Hello and welcome. Sorry I can't help with a recommendation, but I did notice recently that there are ebay sellers making the more usual 2V,2T. Might be worth dropping them a line and seeing if anyone will build you one. Search on epiphone harness and a few come up.

I've spoken to someone off ebay this morning about an upgraded harness in my cherry dot studio! The seller is Owen.d.davis, he's U.K. based, if your not I'm sure you can find someone the same way!

 

Also worth talking to Clive down at UnsungHeroGuitars in Devon (clive@unsungheroguitars.com - he makes some really nice harnesses for Epiphones at good prices.

Have you searched for you tube videos or other instructional web sites to refer to ? Everyone is out to make a buck or 3 . If you have the skills and patience as well as wire clippers, solder and a soldering iron, you might try laying out the harness and components and making one or 2 yourself. Probably the most cost effective alternative to a "custom made" thing. The several guitar guys/shops around here charge $60-$70 an hour to "work" on guitarsdry.gif

For a buck75+ I'm sure going to learn how to solder real quick,I'll be making my own harness from now on.

I've got junk harnesses to practice on,although I like to uninstall/install string up and go.Thanks for the reply.

Yeah, go with Jonsey. Very reasonable and he'll build you a harness any way you need it built.
