K7-Plus Goodbye-Soldering Harness

7 sounds for Stratocaster* (3 single coils -or- non splitting humbuckers in HSS/HSH configuration)

Use this ORDER CHANNEL only if you are buying a harness without pickups.  If you are ordering pickup(s) there is provision to include a harness (same price as displayed above) after you click the BUY button for your pickup(s).  Generally this combination will not increase the cost of shipping.

Accepts non-Kinman pickups also. (Screw-Down connector block accepts bare wires as well as Kinman Harness Plugs)

Soldering is eliminated 100% with this ingenious harness even when other pickups are connected.  Provides the optimum electrical environment which allows the pickups to develop their full sonic and feel potential.

The K7-Plus was introduced 2008, it comes with  7+ sound switching as standard.  The K7 pot is the lower control that, in conjunction with the 5 pos switch, gives you 7+ (parallel) combinations of the 3 pickups, the extra sounds being similar but different to the normal position 2/4 sounds by mixing bridge and neck pickups.  We think it's better than David Gilmour's mod which does it with a switch, our K7 control gradually blends for shades of the same sound. 

You can also get that much sought after Telecaster mid position funky sound by using the lower K7 Mix control in conjunction with a graduated set of pickups such as our Gilmour set.  Read our Blog article There's Quack and there's Cluck ... and there's other C words

Click this link for the K7 sound switching chart   The Tone control is a Master control that operates on all 3 pickups.  A mini-slide switch pre-selects which pickup (neck or bridge) is mixed to the output by the K7 control.  This is the additional feature that distinguishes the K7 Plus from the original K7.  Scroll down to see a picture of the K7 with it's 2 mini slide switches (on the upper edge).

The sounds of the K7 Harness are more suited to clean playing so by inference is best suited to the Traditional Mk-VI and non-aged Impersonator series set but will work equally well for all pickups that require a 250k volume pot.  For distortion and overdrive choose the K9 Harness with the fat and gutsy series connections.

There are 2 tone capacitors that can be selected by a second mini slide switch mounted on the harness.  Slide one direction to get Kinman's High Definition tone control or slide the opposite direction to get a regular tone control if you want normal extreme treble cut.

The volume pot has the famous Kinman treble bypass filter (aka treble bleed) so you won't lose highs when you turn the volume down.  The Tone pot and the K7 mix pot are 500k No-Load type (without center detent) and the Volume pot is normally 250k but can be supplied as 500k or our dual resistive load device (250k and 500k) for mixing humbucker or P-90's with Strat pickups.

Kill switches can easily connect without soldering.  Get your Kill switch here

When ordering any Kinman Stratocaster harness with or for a Converge-3 splitting humbucker we replace one of the existing controls with the Converge-3 splitting control, and the rotary part can be configured as a Volume control, a Tone control or a K7 Mix control while the Push switch splits the coils.  And you get to choose which control is replaced so please state your preference in the Order Notes.

Another unique feature is the pots are user replaceable without soldering (in the rare event one needs to be replaced).

Shipped with pots set to normal torque but convert easily to Easy Turn pots (right hand only) for easy finger rolling (violinning), the Install Guide shows how.  The Tone pot is the No-load type (without detent).  The Volume pot for Strat pickups actually measures 250K+.
