57plus

[Overcome8]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
