fontadoni Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Hi there, I have a 2008 SG Standard with PCB Board. I replaced the stock pickups with the "57 Classic & 57 Classic Plus" combo a few days ago. It was pretty simple to do. I ordered the clips and crimp connectors from Mouser Electronics as another person suggested here on the forums. The 57 classics have only a single wire, I put the black wire in the crimp connector and pushed it inside the clip. It worked fine and I was glad I didn't have to do any soldering. However, I want to make sure this is the right way to do it. Do I need to solder the wire to the crimp connector or am I good to go??? I've read a lot of negative comments about these PCB boards but it was such a simple thing to do, plus I can swap pickups in a breeze. After comparing the 57 Classics to the stock pickups and seeing the benefits of having a PCB board, I decided to keep the stock 490's as well and install them depending on my playing situation. I just want to know if the wire needs to be soldered to the crimp... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 No soldering is needed with a crimp clip, thats why they call them crimp clips, though I would probably suggest putting some shrink tubing on it if you have enough room as an added precaution.

Great! Thanks for your response. I will check out the shrink tubbing that you suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
