Overcome8 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 I just bought a 2021 Gibson Les Paul and I want to put a Gibson 57 plus in the bridge or maybe a Seymore Duncan 59. But my Les Paul has one of those plug in deals on the wire harness. Do they sell those for pick ups and were would I buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Gang Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) You might have to snip the plug off of the existing wire harness and splice it into the wiring for the new pickup. I could be wrong, but I haven't seen the pin plugs sold separately to attach to a replacement pickup. Others here who have done a lot of re-wiring projects will probably have a better answer.

sparquelito Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 You can order the Gibson Quick Connect harness from eBay or Reverb, and just splice it onto the bare wires of your new pickup. That's what I did last year, when I wired some Seymour Duncan pickups into my Les Paul. Just be sure to study the color-to-color wiring hookups if you don't go Gibson to Gibson. It's different if it's Seymour Duncan to Gibson, believe it or not. I studied this video when I installed mine. 🙂 And here, I did a screen capture of the critical diagram for you. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 If you buy a Gibson brand pickup, the color of the wiring will be identical, so that's the easy button, come time to solder it in. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Yeah I had a PC Board in an SG I owned. I cut the lead on the plug and gave myself enough to inline solder to the pups and then I just ripped all that stuff out and wired it like a standard guitar.
