Want to fit my Seymour Duncan and Bare Knuckle pickups in my new Les Paul. Wondering where in NZ I'd get some of these clips?





Be nice if they used the same colour code.



Ta.

Rscomponents would stock generic pcb header connectors like that

I think that's more work to be honest.

Do you crimp the contacts to the pickup wires then push fit them into the connector?

Don't know yet.

yes correct, you can remove the pins from the connector with a pin to release a little tag that holds the pin in
the crimper is the hard part but you can carefully solder the wire to the blank pin and just fold the tags over with some pliers

It's possible to buy them pre-wired from Reverb but it'd be $60 by the time I got them here.

here you go, I've narrowed it down to 125 products for you to look through (molex 5 pin connectors)

Cheers Bg. I'll just buy two of each.

When I replaced the pickups in an SG with this type of circuit board arrangement I found the wire colours between the neck and bridge pickups is actually different, really stupid idea but that's Gibson for you. You will see the order of the wire colour in the Molex connector is different for each pickup, but the pin layout on the circuit board for each connector is actually the same.

I may have the plugs I cut off mine which you could solder to the BK's, I'll check when I get home.

Ahh, poo. The picoblade thing itself is only sold in quantities of 100 at $30. I'm as well to just bloody cut the existing ones off.

I'll take 10 for $3

how about making another quick connect in-between the pickup and the existing quick connect. You could put the male quick connects on the pickup end of the wire, and on the wire with the existing quick connects, you could put a female end. Does that make sense?

jaycar had some that were close enough,i sanded the plug slightly to fit for the job I was doing, a fernandes sustainer install tho not gibson but looked like same plug
