jaygl Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Hey all, I want to swap out the PCB in my 2014 LP Classic for one with a tone control instead of the boost. The seller of this one says it does not have the push/pull volumes, and I don't care to keep the coil split function anyway. Will this one be compatable and work? http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Gibson-Les-Paul-Wiring-Harness-Board-/131483593137? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaygl Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 If I decide to gut it and go for traditional wiring, can anyone tell me if I need short or long shaft pots? I'm thinking long shaft, but am not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capmaster Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Long shaft pots for LPs, but I'm not sure about contact compatibility. By the way, I would insist on keeping the split option. It's of higher importance to me than separate tone controls or looks. But this is just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking long shaft, but am not sure. My opinion is save your money on the PCB and just re-wire it in a traditional manner. But that is only my opinion. And as Cap said, long shaft pots...

jaygl Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 Thanks for the responses. I prefer the tone pot cause I use them , whereas I have not really fell in love with the boost function. As for the coil split, are there pots i can get that will allow me to keep it? And if i decide to ditch it, how do I wire up the 2 wires from the PUP's? Just twist 'em together and solder as normal?

Yes. Push pull pots are readily available. If you post your final decision on what you want I'll happily find/make you a diagram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, thanks man. I'd ultimately like to keep the coil tap, but loose the mini toggle in favor of a tone pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eracer_Team Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 here is a good source of wireing setups http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/ I'd ditch the PCB. that min toggle will require the hole to be bored out, someone did that here already but their posts have all been removed. bore out the hole carefully.
