Title: Trilogy Suite wiring too thick..
Post by: hermz on February 09, 2008, 09:53:41 AM

I'm trying to install two Trilogy Suites into my Caparison Dellinger (HSS config with an existing Warpig), but the Trilogies came with two very thick fancy-lookin' wires each which I simply cannot get to fit through the holes to get into the control cavity (I can't even fit two, let alone all four for both pickups).

I know I could cut these wires and solder on new wire, but I'm worried this will have a negative impact on the sound produced by the pickups.

Any suggestions?

two options, reduce the wire size like you say or enlarge the holes.  Personally i would enlarge the holes but thats only a job to take on if you are confident you can do it.  (remember i havnt seen inside the guitar so dont know what potential pitfalls there may be to that method)

i doubt there are many people who can hear the difference between the two thicknesses of wire but i always prefer the more heavy duty option

Thanks for your reply.  It took me a while but I just managed to get all of the wires through the hole. It was damn fiddly, but I'm glad I didn't have to compromise anything with the pickups. Now for the soldering!  :D
