At Emerson Custom, each day Mitch and his team set out to beat your expectations. Mediocre results and sound simply won’t cut it for them. Everything that is crafted at Emerson, has their heart and soul put into it. So when you unbox your hard-earned products, you instantly feel the quality and old school craftsmanship Emerson Custom is known for worldwide.
Carefully wired to “50’s Style” specifications and grounded with vintage spec buss wire for a great vintage tone.
The team at Emerson Custom take great pride in using premium components that both operate & sound better than stock electronics found in your guitar. Emerson pots are hand metered and matched for great consistency with even taper on both the volume and tone knob. Giving far better control when rolling down the volume knob… no more mud.
We’re constantly dreaming, tinkering, testing and building to create unique hand made prewired kits for guitar and bass that inspire sonic creativity.

Marty Forrer8 April 2024I purchased TI Jazz Flats and prewired Jazz control plate from Tone Merchants. Excellent products and excellent service.
Olivier Holland19 March 2024Fantastic shop stocking some top notch gear, most notably Genzler amps! Massive 'thumbs up' and recommendations!
Matt Harvey14 March 2024Legendary. Great advice from Brad regarding modding options aswell as a wicked service in the explanation as to what each can do for your tone. The concentric knob control plate was simple to install, looks amazing on the US Fender and with the series/parallel switches my tone control is spot on. A slick and stylish vintage look and an even better sounding jazz bass.
Seamus Jolly14 March 2024Fantastic service, and what a bass! Highly recommend these guys. Thanks again Brad
