Description:
This adapter will allow you to make connection from your aftermarket pickup to your Gibson QuickConnect board. The
screw terminal provides a secure connection once tightened down with a small flat head screwdriver. The cable is long enough to hide the connector PCB in the routed channel out of sight. Wires are 10% heavier gauge than stock Gibson. Pick-up setup is 5 wires (4 coil leads and GND). The outermost Black wire is Ground.
The adapter has holes in the PCB to route the Pickup wires, or alternatively 2 large holes for zip tie use to assure you can secure the wires mechanically.
Typically you want to get rid of the stock pickups and replace them with - say Seymor Duncans or other quality pickups. Replacement pickups typically do not come with connectors, but are left with stripped wires for the end user to connect to his/her setup. With these connectors you can connect directly to the stock connector on the PCB in the guitar, making perfect connections. This way you can still swap out the pickups if you want to try out different combinations of pickups.
These connectors will fit other Gibson guitars using the 5 pin connector type found on the newer models like the Les Paul and SG type. Please do your own research to verify compatibility. If in doubt you are welcome to contact me and I will do my best to advise you.
Included are:
- Two Screw terminal Solderless Adapters for Gibson Super Narrow type
- Screw driver of the correct size to get the job done
- Instruction sheet with color coding reference chart for most used pick-up brands
SUGGESTED PROCESS:
Just Insert wires from Pickup in terminal posts and tighten down It doesn't get any easier than this.
- Pay attention that wires are FULLY inserted and that no bare wire portion protrudes from each screw terminal
- Fold wires alongside connector, use holes in PCB for wires or a small zip-tie strap.
- Insulate back of adapter to avoid shorting of wires.
As setups vary from one guitar setup to another
the kit is supplied for you to assemble in the order you prefer.
Note - control board and pickup cables used to illustrate the use of the adapter are not included. Ask if in doubt.
