  1. Thanks all, my search has led me to Obsidian Wire, I'm going to order a harness from them. Solderless kit. This will do me fine. Only thing I gotta do is make the hole the boost switch was in a little larger to fit the pot through.
  2. Would this work OK with mine then? Its a modern les paul so I'm thinking just easiest quickest option. Solder-less would suit me https://www.ebay.com/itm/283667054279
  3. Would I need to remove the pickups or can I use those without the battery pack. Was the 9v battery for the boost switch purely or are those pickups active? Thanks for the help
  4. Are the Zebra coil 57 classic and Super 57 pickups active or passive? I have a 2014 LP with a boost switch. It has a battery compartment on the rear plate. Is that for the boost switch or the pickups? I don't know anything about wiring or stuff like that.
  5. . Hello, I have a 2014 Les Paul Classic that I bought brand new when it came out. I was gonna sell it because I don't like how it looks and I've never used the boost switch and never will. However I've decided to keep it and maybe do some custom bits to it to change its look. Firstly I want to remove the interior thing with the boost switch and go with a traditional look (2 volume and 2 tone). Now I have never done any soldering or work on a guitar in my life, I'm a complete and utter noob when it comes to this stuff. I want help with what to get in place of it. Can I buy pre made pot sets that literally all I gotta do it fit in etc. The pickups on this guitar are "Zebra coil 57 classic and Super 57" The back plate has a battery compartment flip out thing so I'm assuming either active pickups or it's fro the boost switch, I don't know, if anyone can tell me if I were to rewire will them pickups still work or do I have to have a battery? Looking for advice and help in what to get and buy. All the interior wiring connection ends look like USB ports or something out of a computer. So would I have to scrap all the wiring aswell? Under nor.al circumstances I'd leave into a shop luthier but because of Covid nowhere is open here and we're on full lockdown. I will add a photo for all to see what's underneath
  6. Oh, and hi back. I didn't even know you'd greeted me, I haven't figured out the format here yet.

  7. You didn't snag that name from Blue Oyster Cult's Spectres by any chance, did you? My name is based on 2 of their songs.
