BBMusic22 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I recently purchased a set of Gibson MHS pickups taken out of a Les Paul ES guitar. I am putting them in my 339, which came used with P-90's that I did not like. The MHS pickups have no markings as to which is neck or bridge. I have read they use different magnets. One reads 7.94k and the other 7.61k. Another clue is I can tell one of them had the ground wire that comes from the stop tail pice soldered to the shielding, because a piece of it is still there, so this to me suggests it was in the bridge position, because on my CS 339 that is where the ground wire attaches. So if anyone knows, does the LP ES also use a ground wire soldered to the braided shielding on the bridge pickup wire? This would confirm to me that is the bridge pickup, which is also slightly hotter on the meter. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Not MHS but I'd say ground wire to the bridge is correct. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmBd3blt3w8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
