Thanks for the response. How could you not do it by not splicing the wires together? Pickups comes with raw wires and the guitar end is a 5 pin connector, looks like...

Hello Gibson Forum, I have a question about the quick connect pickups and this seems like the best place to ask. I have a 2018 SG with the Quick Connect pickups. I have seen other forum threads regarding them. It seems there are more minuses than positives. You have to buy an adapter to fit a non-Gibson pickup. Gibson has a limited selection of Quick Connect pickups and they seem to be never in stock. My first question is does anybody know if there's any more than the 4 or 5 or so pickups that seem to be QC (and never in stock, but there are some on Reverb). My 2nd question is this. It seems that if you buy an adapter and a new non Quick Connect pickup, you can technically tie/twist the wires together without soldering and install the pickup. Is this correct? Granted, this wouldn't be permanent, but would allow you to possibly try pickups in your guitar and then return them, because they wouldn't be soldered. This seems like a plus if it is true. Of course, it seems you could buy an adapter and do this with any guitar perhaps, but I digress... Do you folks know if what I suggest can be done? Thanks.
