Hello,

 

I'm thinking in changing the pickups of my 2013 Les Paul Standard but, how can I do that into the circuit board (PCB) that Gibson is putting into their guitars. Haven't found a video in Youtube about it... Do I need to change the whole thing?... or I can use the same plugs.. need help here

You have 3 main choices...

 

Buy quick connect pickups, unplug those and plug the new ones in.

 

Buy normal 4 conducter pickups and cut the plugs off the old ones and solder them to the new ones.

 

Throw the lot away and wire it point to point without the circuit board. This will mean buying pots and caps as well.

Option 2 seems better for now.. I didn't know I could use the same Molex conector for the new pups. I think I can buy them too... I think it's Molex part# 51047-0400
