Yeah, I'm one of the people who's fought with the circuit board.

I did originally cut the old pickups off the plugs and splice the BKP wires on to the trailing leads (fiddling with rewiring the plugs would be a pain without the proper tools). It wasn't pretty but it worked.

Shortly after that I wanted to mess around with different capacitors, though. That would have been well-nigh impossible as far as I could see. So I just took the circuit board out and replaced it all with standard stuff. Much happier now!

In fact, I might be about to swap some pickups around between guitars when I get time, and this SG might be giving up its Riff Raffs and getting the MQs out of another guitar.

And another welcome from me :D

Thanks Andy, yea I'll be doing the same for now, I just wanted to hear the change for now without replacing anything else so I'll just be splicing the wires together as well but I can definitely see the whole lot coming out some time in the future. I expect to be happy without changing the whole lot so we'll see...I was very tempted by the riff raffs as it goes as they're also nice, I reckon I've made the right choice though  :)
