Changing Pickups tutorial with photos
« on: November 21, 2006, 10:22:38 PM »
Well, not quite but it's an excuse to share with all of you these pictures freshly taken this evening.

I'm sorry about the quality of the pics but I couldn't get anything better  :(

First of all, the lovely set of BKP PG humbuckers with all the goodies....nice


Then a picture of my "pickupless" LP from 1991 with a Bigsby B7 and a delrin nut and all the tools that changing pickups requires:


These pickups look as cool as they sound. Look at this:


The gory guts ; selected 500k pots by CTS, 22 nF guitarcaps capacitors by hovland, 50s wiring, ....


Ok after some soldering the pickups are in their proper place:


The final result:



Very nice indeed sir...... I haven't been able to try the guitar yet but as soon as I can I'll be sharing some mp3 with you.

Tim, thank you! ;)

Though i have to admit i've hardly touched it since buying the gibson  :lol:


Great guitar you have there, i can;t wait to hear what it sounds like with the new pups.
