Recommended Posts

So i went to a Guit' shop today who specialise in gibson guitars and parts (rather rare in australia, well i think so) they do gibson aswell, but they only sell gibby parts so i went there bought some black top hat knobs with silver ontop, 20 dollers, and i went to buy two chrome pup covers, but there guitar tech said that gibby covers wont fit on my g-310 due to the pole piece size diffrence, so i guess i must resort to buying some suitable pup covers off of the net, can you guys tell me what sort of covers i need, like 50mm, 48mm etc. and also provide a link from a well known seller who ships world wide, thanks guys.

A fast glance at my 2008 Epi catalog tells me that

a G-310 comes with 650R (neck) and 700T (bridge)

pups. My LP Special II project git has the same.

Sooooooo, quick check with machinist's ruler says:

Bridge pole spacing - 52mm = 2 & 1/16"

Neck pole spacing - 50mm = 1 & 15/16"

 

You'll have to do some research to find a dealer either

in OZ or who ships to OZ. My initial search shows these

folks ship international -

Start yourself a reference Binder, and soon you'll be able to

pass info on to others!!!!

sorry but i dont understand there measurements' date=' example "pole spacing is 1-15/16" for the neck and 2-1/16" for the bridge"[/quote']

 

It's telling you that the distance between the center of each of the outermost polepieces is 1 and 15/16ths of an inch for the neck and 2 and 1/16th for the bridge. Damn Americans with their super accurate fractions of inches. :)

I don't follow Kill Audio - it's just not to my taste. I follow the Amory Wars, but I honestly must say I'm not a huge fan of it, nor the novel - I love Claudio's songwriting, but his normal writing leaves a lot to be desired. :-

 

I'm not really a comic fan, either. [biggrin]

Well, how about THIS, then? :-

50 mm = 1.96850 "

52 mm = 2.04724 "

Tpurg,

 

Did the Gibson knobs fit ok on your G-310. I was told they would not.
