Attention!!!! The speed of mail shipped from Boston is sometimes unpredictable.
The USPS is still experiencing added delays due to the Covid protocols. The efficiency of your state hub and local USPS plays a role as well.
95% of the time I ship the envelopes the day you order, but once the mail leaves my possession and into the hands of the post office, I have no control over how long it takes.
2 Quick Connect adapters for Gibson
(4 conductor+shield)
“5 wire” pcb control boards
This is the
(4 conductor+shield)
“5 wire” style
Quick Connect that Gibson started using in (around) 2012.
Made from 28 AWG 7 strand wire and is about 4 inches long.
Heat shrink tubing for all the wires is included, as well as 2 larger heat shrink tubes.
These are good for experimenting with pickup swaps.
You can use these connectors to connect pretty much any pickup from any company to a Gibson “5 wire” pcb control board.
Shielded 1 wire, 2 wire, 3 wire, 4 wire and 5 wire pickups will all work with these connectors.
Check out the
diagrams that I’ve included above for the basics.
Match the wires up color to color from the pickup to the
quick connect wires. The pickup shield bare wire goes to the dark blue quick connect wire.
Options
-If you want me to arrange the quick connect wires to match your pickup’s color code (so they line up color to color when soldering), I can do that for you.
On the Payment Page, j
ust leave a “message to Seller” note and
include the pickup brand and model/number.
The control board in “photo #3” is shown for example and is not included.
(obviously)
If there’s a problem of any kind, contact me, just be calm and courteous.  I’ll get back to you as soon as I can and I will always fix it and make it right.

Quick ’n Dirty Tips
(always use safety glasses when working with tools)
Even if you have an expensive stripper 😃, sometimes it can still be tricky to remove insulation without a nicking a wire.
When using strippers, j
ust use them to make the cut.
Then, pull the insulation off with your fingers.
Don’t use the strippers to yank the insulation off!
If you don’t have or don’t feel like buying wire strippers, here’s a couple of alternative stripping methods you might find helpful.
Method 1
Mark a straight line across all 5 wires with a marker
Hold a non serrated butter knife or razor blade upside down (or a similar piece of metal) with pliers
Heat the butter knife or non sharp side of the (razor blade) with a lighter or
mini/pen torch
Place one wire at a time on a flat surface
Put the hot “blade” on the marked line of the wire and
Spin (or twist) the wire under it while pushing the blade forward
There should be a perfect line melted around the insulation now
Pull the little bit of insulation off
You should be good to go
Method 2
Hold the wire in one hand
Run the part of the wire that you want to strip over the flame of a cigarette lighter for 1 second or less (yes, literally 1 second or less)
In a quick manner, pull the piece of insulation right off
You should be good to go
Practice these methods on some scrap wire first, then practice on the ends of the quick connect wire.
If you use these alternative stripping methods, it’s of your own free will and I’m not responsible for screw ups.
