This kit consists of a capacitor and a resistor, which are wired in parallel across two of the lugs on the volume pot in order to prevent treble loss as the volume control is rolled down. The values are 680pF/220K (single coils) and 1000pF/220K (humbuckers). There is nothing special about these components, you can buy them from Radio Shack for 50 cents or less (we're guessing). We charge $2.60 because of the time it takes to order them, receive them into inventory, twist the leads together and cut to length, print labels, print/cut/fold instruction diagrams, and package the resulting kits/diagrams into little zip lock bags and label them. So you're not paying for the parts here, you're paying for the time it takes us to package them and the convenience of not having to track down the parts yourself.

We're telling you this so you don't think we're trying to rip you off. With the cost of gas being what it is (not to mention the value of your time), it's surely cheaper to purchase one of these from us and save your time and gas. On the other hand, if you want a dozen of them, it might be worth your while to stop by Radio Shack or similar and buy the components there, you'll definitely save a few bucks.

Outstanding
Who knew such a small change could make such a huge difference in responsiveness! 

Experiment: Grab your most expensive electric, plug it in, turn the guitar volume all the way up. Now, back off the volume a little bit at a time. By the time you hit "8" it's sounding dull and dead. This circuit restores the lost treble and makes the control more responsive. This modification should cost as much as a new set of pickups.

Great Little Mod
 I added this to my Telecaster and I Love It! I can now roll the volume without my highs getting muddy!! All 3 of the pickups are noiseless(Nashville) so I got the humbucker kit... I'm going to add one to my Strat ASAP! Give it a try...
