Title: Interesting pickup frame with series/parallel and split switch included
Post by: hunter on September 22, 2009, 03:31:12 PM

Great product idea. A pickup frame with two small switches for series/parallel or split functions.

Just solder any 4-wire pickup to the small PCB and connect that one to your normal pots - done.
Comes in different colours to match your guitar for around 35 EUR.
Hmmm, think I'm gonna throw one of these in my PRS to test.

That is a bloody good idea.

Let me know how it goes.

Already seen this, think its a great idea. I do wonder about durability though

I'd break that in a second.

I think it's a great idea but I just hope the person installing it won't trim the wires really short.

I saw that.  A great way to use the new P-Rails without having to install switches and stuff.

Yeah, you either have to sacrifice the pickup cables or have loads of wire crammed under the pickup, with a couple of flimsy little wires running from the PCBs to the controls.

It just seems a bit fragile and finicky to me.  And (forgive me for saying this...) not very rock'n'roll somehow.
