocaster, the thing is amazing! A world of difference between a regula rold modern one and going with the real deal old timer. It fattened and sweetened up the tone amazingly. My repair guy, who by the way is a new school fella, was even blown away at the tonal difference. People often dismiss caps as an integral part of tone and they are simply wrong:>)
I also got one that is being put in my new custom strat, can't wait!
Thanks,

"Wow...got the caps today in world record time...put two in my R8 and this is really the first time I've put tone caps in my guitar and noticed a huge difference with the tone control on ten...my guitar sounds clearer and punchier plus my tone control is usuable throughout its whole range...
the other two will be going in my 335 on Sunday...
thanx again for doing that...
Regards,
Stewart"
