darling67 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) Hey gear heads! I have a 2013 Gibson '50s Tribute SG, which I had the neck P90 swapped-out for a mini humbucker some years ago. I now want to return the guitar to its all-P90 state. When I brought the guitar in for the pickup swap, the tech showed me how Gibson had begun using a "Quick Connect" connection to a "circuit board", as opposed to soldering to make the connection. I see a P90 on the Gibson accessories page, but it does not appear to have the "Quick Connect" jack attached. If I can make the swap as easy as possible—and not make it necessary for the tech to have to solder anything—I would like to go that route! Have any of you any experience using Molex quick connect adapters with a regular, standard wire for a pickup—whether it was a P90, humbucker, mini, etc.? If so, which one do you recommend? Thank you so much! Edited April 17, 2018 by darling67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
